The hotel shows its age; although, that is part of the local attraction and charm. Restaurant service was excellent, in particular. Front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Perfectly situated within east walking distance of town centre, sea front and other facilities. Staff very friendly and helpful in lots of different ways, breakfast very good indeed (lots of choice) and rates very reasonable. I booked because Premier Inn full but next time I would have this as first choice.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property, the quality of management, the staff and the food were all excellent. We were perhaps unfortunate in having a room with drawbacks: a lack of electric sockets - it was only possible to plug in the kettle on the floor, to plug in my laptop I had to unplug the phone,: the bathroom was cold - a huge single-glazed window that could not be closed completely, a very small towel rail radiatior that was barely on, nowhere by the basin to put anything (except the floor). Maybe it's the hotels.com problem: you get the worst room in the hotel if you book through hotels.com.

I enjoyed my stay in this old style hotel - the foyer and dining room were quite grand, perhaps more so in the past. The room was good and modern. Breakfast was ok, but as it was inclusive I can't complain. Sea front location, near to the town at a reasonable price.

Hotel is in a great location but is let down by tired condition. My room had a loose window that whistled all night in the wind, the old bathroom could have been cleaner, low hot water pressure. My friend’s room hadn’t been cleaned properly, still had rubbish from previous occupant behind the chair. It took 2 complaints over 2 days to be resolved but not satisfactorily. Housekeeping is every 3 days, not daily as Expedia says, we weren’t told this at check in. Staff are friendly but not as professional as I would expect for a large busy hotel. Restaurant staff gave me a jug of milk off a used table when I requested milk! Hotel is probably ok for an overnight stay but not longer. Free secure parking is great but it was a disappointing experience overall.

Great location, comfortable stay, terrible food.

Hotel a bit tired, however my room itself looked more updated, especially the bathroom. Comfortable bed, no complaints about the room. Was able to park in the car park for four of my five nights and found parking easy enough nearby on the night I couldn't. Only complaint was the food, it is dire. I had breakfast included but after the first day I didn't bothet again. The worst ever full English I've ever haf.
