I had room onlly, shower, TV and free WiFi/shower

I think the place was under renovation. It was room only, however in its day it looked as if it had been a decent seaside family hotel. There had been a bar, a dining area and no doubt there had been a restaurant

2 star Hotel for a reason.

Wasn't expecting much from a 2⭐️ hotel, as only needed a room for the night. Shower was leaking slightly, bathroom floor was wet in front of the shower enclosure, toilet seat was broken, heated taul rail was old and dirty. Room windows and tv screen were very dirty. One of the beds wobbled side to side.

If hygiene is something you really enjoy, then don't stay here. If you are not to fussy it is fine. Great location. The TV works and it is very cheap.

The location was good. The host was lovely but the hotel itself was shabby and dated. The tv didnt work, the shower was dirty. I always strip the bedding when i leave a hotel and the duvet was dirty inside. The bar was closed and i certainly wouldnt want to eat in the restaurant. For the price, you get what you pay for but i wouldnt visit again.

The room door code was more convenient thsn a key or card. However staff were initially hard to find on checking in. Creaky floorboards in the corridors meant that noise was heard everytime people walked past the door. Room was clean and functional

Right on the sea front and very close to all the seaside amenities. Ali was very helpful and hospitable - nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were clean and tidy and fairly standard for a seaside hotel. The hotel is in the process of being done up and the staff were keen for us to be satisfied with our stay. Any tiny concerns were very quickly sorted.

Great but no room replenishment/cleaning

No one tended our rooms during the stay - e.g. for replenishment of milk/tea/coffee or cleaning cups and towels etc and staff were hard to find and seemed clueless when we requested these things. We had to take our own rubbish to the bins. Otherwise, fantastic price, comfy beds, sea view and air conditioning (not sure if it works because we had no cause to use it). We were even called prior to checking in to ensure we were going to, which is good of them (was at the pub). Would stay again despite the overall small negatives.

We didn’t even stay in the hotel that we’d paid for, the carpets were filthy, no meals to eat in hotel,charged us for parking and it said it was for free. Bed linen was fiilfy, shower didn’t work properly, wanted to get another hotel but we didn’t want to leave the room. Didn’t go out to get food as we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to get back in and fry isn’t feel it was safe enough to leave our luggage
