This hotel is in a fantastic location but definitely is needing its upgrade. It’s very tired. The room itself was ok spacious and clean and with a lovely sea view. The staff were very nice once you spoke to them but I actually found it quite uninviting. The breakfast food was nice but definitely could do with being better run. Will visit again after it’s refurb and hopefully more staff training.

Have stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions an have been pleased with the outcome. Little things are now getting a little dated e.g shower curtain(?), stains on bath silicone seal and no USB charging sockets. Location is good together with parking but price appears to have increased and the breakfast is not as good compared to previous visits.

Spacious room with a lovely lookout over the sea front and view of Herd Goyne. Bed mattresses weren’t the most comfortable, maybe time for replacing. Weather was very hot during our stay and the room was warm, but reception provided a fan on request which helped. Great location with an easy walk along the beach promenade to the Marine Park and Ocean Road. Plentiful and easy parking.

Great location and free parking. Room was a good size and clean with a great view, although decor & furniture a little dated. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful, but not enough on duty, especially late evening at the bar. Breakfast was good and plenty to choose from. Would stay again if in the area

It's a very nice hotel with plenty of charm and a really nice location. Cruise ships and other large ships come right past and it's not far of a walk to the main beach area and Pleasure Beach and was nice and quiet for our stay. Hard to fault the hotel in general. Breakfast was very nice as well. Staff were friendly. The rooms were roomy and looked nice but unfortunately the pieces didn't add up to what I had hoped for. It was a hot weekend and fortunately quiet so we could have the window open as no AC or fan included. The bed was very springy. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt springs in a bed and each side of the bed had a different level of padding. There was no hair dryer. The remote control only half-worked, I had to use the volume buttons on the back of the TV. So just think with a bit of an update it could be a really great stay.

Staff were helpful and polite. The room was clean, with an excellent view. But the bed was not very comfortable, and the heating was not brilliant. The fixtures and fittings were worn and dated. Breakfast was ok, but could do with a decent coffee machine as you would find in similar setups. So in short, a potentially lovely place that just needs investment to upgrade it.

Room was dated and needs refurbishing. Cracked floor tiles damaged bath panel rust on towel rail etc. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve slept in, you could feel the springs and it was hard. The wall sockets only worked when the lights were on, handy if you wanted to charge anything overnight. Really poor experience.
