Old Fashioned Hotel. Gardens. Right by the sea and close to the City Centre. Very good water pressure for shower. Had small double room which was fine as only there to sleep. A long walk to get to lift for my room. Charge £5 extra a day to use the pool. Exceptional service - best I've ever experienced. Stayed an extra night I was so comfortable there. Thank you.

Great location, for a seaside treat

When we went to check in the lady wasn’t very welcoming. She asked for my ID and gave me my room key. I said we had dinner and breakfast included so asked what are the times and where do we go. She told us all the information was in the room and the menu goes on the wall at 5pm. Our room was lovely, a little bit dated but very clean and view was beautiful. Only major downside was room for hot so kept the window open but as it’s on a main road was constant traffic noise. The info pack in the room showed food being served till 11pm however this wasn’t the case as when we returned at 9:30 after the theatre we were told no food served after 8:30! We said we had dinner included and could we get anything the receptionist told us to talk to the manager in the morning and then turned her back to speak to her colleague! Breakfast was self service buffet and food was plentiful and hot. Upon walking in staff ignored us and it was us approaching and asking do we just take a seat ?? Overall location was fantastic, bed was comfy, breakfast was good the main thing letting down this hotel is the staff. The cleaners were very nice, friendly and welcoming but the reception and restaurant staff we encountered were unfriendly and unbothered.

Booked hotel as said Dog Friendly as visiting son who’s at Uni there. But dogs are not allowed in bar and we were very restricted what parts of the hotel we could go. I’ll be booking a different “Dog Friendly” pub on our next visit

Reception staff unhelpful and directions to our room were terrible! As our room was in another wing, it could have saved us 15 minutes if this could have been explained. We bumped into another couple in the lift later who had same issue!

The hotel needs some work. There was barely any hot water in the room. The water was just warm enough to take a shower but barely.. you have to pay an extra fee to use the pool and the hot tub and the hot tub was only about 30°. The rooms were uncomfortable, very dated. Not dated in a charming way but more dated in a needs an upgrade.

Adequate

The hotel was a bit tired. Service was adequate. The room was adequate, but very noisy and the bed was uncomfortable. The room decor was tired and a bit shabby and the facilities were not great - my room had no hairdryer. Overall, would not recommend for the price (which didn't include breakfast, either).
