"Very professional and friendly welcome, parking straightforward and lovely room (106) which had 3 large full length windows overlooking the Spa bridge and the sea. Towels lush. The bar, restaurant and lounge areas were all clean and comfortable. The only negative I have is the breakfast. They advertise only continental available which is fair enough but the pastries were very stale on the second day. Nothing is covered eg bread and cereals and jam is in big pots only so have to spoon onto your plate. Butter is a small pot on the table, otherwise it is Flora. All self serve including an egg boiler which I failed at twice! They did also provide bacon,scrambled,beans and pancakes on a random rickity table which lets the hotel down. The area and presentation could be improved quite easily with just a few changes in fresh products every day and clean covers/spoons to serve. All that said I would recommend this hotel to anyone, location is perfect and staff are excellent. Oh not to forget free coffee/teas all day and fresh cake or biscuits daily at 4pm!!"

"Great location, friendly staff, nice rooms"

"Just back from a three night stay in this lovely hotel. We chose Palm Court because of its location and its residents car park, this is a covered car park a just round the corner from the main entrance. Check in was quick and simple. Our room (No 31) was very nice, it was on the corner of the building with windows overlooking the front of the hotel and the multi story car park to the side. We had a very comfortable king size bed and the room was spotlessly clean. There was a hospitality tray with tea, coffee and hot chocolate sachets ( replaced daily). The bathroom was a bit cramped but had everything we needed, it was well laid out with an over the bath shower. Shower gel and shampoo was provided. We were very happy with our room, if I was to find a very minor fault it would be the lack of a USB outlet, not a major issue as we took an adapter. Breakfasts taken in the restaurant were excellent with a self service section for fruit juices, cereals etc end waiter service for cooked items. The breakfast menu contained a very good choice , the Yorkshire breakfast was excellent, (sausages exceptional). We had a very good dinner in the restaurant, the food and service were excellent. There is also an excellent range of snacks and meals also available in The Lounge . On checking in you are issued vouchers which give a discount on food bought in the restaurant and lounge. We found all staff at the hotel extremely pleasant and helpful. Would we book here again, absolutely yes."

"Basic"

"It is clear that the hotel’s glory days are in the past. There are indications of what it was like then but sadly also signs of its fall from grace. The positives were that the hotel was well situated, was clean, the views spectacular and entertainment was good. The staff were fine but there were few of them. The restaurant was very disappointing and food was mediocre at best. We even skipped breakfast. There was also a lot of noise in our room from seagulls nesting outside but fortunately they were quiet at night."

"Best part of the Hotel the staff friendly and welcoming . Personally would never stay again . The building is grand unfortunately time and the owners have not been kind to it. Very dated and neglected in parts. Appreciate that it’s a budget hotel but come on owners update the facilities. Paid £17:95 for a one course meal in the buffet restaurant was not worth it my opinion. So did not stay for breakfast had at a local cafe instead."
