Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The lifts were broken rokms dirty and smelt baf, broken tap with screw to turn, broken wardrobe offered another room that had leak and v wet carpet. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was refused a refund to go somewhere else. Sticky dirty carpet in room. Missing buttons in lifts meaning you had to put your finger in a hole with electrics. If you were on level 2 none of the buttons worked so the only way to use was call reception for them to press the button on ground level to send lift up or down. Absolute joke

Great stay in a lovely room with warm welcome.

We were welcomed warmly to the hotel.Our room was huge and looked directly onto the beach. There was a choice of bath and shower or level access shower. All the staff we met were friendly and the reception area has been refurbished since our last stay with a new breakfast room and bar. The room was clean with good heavy curtains.

Great Sleep! Hotel parking easy, right in front of the hotel, you can purchase a parking permit from the hotel or pay via your phone. 5-minute walk to loads of fantastic restaurants. 10-minute walk to the pier along the beach front. Hotel room was large and spacious, and the bed was comfortable, TV had a great selection of channels to watch from, had a great sleep! Staff were friendly and welcoming. Great value for money!

Nice rooms but poor response to problems

Room was nice but got woke at 5.30am on sunday morning by a sort of loud mechanical sound aporoc every 20 srconds. It was too loud to get back to sleep. Had to dress and go to reception as no-one answering phone. The noise was only on our corridor and i met another couple siffering from it. I had to go to reception 3 times before i was taken seriously, and eventually the manager moved me to a new room, where i caught up with a bit of sleep. Sadly i missed half a day of a 2 day weekend as a result. The manager told me to email.him about it, which i did. No reply so emailed again no reply again. Rude!!!

Huge room with a sea view, entrance area with wardrobe and a huge bathroom. Plug and USB sockets by the bed which was handy. Large comfy bed. Nice breakfast included in our rate. Only downsides were that one of the cupboards in the room had a handle missing and had been screwed shut rather than replacing the handle, and there was a half-drunk bottle of wine in one of the cupboards that did open!

While the place was reasonably nice, we paid extra for a "sea view"...and got placed in the bottom level...which was a half-story BELOW ground level. Our "sea view" was more of a "knee view"

Quaint hotel on the waterfront. I did recieve an upgrade due to my Best Western membership. The hotel needs additional staff. The front desk person was overwhelmed. The WiFi is horrible. The elevator buttons are missing so you have to stick your finger in to activate. Overall this place needs work.
