Shower was very hard to switch on/off.

Close to Rail station to walk, easy to walk to venture nearby or taxi. Comfy spacious room and had been upgraded. Good comes before hand, helpful staff. As no restaurant they provided leaflets of places to eat with personal tips of favourites. Has pool area but didn’t get time to use.

The shower had a poor flow in the bedroom. Wall paper was a little tatty.

The health club and the swimming pool were great. The peace and quiet and overall comfort of the room. Night porters were friendly and helpful.

SAD THAT IT IS NOW BEING SOLD OF TO BE A BLOCK OF FLATS, BUT STILL IN OPERATION RIGHT NOW, BUT SOME AREAS NEED ATTAENTION. BUT I'M AFRAID, ITS LIKE MANY PLACES IN THE HOSPITALTY INDUSTRIE, COVED HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL I'M AFRAID AND THERE IS NOT THE MONEY AROUND TO SAVE IT. BUT GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE STAFF, IN THE FUTURE.

THE STAFF WERE VERY GOOD AND HELPFUL, WE HAD A COUPLE OF ISSUES, WHICH WERE DEALT WITH PROMPTLY, WHICH IS ALL YOU ASK. NOT SURE WHEN THE PLACE IS SHUTTING DOWN OF YET, BUT IF IT'S STILL OPEN, WHEN WE ARE THAT WAY AGAIN, WE WILL BOOK HERE.

Unfortunately, the hotel decor was looking slightly tired, however this didn't affect my stay. I was still happy with everything.

I only stayed overnight and enjoyed staying there, very clean and comfortable. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I was very pleased with the cost of my stay which was fantastic value and included a lovely breakfast. They have an indoor swimming pool but unfortunately forgot my swimmers (shame). Good car parking. Would thoroughly recommend

Internet a bit iffy on the top floors.

It was a great experience, staff was really nice and welcoming. Will definitely recommend.

Very very very creaky floorboards throughout the hotel, and there was a disconcerting drop when you step in the lift. No food available in the hotel in the evening but that is not a problem because as I wrote you can buy something at the shops nearby or order some food and eat it in the room. The shower pressure in the room wasn't very good and we discovered why, the flexible hose was damaged. There was a leak coming from the bath screen due the rubber shower door seal it was broken. The space between the toilet and the shower was minimum, making hard to wipe your bottom after doing a number two.

Very good location, free parking (do not park under a tree if you don't want your car to be spoiled and filthy by the birds), staff very kindness and welcoming. The room was nice, decent size, tidy, and clean. Room temperature was perfect. Room provided with iron and ironing table. Free coffee and tea with a kettle ready to be used. You can have a take away and the staff will provided you with plates and cutlery in case is needed. Decoration is not up to date but it is very functional, and the bed is comfortable. Free access to the pool an sauna that we didn't used it.

In need of some tlc but it’s being converted into flats soon so that’s why no work has been done which is a shame. One member of staff appeared a bit grumpy! Otherwise no complaints

Room decent size and very clean. Pool, jacuzzi. Gym, steam and sauna rooms all included in price and open decent hours

Location, staff friendliness and amenities

We’ve stayed here a couple of times before and we were pleased to see on arrival it still has the same charm about it. The staff are pleasant and helpful and the room, very comfortable. Breakfast was perhaps a little on the basic side, but only £10 p/p which we felt was a fair price. Five min walk to the station and 20mins or so to the pier. Love the fact it has a pool, although we’ve yet to use it (there’s always next time!).

The main entrances were not attractive due to the building being so old.

The room was clean but the towel handrail in the bathroom was without heating.

Comfortable, friendly staff and convenient location.

Decor a bit tired, so even though the bathroom was clean, it didn't look it... and the hook was half falling off of the bathroom door. Very very creaky floorboards throughout the hotel, and there was a disconcerting drop when you stepped in the lift.. but we found this to be more entertaining than a problem 😁 The area around the hotel seemed a little dodgy at night, but there is good capacity on site for parking and it's not too far from the train station.

Very good value for money, helpful and friendly staff. The bed was comfortable, nice hot shower, no noise or interference from other guests and there were excellent tea making facilities in the room. No food available in the hotel in the evening, but the staff were happy for us to order something in to eat in our room. Also very tolerant when we arrived for breakfast 5 minutes before the cut off time, and didn't rush us :) Lovely coffee!

Sausages at breakfast were somewhat over-cooked.

Good size room with large clean bathroom and tea/coffee making facilities. Very reasonable price.

Tiny amount of noise from passers by from being roadside, but actually very quiet for a Saturday night so it didn't disturb sleep.

Another lovely stay, friendly staff and a great little pool and jacuzzi. Discovered the sauna and steam rooms which were a bonus! Tasty breakfast with perfectly done bacon and in the evening we were allowed to bring in pizza to eat in the lounge. My daughter loves this place ❤

There was nothing not to like. The decor of the place was a bit tired and old fashioned but that would not stop me going there again.

The staff were so lovely and friendly. The room was nice and big. The location was brilliant, right in the town and near the beach.
