I refused to stay, it was so poor at this hotel. I left after a few hours. From the very beginning the valet parking was a joke and the cars were backed up into the main road, causing a traffic jam. online check-in is a pointless as it takes just as long to check in. My room was so far up in what felt like Rapunzel's tower and you could feel the cold and damp the higher up you got. I would hazard a guess that these may have been the staff quarters last century. It felt like you weren't part of the hotel. On my way up I saw a couple of ladies and they were on their way down to complain about damp. Then when I went down to ask about the heating as my room was freezing, I passed a couple trying to climb to the 'tower' with a wheelchair, and the lady, who was disabled desperately trying to walk up the stairs. They said they had told them on the booking about having a disability. I was told the heating only comes on 4pm-10pm and they don't provide heaters, but that I could have some blankets. The patronising manager who came to bleed the radiator in my room, simply wouldn't except that I was very unhappy with being in a cold room with no heating past 10pm. He did nothing to validate my complaint. I ran the water in the sink and saw bits in the sink, I cleaned the sink, but when I ran it again the same thing happened, I tried the bath, same again. Clearly dodgy old pipes, I'm contemplating the water board. Thankfully I hadn't drank any, I'm worried about Legionnaire's.

Old Fashioned Hotel. Gardens. Right by the sea and close to the City Centre. Very good water pressure for shower. Had small double room which was fine as only there to sleep. A long walk to get to lift for my room. Charge £5 extra a day to use the pool. Exceptional service - best I've ever experienced. Stayed an extra night I was so comfortable there. Thank you.

Great location, for a seaside treat

When we went to check in the lady wasn’t very welcoming. She asked for my ID and gave me my room key. I said we had dinner and breakfast included so asked what are the times and where do we go. She told us all the information was in the room and the menu goes on the wall at 5pm. Our room was lovely, a little bit dated but very clean and view was beautiful. Only major downside was room for hot so kept the window open but as it’s on a main road was constant traffic noise. The info pack in the room showed food being served till 11pm however this wasn’t the case as when we returned at 9:30 after the theatre we were told no food served after 8:30! We said we had dinner included and could we get anything the receptionist told us to talk to the manager in the morning and then turned her back to speak to her colleague! Breakfast was self service buffet and food was plentiful and hot. Upon walking in staff ignored us and it was us approaching and asking do we just take a seat ?? Overall location was fantastic, bed was comfy, breakfast was good the main thing letting down this hotel is the staff. The cleaners were very nice, friendly and welcoming but the reception and restaurant staff we encountered were unfriendly and unbothered.

The hotel needs some work. There was barely any hot water in the room. The water was just warm enough to take a shower but barely.. you have to pay an extra fee to use the pool and the hot tub and the hot tub was only about 30°. The rooms were uncomfortable, very dated. Not dated in a charming way but more dated in a needs an upgrade.
