The hotel was fine, shame there was no lift. Breakfast was hot and lots of choice and a bonus it was included in the price. I would use this hotel again as it’s situated near a park and the beach and entertainment.

Unfortunately there was little food available at lunch despite advertising a bar menu. Door to room wouldn't close without slamming obviously a common problem as doors everywhere slamming. Very noisy with people shouting and children running around the corridor. Best thing was location on sea front.

Excellent location & great staff

All good, great location for beach, parks & walk into town Easy & free on site parking. Very friendly & proffesional staff, a true assett to the hotel. Nice choice for breakfast. Lovely large room with a view to sea & park. Only comment would be that the bathroom would benefit with some tlc however it all worked and the bath towels were large & soft. Nice outside space, comfy dining room and amicable bar with tv.

Need customer focus

Went to a wedding evening and everything was fine until we were woken at 0830 to workmen on the roof (we were in the annex with a flat roof). Then the power went off so no lights to have shower etc. On a positive the wedding reception was great and the breakfast was excellent

The area around the hotel was great, everything was super close and the beach being outside was amazing but the condition of our room was so so poor. The wallpaper was hanging off the wall, the dressing table was barely standing up, the floors were super dirty so it overall felt super run down and unclean
