The price was nice. I haven't paid that little for a room in a long time. The location on the water is good if the weather is nice. Was lucky to find street parking nearly for free.

People were very nice, location good and the price was great. In general it was really good.

Eva

Property location was great, views were lovely if your room was on the sea side, although windows were very hard to see out of due to cleanliness. We had a lovely evening walk to the sea and up the hill, with beautiful cliff top views.

Very dated decor. Parking a huge issue. We had one bed of 3 which looked like someone had just got out of it. Had to walk through a party to check in. Needs a drastic makeover to bring it up to date.
It was clean, like someone had done a proud job with a poor quality canvas. They kept our rooms fairly close together as asked. Blankets, pillows and soaps already in the wardrobe so easily accessible. No faff checkout. By far the best value in the area if all you need is a bed and a wash.

Everything The place needs bulldozing I'm afraid. Wires hanging out of the lift, suspicious looking man on the stairs who looked on drugs. Carpets and sofas with holes in, the only hood thing was the entertainment the singer was good and we had a laugh, the breakfast was shocking and no one could eat it, they have smoking rooms and the hotel stinks 🤮 very sad and depressing building and it isn't suitable for children I wouldn't take my dog in there, speaking of which there were so many of them in the hotel aswell .

Bed most uncomfortable I’ve ever attempted to sleep in, pillows lumpy, towels small and very thin almost transparent. Very small room badly furnished, tv useless. Sofas in lounge ripped very tatty. No space in car park and had to walk through a throng of smokers just to enter the hotel. Long queue to check in , very noisy.

New paintwork would be worthwhile on outside and some renewing on the inside would allow higher prices and then everyone is happy.
