The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. Hotel was in a great location, right on the beach! The amenities weren’t as advertised. The snooker table couldn’t be used as the cues were broken as were the pockets. Also didn’t see any sign of any board games unless I was looking in the wrong place, but they weren’t obvious! The room although clean and tidy was very small. You couldn’t easily bend down in the shower cubicle. Also I couldn’t get the soap dispensers to work. The sink in the bathroom was also too small and the shelf was in the way!! You couldn’t put water in your face without water going on the floor!"

"Lovely, spacious rooms, environment considered (no silly plastic cups/shower caps). I saw the pool and jacuzzi water being tested twice whilst we were there. Only thing was that we had to pay for parking, but that was because we booked with a third party. Book with hotel. Breakfast lovely, maybe a few more pastry/bread choices needed."
