    Bed was a little uncomfortable, mattress not quite firm enough for me.

    Great location. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast with lots of choice. Parking on site a huge bonus

    All in all it was good. But it could be better, especially for the money one pays.

    • Superior Queen Room with Sea View
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The room did not meet my expectations. There could be more amenities. I stayed for 5 nights. I could have been provided some goodies like mineral still water upon my arrival (only once towards the end did I get a can). Not everything was replaced on a daily basis (I wanted minted tea and chamomile- instead of just black tea which I do not drink), toilet paper or small towels (once none of these was added). I would have liked to have a mini fridge. This would have been of help. The room and the building looks in need of upkeep to make it look less old. At certain times the hotel was crowded and there were too many people waiting for the lift, especially when whole groups do check-in. Once I had to go all the way upstairs to the fifth floor at the end of a long conference day!

    Breakfast Location Help I got at the reception, especially by Suzana. She was so willing to help and nice. Really lovely.

    The coffee/Tea facilities in the room. We constantly had to request the refreshments. Not enough milk for the coffees and not refilled each day as expected.

    Great location and breakfast. The receptionist who checked us in was excellent. So warm and welcoming.

    Think about number of hotel guests and how this may affect breakfast ie quantity of food and seating of guests.

    For some reason I booked a room for a person in a wheelchair, which we didn't need. No hooks on bathroom door for towels/robes etc. No shelf in bathroom for toiletries. Breakfast on Saturday morning was overcrowded and chaotic. Location good.

    Great hotel but full to capacity making the stay disappointing.

    On arrival we asked about parking and were informed the multiple storey we parked in was ok, were given a code and paid £9 in the hotel reception, when leaving the car park we were told our ticket did not apply to the car park and had to pay £28. Total £37. On arrival only one lift was working and a group of 52 members of the Sunseakers club were waiting to use the one lift with luggage in front of us. The bar was packed with a wedding party and in the morning there was a queue from the breakfast room into the corridor, another log wait. Nice hotel but full to capacity and a lot of money for the experience.

    Excellent room, excellent breakfast

    There was a lack of storage should we have been staying longer. It took quite a long time to book in. The air conditioning in our room didn't work very well so it was too warm, did report this when we booked out.

    Good location, room was comfortable, breakfast was good.

    Bathroom clean but shower and bath a safety hazard. Breakfast overpriced £22.50.pp Tap misses the wash hand basin. Would expect decent coffee served to the table with toast. Machines produced small half cup of frothy coffee cold and was out of service 50% of the time. Kids room looks like a token gesture.

    Overall it was average.

    No toilet brush in the bathroom despite asking for one to be put in the bathroom. Despite paying for the room on arrival, I still had 2 requests, including a letter under the door, requesting I make a payment. Was not impressed. Also think breakfast was overpriced.

    Liked the location. Paid extra for room with a sea view.

    Be aware extra charge for parking (not clear). The Living Well changing room was very dirty - black mould (very large patches) on walls and doors. Overfilling sanitary bin. Most grubby changing room I’ve ever entered!

    Loved location. Lovely ambiance in the lobbies. Pleasant staff. Excellent comfy, clean bedroom.

    Did not like the £25 charge for an early check in even though the room was ready and available, never have I experienced a charge like this before.

    Room was nice and had obviously been updated recently.
