We stayed in a seaview room for 2 nights although in august due to the circus you only get partial seaview. Nice budget hotel beds were comfortable small shower and toilet room. General hotel area was clean, shower was a bit mouldy in places, lots of dust down side of bed. The hotel needs to invest in new bedding sadly pillows smelt of stale sweat. Other wise room was great for budget price just what we were looking for/needed. Stone throw from beach with crossing outside. 5min drive from zoo, close to trainstation. Solomon the host a lovely man nothing was to much trouble for him. Sorted us for parking late afternoon on second day as side street full does cost £7 which is quite expensive but on par for the area. Would stay again hust bring own pillow

Very friendly staff, was upgraded a room as there was availability which was kind of them. Cleanliness was ok, provided with towels and toiletries. Location was great so close to the seafront and pier and everything was in walking distance. Would stay there again.

I had room onlly, shower, TV and free WiFi/shower

I think the place was under renovation. It was room only, however in its day it looked as if it had been a decent seaside family hotel. There had been a bar, a dining area and no doubt there had been a restaurant

2 star Hotel for a reason.

Wasn't expecting much from a 2⭐️ hotel, as only needed a room for the night. Shower was leaking slightly, bathroom floor was wet in front of the shower enclosure, toilet seat was broken, heated taul rail was old and dirty. Room windows and tv screen were very dirty. One of the beds wobbled side to side.

The location was good. The host was lovely but the hotel itself was shabby and dated. The tv didnt work, the shower was dirty. I always strip the bedding when i leave a hotel and the duvet was dirty inside. The bar was closed and i certainly wouldnt want to eat in the restaurant. For the price, you get what you pay for but i wouldnt visit again.

The room door code was more convenient thsn a key or card. However staff were initially hard to find on checking in. Creaky floorboards in the corridors meant that noise was heard everytime people walked past the door. Room was clean and functional
