Big blue hotel never disappoint us
We always stay at this hotel but this time the room we had was very small double bedroom with very small window which only tilts open small space which is no good for me as I suffer from claustrophobia. Apart this time with small room we never are disappointed with this hotel.

Decent room good food
We stayed in a deluxe double room and although the room was decent with a nice little fireplace it wasn’t very user friendly. No plugs next to bed for phone chargers, and if you’re a lady wanting to relax and get ready it’s not very good for this. I had to stand over a drawer unit to get ready and there was no where to plug straighteners anywhere near a mirror so just doesn’t work for that. The food was lovely in the restaurant and the staff in both reception and the restaurant were very friendly.

Overall, lovely stay, friendly staff
Our overall stay was lovely, we were celebrating our anniversary. We had a nice stay, the only thing that slightly marred our stay were the special offers advertised in the room, for the same price we had paid for room only, they were offering dinner and breakfast inclusive which was a little disappointing

Liked: Proximity to train station Proximity to pleasure beach and south pier Staff friendly Bath The poached eggs freshly made The cooked breakfast Comfy pillows (choice to add more pillows) Easy to check in Luggage storage with tags Disliked: No muesli for breakfast both mornings despite listed on menu Cannot leave windows open even short period of time due to flies/beasties (left open for 1 hour while at dinner and room was infested) One shower gel, one soap and one shampoo sample between 2 isnt enough Gym has no weights or mat Slow draining sink in room More fruit and yoghurts would be good at breakfast I also don't like 2 beds pushed together to make one double bed Overall it wasn't any better than Premier Inn or Travelodge so id probably book there next time or go Deluxe if there's a deal available.
