The room was clean. The toilet was broken, though quickly rectified. The shower worked but with extremely hot water, which could not be changed, hop in/out. The lift was out of order the whole week I was there, I was on the third floor. Surely maintenance should be regularly checked?

A great place to stay

We made a booking for ourselves and 14 other people to stay for 2 days for our wedding in town. The hotel catered for all of our requirements without any problems as far as i know. The service was efficient and friendly, the food at breakfast was tasty, and there was plenty of it, and the room we stayed in was excellent, especially the bathroom. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Very disappointing Best Western.

We have stayed here before in a standard double room, so thought we'd upgrade to a superior deluxe double. But in fairness the only difference we could see was some bathrobes in the wardrobe! Previously we'd had a view over the sea front and a good sized room with a very adequate ensuite on the first floor. The room we had this time was about the same size with a bigger bathroom, but only because we were on the ground floor in a disabled room. We had no view as the window looked out onto main road where people were walking and driving passed and also over looked by other hotels, so had to keep both windows and curtains shut to stop prying eyes and noise!!! Although the room seemed clean initially, when we turned on the bedside lights and they shone up the wall we could see large amounts of dust!! Also because we were in a superior room our bed was two single pushed together to form a superking, however the duvet seemed to be a double in a king-size cover. We were also located next to the toilets for the bar and restaurant. Overall for the extra money very disappointed this stay. Would probably look elsewhere next time.

It is expensive what they charge for a tiny single room with a poor shower that has seen better days with not a lot of pressure coming from it. Best thing about staying here is it is right opposite the tram stop! I wouldn’t stay here again though!
