Nice but a bit overpriced

Room was clean but a little shabby, very few amenities in the room especially for the price we paid and the lift was more than a little temperamental. Staff were absolutely lovely though! We were at the back of the hotel and got an awful lot of noise from a nearby bar on 3 of the 5 nights we stayed. The cooked breakfast was excellent but the continental options were very limited- mini croissants, cereal, plain yoghurt- no fruit or anything like that. Also finshed serving quite early on weekdays- no lie-ins for us!!

Loved this place. Opposite BIC so not far to go home! Hotel great communication after I altered room set up. It was exactly as I'd asked. They were so friendly, particularly on reception. Lovely large clean windows with pier/sea view. Will definitely stay again when attending BIC. Only quibble, very little choice at breakfast. Not a lot of healthy food, no fruit and coffee was odd. Cooked food was good.

Short Break at Very Central Hot

A very comfortable small room but adequate. Very nice breakfast and staff are truly amazing. Excellent location and neighbouring eateries. Major drawback is parking adjacent car park poorly maintained and not secure but very cheap £7 for 24 hours. BiC £22.50 for same period.
