Mostly clean, but areas of dirt on the bedroom floor and bathroom seemed a bit aged. Room also got really warm, heating was on the whole time. Restaurant was closed, so reception advised I order takeout instead maybe suggesting some nice nearby restaurants… It was okay, but wouldn’t say again.

Great stay at this hotel but there are a few things that could definitely be better. First of all the room and view were lively, it was very clean and the view was amazing. Had dinner at the hotel and unfortunately the food was not very good at all from olives from a jar to a very over cooked burger and undercooked scampi.on the last day we received a note under the door offering a reduced rate to extend the stay if we contacted reception. We called down and the night porter answered and informed us he could not do it and we would need to come down and speak to reception at 8am in the morning. We did not manage this so decided to check outand when we go to reception we were told the stay had been extended that was disapointing. a note could of been put under the door to tell us then we could of stayed. overall a great hotel they just need to train there staff a bit better.

The staff are what makes this place great. All very helpful and friendly. Hotel and room is tired, but the xmas effort made it feel very sparkly and christmassy! Breakfast delicous. Wasn’t sure why no toiletries on offer, this is very unusual for a hotel in this price bracket. Only stayed 1 night so not too challenging.

Room was good with a great ocean view. The staff were very kind, the room was spacious, and the heating worked well, so overall I had a comfortable stay and I would recommend this hotel for the ocean view. However, there were some water-stain marks on the ceiling (not an active leak, just old marks), and the hotel does feel a bit dated. Breakfast was not very impressive.

All the staff were friendly and super helpful. The resident pianist Alan was just fab. He was not only good but made you feel very welcome and spoke personally and passionately about the songs he was playing and gave some history behind them. He played all types of music and even asked the type of music we liked etc so he could play some for us. It was a pleasure to sit and listen to him. Our room was large and very comfortable and having the balcony that wrapped around made the views even better. They could do with a bit of TLC but not so much that it took away how nice they were. We are already planning to revisit but for a little longer as we were only on a stop over before travelling down to Kent. The staff really are an asset.

The 5 stars were missing. It’s actually a 3 star rather than 5 hotel. It was a blend hotel; & room with no soul although spacious and with sea views. The stairs and room carpet was dirty, the bed was rock hard which gave us serous back pain and we had to take painkillers to recover from it. The breakfast was cold and lack quality
