    the towels in our room were wet and the towel dryer/ radiator in the bathroom was not working, it took us a whilst to sort out dry towels so we could have a shower as there was a problem with their tumble dryer too, bit more of a walk into town for something to eat as no evening meal available than the muthu we should have been staying in.

    we stayed in the best western not the muthu as it was closed for refurbishment, room had a good view, it was clean and the beds are very comfy, staff were friendly especially the girl behind the bar and on the front desk, breakfast was good, help yourself affair so you could have what you wanted

    The hotel was not ready to receive guests as the corridor leading to our room had no lighting. There were light fittings on the floor. The 2 nd night the staff added battery operated candles. However they were inadequate. At least they tried.

    The staff were friendly and helpful

    The lifts were out of order for the full week we were there the blind in the bathroom didn't cover the full window and was covered in white paint which took away the look of the bathroom as it looked as though they had just been refurbished for the price we paid for a room you would have thought that would have included breakfast but it didn't and to have breakfast would have cost 20 a couple each day front steps could be an issue for disabled people as I didn't see a ramp

    The location was excellent if you get a room with a sea view it's a great view onto the water

    management didn’t wear masks. when I asked them why they weren’t wearing them they said they didn’t have to as they were double vaccinated. I explained that this was not the case and they argued about it. I would never go back there and that’s a shame!

    Small bedroom, shower very hard to get working, bath plug wouldn't retract so they put a chain on and put it back upside down. Clear glass in bathroom with poor fitted blind.

    Location is brilliant and had been refurbished but not to a high standard, paint on carpets

    The Wifi did not work for a whole evening (but the staff was very helpful in trying to solve it). The bed (during my 2nd stay) was a couch with a sheet placed over it and the heater was broken. I also found a living bug in my bed. There was a leak in the lobby and it is clear that the hotel, despite it's classic aesthetic, has seen better days.

    The location is very central and close to the main shopping street and the railway station. The staff was very helpful, the breakfast was perfectly adequate and the bathrooms were quite clean.
