The staff ‘welcome’ at check in was dreadful. Three staff members huddled round a computer and ignored me for several minutes. No acknowledgement, or a simple ‘be with you in a minute’, just ignored. When they finally looked up there was no smile, no greeting, just stared at me and waited for me to speak. I genuinely wanted to walk out at stay at a Travelodge!

Great location close to sea front and long promenade. Lovely breakfast selection. Pool has sauna and steam room - but a weird shape of pool makes it hard to swim laps. Rooms are slightly tired, but adequate.
