Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although work going on in the building, it did not affect us. Room was huge, bed very comfortable, and the added bonus of a large sofa to watch tv if needed, small table and 2 chairs overlooking the sea. And all exceptionally clean. Everything you need in the room, tea/coffee, towels, soaps, hairdryer etc. Would definitely go there again.

Hotel is literally being demolished before your very eyes - hopefully it will come out stronger without leaks, slanted floorways, and better windows. The rooms themselves are extremely small and not super clean. The walls are coming undone with fiberglass showing and it's just a troubling sight. Breakfast was good and staff are doing their best given the condition of the structure.

The Hotel resembled a building site with scaffolding on the exterior of the building, with construction workers coming and going in the interior, which was shabby-Peeling paint, dirty floors. One evening, I had to go without hot water. The breakfast wasn't inspiring, cheap cereals in dispensers, English breakfast didn't look appetising. Although, the rooms were clean they were tired looking.They need to be fresh, modern and contempary. The Hotel shouldn't be open for business, with all this work going on.

Good value

We were a little apprehensive when we saw that there was building work going on as the hotel is being revamped, but we needn’t have worried, the hotel and builders worked closely to ensure there wasn’t an issue with noise etc. The room we had was spotlessly clean, it was a little tired decor wise, but this is obviously being addressed. I hope they do not remove too much of the old features, which gives it its character. The staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, they were helpful, kind and most importantly had great senses of humour. The breakfast was great, choice of cereals, toast , yoghurt grapefruit and a cooked full English. Have already recommended to friends and family as it was also good value for money.
