Excellent value stay. However the room decor was very tired and in much need of a refurb. TV very small, but the shower and bed although basic, were very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good value too. On-site parking was convenient, with plenty of space. Location was brilliant, with the sea front only approx. 100m away and the town only approx. 200m - so perfect.

Perfect area on sea front. This hotel was possibly a very grand place to stay in the past but it needs a lot of upgrading works. Poor decor. We didn't use the dining room but it didn't appear very welcoming.

The friendly staff, view, parking and close proximity to the beach are what elevates my rating of this tired hotel that’s in need of modernising.
