Pubic hair in the fridge

Worst hotel we have ever stayed at. I am travelling with work and private staying at hotels 2-3 times a month, so I have stayed at many different places and this was by far the worst one I stayed at. The bed was horrible and the pillow felt like they have put a bunch of socks in it and everything was dirty and wonky. In the fridge there was a pubic hair and yellow/brown stains, how the hell did the hair get there? Avoid at all cost!

Best Hotel Ever. Give Shaji a raise

Big up Shaji bro. It was amazing as always. The mattress was a bit smaller than the bed and there was a dirty fork but don’t worry we cleaned it for you! We shall come to stay again very soon. Thankyou for the room upgrade :) The bed was very comfy

It was okay for a short cheap stay. However, it was not very clean, or looked like the pictures and it was extremely small. There was no staff, so it was easy to check in/out.

I wouldn't leave booking a room till the last minute ever again, especially during the busiest bank holiday weekend - so this wasn't great value, in the basement with people looking in while walking past, and smelling rather damp. However, the location is very convenient, the room was clean and the staff pleasant and helpful.

This property was a 10 min walk to the beach which was great. When we got into the room there was a leaflet which told us the wifi and amenities around. There was a double bed made the only thing I would suggest is more pillows there was only two but this would depend on people’s preferences. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Not bad

On arrival, i needed a parking permit so i called the number on front door, the men were kind and helpful. The room was very basic and could do with a deep clean but done the job. Thank you 😊 not a bad review.

Warming run

Absolutely awful…the room was small which was ok, the bathroom was shocking as we discovered a plume of pubic hair in shower sinkhole. The cooker didn’t work which we found out after buying some shopping.The iron was unsafe as plug cover came off exposing wires. Very dissatisfied and disappointed.would not recommend staying here unless you want to experience what is like to live in a hostel for homeless.

It feels safe and has good working facilities but the dumpsters right out the front make the street really dirty. Only a 20 minute walk from the train station and close to the beach and a nice walk to the lanes and town centre. I would say that the rooms are very minimalist and don’t look much like the pictures but they have everything you would need for a weekend stay.
