Upon arrival you have to follow a few corridors to small centrally locate reception room to get checked in.
The lift functions has a few scary sounds to it. Could do with moderation, fresh carpet, maybe some modern lining and a mirror. Did save our legs though as there is a lot of stairs!
The room was ok and had the basics, for example tea, coffee and a hair drier. However, the TV was smaller than my laptop screen and this was in a “family room”, with some basic channels unavailable. Windows were very dirty.
The bathroom was big with a deep bath (which my partner loved) and shower overhead. However, there were random marks on the wall, decor felt unkempt and the shower pressure was awful.
Sleep wise the hotel was quiet and despite its central location it was also quiet outside. Bed was comfy and sheets were clean. There was also a small fan in the wardrobe that helped to cool things a little. However, the carpet looked old and in need of replacement.
Breakfast room is modern and clean, with great views of the pier and beach. A good selection of cereal and a hot buffet was accompanied by fresh juices and hot drinks. Staff were friendly and smiling as they helped to seat the guests.
At the front of the hotel there is a large outside area for food and drinks, although we didn’t use this, it was very busy which suggest people do enjoy the meals and the drinks on offer.
Overall good service and style downstairs is not reflected in the quality of the rooms upstairs.
