Regrettable stay in this tired hotel

I stay in hotels a lot and like to think I’m pretty fair and unfussy. This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed here and I was hoping it would be better than the first time, especially as the cost was so much more. Unfortunately it was not! The staff were perfectly reasonable and the view was lovely, even for the ground floor. That are literally the only positive points. The room was very tired, no hairdryer, and empty box of tissues, the furniture is very dated and tired. The sprung bed was like something you would expect in a dorm and the bathroom, with perhaps the cheapest excuse for a shower curtain I have ever seen, is very dated. Everywhere was clean which is the only reason I didn’t complain. I did have breakfast, unfortunately, and it followed suit in being poor. Again, I’m not fussy but this is the only time I remember leaving a paid for breakfast and went to McDonald’s instead! This may read a little harsh but was genuinely a regrettable stay and I would have been disappointed if the room cost £50 let alone over £120! I would not recommend this hotel and won’t be staying again.

Room was very clean tidy and well supplied, staff were all excellent, all meals were hot and tasty and at a reasonable cost. Only down side was the noise from drunken smokers just outside our room window as we were trying to sleep would recommend you avoid room 241 for this reason, otherwise it was an excellent experience.

Short break away

As a couple we stay here 2-3 times during the year. This is mainly due to its exceptional location. Our hotel room was spacious and clean. The bath towels were white and fresh smelling. Also the shower curtain was stain free and toiletries are provided. However, the shared public areas, in particular the lounge with the sofas were at times dirty and scruffy.There doesn't appear to be enough staff to clear tables and give surfaces a clean. We are aware that dogs are allowed in this area and we could really smell 'the wet doggy smell' Also some people let their dogs up onto the sofas so they have dog hairs on them. Food on the carpet was not hoovered up over the 2 days of our stay. Breakfast is okay but nothing special. It feels a bit like a canteen and it can be disorganised. For example they ran out of juice, milk, yoghurts, fruit and croissants. As staff were already stressed we didn't want to ask for items to be put out. Hotel guests shouldn't have to keep asking for breakfast items to be replenished. On a brighter note the coffee and cream scones are lovely and are not overly expensive. Most of the staff try to be helpful and friendly although they do seem to have responsibilities in different areas of the hotel. As a result they can appear to be a bit stretched and then apologise a lot for waiting times. A few tweaks and this could be such a fantastic hotel.

Fantastic location

Fantastic location, very clean, food good but not all starters on menu were available so only had 1 course. Fare prices for food and drinks. Bed not very comfortable. Didnt ask at checkout how the stay ŵas. If you wanted a bathmat you had to buy one from reception. No handrails for shower in bath.

Budget hotel not budget prices

Spacious room, wonderful sea view, quiet mostly except for inconsiderate guests making a noise after various returns to the adjacent room from the wedding at the hotel. Not the hotels fault. Breakfast was ok. Ran out of cooked items at 9 am despite finish at 9:30. A cafeteria experience. Didn’t eat dinner, very uninspiring budget coach party fayre.

Lovely room with fantastic view. Very pleasant staff. Food was excellent. A little chaotic over staffing levels to cover bars. Sign would say a bar was closed and to use the other bar in the restaurant but when you went to that bar there were no staff working on it. They had to leave the restaurant to serve the drinks. Have stayed on a number of occasions and will definitely book again.

Having stayed at The Haven on several occasions previously we found the breakfast very disappointing when compared with our previous stays. Car parking also has a new regime in place. Rooms seem as before. The menu for evening meals was also much reduced from previously- so we ate out during our stay. All things considered if and when we travel to the area again we will look elsewhere for accommodation. Pity really because we have some fond memories of our previous stays. The hotel itself seems unchanged and is in a great position.
