Disappointing start

We arrived at 1450 to find our room not ready. This was not a problem as we were slightly early. I was advised it would be ready in ten minutes. We went to the bar and purchased two drinks We returned at 1520 to be told our room was still not ready. We hovered at reception hoping to get into our room. . A different room was offered to us , which was accepted as it was then five hours after leaving our home. It didn’t feel like a good start .If the cost of the drinks were reimbursed it would have gone some way to appease us

Old facade, but rooms have been refurbished to a good standard. The rest of the interior has retained some of its 1920's charm. Staff are helpful and hotel is well positioned with wonderful sea views. Beware that if you book through Expedia parking at the hotel is not free. I would in future book direct as the hotel will match the Expedia price and you can take advantage of the free parking which saves £12 a day.

Avoid this hotel like the plague! Very old dated decor & furnishings throughout. Not a 4 star hotel - max 2.5. I booked a single room and ended up on the 4th floor, no air con. My friend on the 2nd floor had air con. I had paid more. I was brought a filthy, noisy, fan to use. The room stank of cigarette smoke and the carpets were rank. At breakfast there was no member of staff at the entrance (I appreciate this can happen) so I walked in. Five minutes later a waiter approached me with a payment machine and said 'how would you like to pay?' I had prepaid breakfast so this was incredibly rude. I should have been asked for my room number. Staff at the bar are very slow to serve guests but helpful once they do. There is an assumption at this hotel that guests will smash up the room and not pay for things. The manager actually said as much to me when I checked in. I would not recommend this hotel despite the sea location and pool.

The pool is lovely, but the lack of parasols an issue. Pillows were very hard, so I slept badly. The room that I thought I’d chosen on the Expedia website was not the one that I got given. You advertise a sea view. Please be more honest. as I had a wall view- but at least the room was quiet!!

Quick and efficient check in

The check-in was quick and efficient and the lobby/lounges and bars all looked very good on arrival. The rooms were smaller than we expected and not much space, possibly removing either desk or table as we did not need both, rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming and even arranged a birthday greeting for one of our party, which was very thoughtful and was appreciated. Only thing we were disappointed with was the sofas in the lounge areas were very low and uncomfortable and all of the guests were struggling to get up out of them, other than that we had a very enjoyable stay

Excellent food, a few bits of renovation needed

Have stayed here quite a few times now and as usual the staff were efficient and the food in mirabelle restaurant excellent although a bit less choice at breakfast than previously- ie fresh fruit, yoghurt selection. Stair carpet needs replacing as very worn in places, covered by black tape and lounge furniture tatty although still comfortable. Would happily return though

Air conditioning is amazing beds very comfortable but had to check out on the 2nd night at 11pm due to the noise level from a function on & we were right above it! So really spoiled it, no rooms to change was offered! Not good when you have an autistic child with you and had to drive home which was a 3hour drive!

The rooms were very comfortable and clean but i feel the landings and the stairs could do with updating. Carpets look old and worn and carpets are not the most hygienic. The pools were cold and the areas around the changing rooms could have been cleaner. Also more lockers are needed in the sister hotel for users of Sauna and indoor swimming pool. Also was not too happy that we had to pay more for the car park particularly when the space is not guaranteed. I felt like once i found a parking spot i could not take my car out again as i would not have been able to get a parking space upon return. Overall we were happy with our stay it was a great location. The customer service was good. If they can improve on the issues mentioned above it would be great
