Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
The positives: great location and has a car park (£5 a day) Bad parts: Check in is from 2:30 but rooms available from 4. We arrived at 5:30 and told we needed to wait 45 minutes because no rooms were clean. No empathy or apology for this. The hotel is VERY tired and looks like it was decorated in the late 60’s. On entering the hotel there is a strong smell of smoke due to people Congregating near there smoking. The quality of fixtures and fittings is around one grade below a travel lodge everything is VERY basic. The rooms don’t even have towels for example. The room was cheap and the location was good for us but despite this we wouldn’t return.

The hotel is in need of a complete renovation. The hallways are gloomy and have a prison feel. The wood chip needs to go, carpets replacing and the furniture updating. We were in a family room and transitted through many fire doors to get to our room. The room was large and sufficient, but only had 1 towel bundle for a single person.the water pressure is also woeful! On a plus note it was cheap and the breakfast good. The staff were polite and parking only £5

No hot water in the room from either the hand basin or bath taps. Maintenance could not fix this, so I had to change rooms in the early hours of the morning. Shower on new room wasn't working. Finding a parking space was difficult. Asked for compensation and was only offered a balcony room next time if I book direct.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
So it's a budget hotel and that's okay... I've stayed before so knew that in advance and last time was fine. But this time was very bad. Basically a number of basic things wrong. Shower didn't work, i.e. I couldn't move the plunger from bath to shower head. When I did then water went everywhere. Then I found there was no hot water (night or morning) and was just running cold. Plus the shower gel and hand wash bottle were empty. Also the room was 13.5c when I got in and the heater wouldn't stay on. So I had to give up with heat. I was staying to get the Le Shuttle early the next morning, so I didn't need anything fancy. Sadly it was a terrible night sleep in the cold and no shower the next morning. I told a member of staff the next day and they were a bit disinterested. He said 'you should have asked as we have some shower gel here somewhere' - totally missed the point. Anyway, I sent the hotel a note to see if they would put it right and nothing came back. So seems like they don't really care which is a shame.

This is a good 2 star hotel. If you go in expecting more than a 2 star then you will be disappointed. The only negative I would say is that there was a private event on so we were in the bar area for the entertainment. Limited seating for the size of hotel when the big hall is shut for an event night.

Having stayed here numerous times before we weren’t as happy as usual the room was very dated and the corridor had a very pungent smell of cigarette smoke. We will definitely pay the extra to upgrade the room as we have never had a problem before when having the Seaview Double Rooms

The Staff is great! Su was amazing! They have great happy hour! :-) I completely recommend it, the rooms with balcony have an amazing view!! The only thing I will recommend to the hotel is to care bit more of the cleanness. The cleaning lady's are great people but they need to do the cleaning bit better. If gets better cleaning I will give an extra star.
