one night weekend stay.

We stopped in the first floor sea view room for one night. I managed to park outside the hotel early in the morning and went to reception to see where the hotel car park was. I was given brief instructions where it was. I could not find a parking space and was disappointed the reception never made me aware I could purchase a parking card for the street. This caused me to pay £16 to park at the NCP carpark until the following day. The room was clean and comfortable. The sea and coastal view was excellent. I didn't have breakfast. I thought £15 a head was excessive. The location is good for walking to the south or north side and the town centre.

Disliked: Staff & service
I booked a double seaview room 6 months in advance, to arrive and be told they had overbooked. Initially they said I could have an upgrade and showed us to a suite, which was beautiful. Within 10 minutes the staff knocked to say they needed to move us to a different room but it was still an upgrade. We were shown to a tiny, ground floor room with a view onto what I can only describe as a building site. Half built fencing with black backing hanging off, bare dirt,ld this was unacceptable and not an upgrade, I was told it was, in fact, an upgrade because it was called an "executive room" (strangely not listed on the website as a room type). It was, in reality, a significant downgrade. When pressed for at least a partial refund, it was insisted that because it was "technically an upgrade" they couldn't offer any refund. As a result we cancelled the booking as £135 for one night in a stuffy box room with no view is an absolute rip off. We also missed our dinner booking because of the hour it took to be moved around and dealt with the staff. I also arranged in advance to have a spot in the carpark as I'm a blue badge holder. At the time I was told there should be space, but there's plenty of parking on the street and would be able to park directly in front of the hotel if not. I contacted them on the day to ask where the car park is and they wouldn't tell me, saying to find somewhere on the street and that "Availability can be hit and miss, but there is usually a space available."

Wonderful hotel let down by tiny bedroom

First of all would like to say that the hotel is spotless, with a lovely bar and modern dining room. The staff are very helpful and friendly in fact we were upgraded to a sea view which was stunning. We parked in the free car park which is a rarity these days. However the size of our bedroom let it down. There was barely room to squeeze past the bed to get to the toilet for the person near the window. This is a big deal for elderly guests who need to access the toilet during the night. Younger guests may not find this a problem. In spite of this we would definitely re- visit this lovely hotel, just being a bit more selective about the type of room.

Small room, smelly bathroom

It was ok. I stayed for 1 night. The bathroom smelt of sewage and the room was small. If it wasn't for the little bonus of the smart TV so I could watch Netflix and Disney+ I would have put a wide review. Nice fan as well.

I had a lovely stay. The room was at the back so no sea views for me this time hence not 5* but very nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable with very nice ensuite bathroom. The staff are all lovely and welcoming making sure everyone is ok. There is a bar on the ground floor with seating area looking out onto the seafront. Thank you!

Lovely large bathroom.

Very glad that there was a lift. My single room was small but had all I needed. The shower was a really good size which made it easy to get into. There is a lounge with a lovely view of the sea. You can walk down to North Bay beach. The breakfast was extra but very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only problem is that there are steps from the street to the front door.

Great stay.

Staff fantastic. Small hiccup with payment due to new computer system. 3 floors, lift only goes to 2 floors so if you have mobility issue, let them know when you book. Car park is very tight- not the best. If you have a larger vehicle don’t expect to safely park up.
