Nicely arranged room and facilities, big soft towels, friendly and helpful staff. We had a lovely few days in this little sea front hotel with amazing view of the whole prom, and the sound of the waves. We would be happy to return. The mattress has seen better days, but when i requested an extra duvet as it was very cold, the staff obliged, but then the heating was much warmer overnight, and it wasn't needed. There is coffee and tea (including a sweet little teapot) and hot chocolate, and downstairs, you have use of a fridge, microwave, and kitchen. There is currently no breakfast option, but it has facilities to make your own or the nearby Premier Inn and other places to buy breakfast out. There is also a nice downstairs lounge. There might be a small food area but it was closed when we were there in January. You can park for 4 hours outside, and overnight for free if you can get a spot quick is great, and you can people watch from the window as the dogwalkers go past, or just step straight out on to the Prom. It's a shame the double glazed windows aren't clear, presumably with constant sea salt, as that marrs the view somewhat. But it is definitely worth getting a sea view room here. I can't imagine staying here and having a view of the back! All in all, a little gem and thoroughly recommended. Hooe to stay here again.

Cheap and you got what you paid for! Linen was clean, towels were clean, bathroom was clean. Room was in a terrible state of repair, paint peeling from the walls, furniture was worn and shabby, unable to sit on chairs as they were unstable. We were second floor with beautiful sea front views that we struggled to see due to how dirty the windows were (on the inside!)

Poor welcome despite arriving before 6pm. Beach view was great but room was very shabby- roof leaking when raining- wall paper and paint pealing off, curtains ripped with holes in them, couldn’t open windows for fresh air, had to call maintenance as toilet not flushing and regarding the roof leaking, shower cubicle not emptying / blocking, carpet stained, we had to chase up our notifications with reception as not attended to, but maintenance man was lovely when he did attend

Great price, wonderful views. Plain but fine.

Beach view was great. Room was good. Beds comfortable. Water did go cold in the shower after around 5 minutes. Also drained very slowly. Cracks on the walls that could do with being filled with a bit of paint. Otherwise it was great. We would come again despite these issues.

Great view. But not a nice place to stay.. very small room, poorly equipped. No air conditioning .. so when it’s sunny then you can’t stay in the room because of heat. The shower stopped working in the night. There is no one at the reception after 9:00. They did not have enough towels. So I was given one face towel instead of a bath towel.
