The breakfasts were to die for and reasonably priced too, on street parking near by, staff were all very polite and friendly
The staff and view were lovely. Im so glad the hotel had a lift. Food was decent, and its in a quite nice location from the sea and the train station.
The bed was amazingly comfortable and sturdier than it looks which is a wonderfully pleasant surprise especially for a plus size person.
I very much enjoyed my stay. Thank you 😊
Not too far from train station & sea front . Hospitality is good and food also. Nice room bar & dining area

Overall hotel was clean but needs updating, bit of TLC. Room was clean, had to ask for bin to be emptied but wasn't done, bit short staffed but the ones that were on duty were good and helpful, we had to pay for breakfast, which was not a problem considering the cost of the accommodation, really good choice of breakfast and well
priced, parking was a bit hit and miss, disc parking which was fine providing there was a space available.
Overall a good stay I don't expect a 5* hotel at 2* prices.
in the middle of renovation i think as scaffolding outside but no work started early which is good. very quiet area ten minutes walk from town centre and 25 from beach so ideal location. stayed before and qill again great price also
Nice little place, allows pets got a restaurant, bar and lounge, lift for disabled

Staff nice and friendly but my room was old- fashioned and in need of renovation, like the hotel exterior. But cheap and clean. Overall, not bad.

Cheap and cheerful
Nice hotel but in need of t l v lovely thick bath towels and the breakfast is fabulous all in all for that I paid for the hotel I can't complain about the hotel I would come back but to be honest it's only because of the price and lastly the house keeper could visit more often
Every thing was fine, staff were friendly and helpful rooms are clean, bed comfy but parking can be a problem.

The staff were satisfactory. Local staff who were helpful.
Perfect location and a good rate.
The building is old. Access for disabled is poor, which they acknowledge. They are working on improving this. In the meantime, book elsewhere if you have mobility issues.
Public areas are very dated, but clean. Available food although freshly prepared and competitively priced was not inspiring - eat elsewhere for your holiday treats.
Room was clean, but nothing special.
Overall a typical coastal hotel, dated and worn and in need of a makeover.
Would I stay again? Yes, but with reservations - eat elsewhere.
