The executive sea view room is spacious with huge windows and a great view of the seafront. Fantastic to just cross the road to go for a swim. Well located for all the town's facilities and walking distance from the train station. Good parking deal at 2.35 per day. Downside was the bathroom is very small, and gets stiflingly hot, and has no space to put your toiletries

It was exactly as I expected for a British seaside hotel. The rooms are very dated and you don’t really want to walk on the carpet but the staff were friendly and attentive and it’s in a great location. Had lunch in the restaurant which was extremely average yet very overpriced. You’re much better going to eat somewhere on Terminus Road about ten minutes walk away.

Great for a night or two

Great location by sea front - slightly dated interior and feel to the hotel - maybe trying to keep to a certain look and feel. However everything was clean. Friendly staff, though wi-fi was quite patchy annoyingly.

Nice stay in a friendly family run hotel

This is a nice hotel located perfectly for our theatre trip. Friendly staff, lovely clean room with a sea view, decent food (we ate from the bar menu) and a nice bar. Excellent value one night stay. We will definitely return.

A dated hotel that has charming communal spaces and restaurants. Rooms do show the age of it though but quite comfortable nonetheless. Staff are not very enthusiastic, but was a good stay for one night when travelling for work.
