Conveniently located by the harbour and castle. Room 2 (twin room) was basic but clean and comfortable with everything in working order. As our stay was during the summer heatwave, it’s difficult to comment on whether it’d be warm in cooler months. Somewhat noisy at night and early morning due to the room facing the main harbour road.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
So firstly when we arrived the man at reception asked for my ID and wouldn’t give me the key until I showed him proof of me. Unfortunately I didn’t have anything other than my credit card. That was no good I had to show him a bank statement on my phone, very intrusive plus he was grumpy and rude. The stairs going up to the room looked like they hadn’t been swept for years they were filthy and it smelt old and musty. The room itself was big and looked over the harbour but other than that it was tired looking, there were stains on the coverlet over the bed and I found a tangled mass of someone’s hair on the carpet !!! Yuk … The towels were very tiny and thin and well used and smelt equally musty and dampish!! Horrible… this room was £154 for the night and definitely a rip off. I would say find somewhere else. Very disappointing and nothing like the description..

Check in window of 1 hour is ridiculous. We were slightly later and felt as though we were told off like children. Unhelpful, un attentive staff made us feel not welcome. Room was nice but won’t be staying again.

Lots of good things but.......

This property is in an excellent location opposite the harbour with amazing views. The room was a good size and warm considering the freezing weather. It seemed to be recently decorated with a modern bathroom. Lots of wardrobe space and a king size bed. However, there were some issues in the room including a very scaly kettle, only 2 teabags, 1 shower gel, no glasses, no bathmat, flat batteries in tv remote, and only half a loo roll. As there were no staff on site for most of the time these problems were difficult to resolve but the young staff, when they were there, were polite and helpful. The check in time of 1 hour is much too narrow and we were asked for full credit card details on arrival despite having paid in advance. These weren't destroyed as far as we know.

Clean, good location. Strange timings.

I think the hotel is either new or newly run as they seem to be finding their feet. Check-in was 3pm to 4pm and when I called to say I might be around 6:30, I was told "it's only hour and a half from Manchester" and "there might not be anyone here after 5pm". It felt a bit abrupt in all honesty but when I arrived around 5:30 (Friday school holiday traffic), they were pleasant enough. Breakfast starts at 10:30 to 11:30 which is very late and checkout is 10am. Weird timings, hence my theory they are new to this. We didn't eat there so I can't comment on food. We stayed in room 4 (family room) and it was pleasant. There is a fairly large windowsill outside the bathroom which fits 2 seagulls and we knew about that at 5am in the morning with dawn chorus wake up. Overall, it was comfortable and clean. Right on the front, which was nice. Woukd have been nice to have a car park, we managed to get into quay street for £12 / day. Small car park, we were lucky to get a space.

- The shale beach across the road was the most amazing I have ever seen. - The menu is misleading. My husband wanted NO ALCOHOL beer because he is allergic to alcohol. The NO ALCOHOL beer on the menu said 0.0% alcohol. What arrived was what the waitress said was NO ALCOHOL but it actually was 0.5% alcohol. We sent it back, and I did tell the waitress the menu was incorrect and that she should mention it to management, but she did not seem interested in doing anything about it.
