For a fairly budget hotel I cannot fault my stay. Room cleaned daily and kept clean to good standard. Shower head being very small with little water flow my only low rating. Hotel is not modernised but old wardrobes in room adds to charm. I would definitely stay again when down for stay with work

Couldnt fault the staff or cleanliness. I can only comment on the room i stayed in which i would say was very tired, i could feel the springs in my matress and furnishings were pretty worn like laminate missing on wardrobes and drawers and expanding foam sticking out everywhere on outside of window. Oh and you can only connect to the wi-fi in the reception area which was a slight inconvenience for me however despite this i probably would stay again.

Weekend stay.

Our stay was pleasant as although the hotel is a bit dated, the rooms are very clean and the beds extremely comfortable. It is right by the pier and we had sea views. Parking on the road was a bit problematic as it was the weekend. The staff are all very friendly with special mention to Adil.
