Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was basic, but clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful (the bearded gentleman on reception helped me connect to hotel WiFi). The room was also cleaned promptly and towels changed. The walls were rather thin, and I was disappointed that, out of season, with the hotel obviously not very full, they put a father and son in the room next to mine. The child was quite noisy and boisterous, so there was a lot of banging (he was probably hyped up on sugar, since they'd brought McDonald's meals back to their room). The bathroom had a good, powerful shower. The toilet had rather a weak flush and didn't cope well with toilet paper. They really let themselves down with the breakfasts. The first morning I had the full English, which was lukewarm, with tasteless mushrooms and half a pale tomato. The toast was barely toasted - I would say it was like warm bread, but it wasn't warm either. The second morning I had a ham and cheese omelette, which was overcooked, very salty, with cheap cheese. It's not bad for the price, but if I stayed again I'd book a room without breakfast.
