First good things, the staff are nice n helpful, location is good if you want to spend time near beach and enjoy nearby amenties, bingo, entertainment were nice but no food allowed there, only drinks! Though food at Aztec bar was nice. pool and spa facilities were good, on first day, the pool water was very cold, 2nd day was less cold. Enjoyed firey n cold spa treatment (extra charges). Parking is free only if book directly with TLH(i saw a big sign in their sister hotel), non tlh bookings are to pay £10 per day, which adds up eq if you staying 5 days, i.e extra £50! Re: room, Our given room looked really old, tiles broken, door handle broken, some horrible smell, so we requested to change our room, the reception staff was helpful and offered us different room, this was little bigger n fresh, but same old tired room, broken bathroom tiles, black brown dirt mould around toilet seat, dirty windows, bathroom needs demolition and rebuilt,when walking around room n hotel squeaking noisy woods. Hotel decor is really old except the reception area, which seems to be recently renovated n looks nice compared to the rest of the hotel.

We have stayed at the Derwent a few years back so we knew what to expect when we booked the Carlton, the hotel is very clean and bed was comfortable but the rooms are dated but have what you need for your stay. Staff are friendly and helpful, breakfast was good.
