So it's a budget hotel and that's okay... I've stayed before so knew that in advance and last time was fine. But this time was very bad. Basically a number of basic things wrong. Shower didn't work, i.e. I couldn't move the plunger from bath to shower head. When I did then water went everywhere. Then I found there was no hot water (night or morning) and was just running cold. Plus the shower gel and hand wash bottle were empty. Also the room was 13.5c when I got in and the heater wouldn't stay on. So I had to give up with heat. I was staying to get the Le Shuttle early the next morning, so I didn't need anything fancy. Sadly it was a terrible night sleep in the cold and no shower the next morning. I told a member of staff the next day and they were a bit disinterested. He said 'you should have asked as we have some shower gel here somewhere' - totally missed the point. Anyway, I sent the hotel a note to see if they would put it right and nothing came back. So seems like they don't really care which is a shame.

This is a good 2 star hotel. If you go in expecting more than a 2 star then you will be disappointed. The only negative I would say is that there was a private event on so we were in the bar area for the entertainment. Limited seating for the size of hotel when the big hall is shut for an event night.

Having stayed here numerous times before we weren’t as happy as usual the room was very dated and the corridor had a very pungent smell of cigarette smoke. We will definitely pay the extra to upgrade the room as we have never had a problem before when having the Seaview Double Rooms

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is dated but comfortable,clean and great value for money. It is situated right in the hub of the harbour and close to the old town and shops. We've stayed here a couple of times and will definitely be coming,back. Theres great entertainment daily and a real feel of that holiday feeling .

The Staff is great! Su was amazing! They have great happy hour! :-) I completely recommend it, the rooms with balcony have an amazing view!! The only thing I will recommend to the hotel is to care bit more of the cleanness. The cleaning lady's are great people but they need to do the cleaning bit better. If gets better cleaning I will give an extra star.

The room was far from clean. The bath has what looked like pubic hair all around the edges and that was the same for the other room in our party. There was also stuff that hadn't been hoovered up around bed legs, dunno what that was. Wasn't expecting luxury for the price but was expecting it to be clean

I have stayed in worse but not worse. Decor is dated and clearly in need of a complete refurbishment, I suspect because of the class of the majority of the clientele this will not happen. My parents used to come here 40 years ago for booze cruise weekends and I doubt whether anything has changed in that time.
