Staff were all very good, friendly, polite and helpful. The communal areas of the hotel are very nice in the main though the rooms are tired and in need of an update. Our room was though very comfortable. Our first room had an issue with the locking mechanism

Rain water leaking through the window, off the windowsill and onto the radiatior and floor below. Staff must have known about the issue as there was a towel already set up on the windowsil soaking up rain water. I requested to move room which they did promptly. Had to wait 5+ minutes at the bar as no one around, the person in front of me waited 10 minutes. They served the person behind me first. The food arrived and a chef came over after my food had been served and asked to take a photo of my plate as they were a trainee chef - very odd. I tried to have a shower at 6.30am and the water was stone cold. I informed reception and they said i had to leave the shower running for 10 minutes before hot water comes through. All in all, a very unrelaxing stay.

The breakfast wasn’t particularly warm, but the room was too warm. The hotel is looking a bit “tired” in places but it was conveniently placed and the parking was good. The staff we dealt with were all friendly. You could have more Gluten Free options on the menu.

Great for one or two nights

The breakfast was decent (eggs rubbery however), but a great selection. The room was clean, with two bathrooms (one disabled access and one without). There was people running up and down corridors at one point at night and slamming doors and knocking, on the upstairs floor. but the reception didn’t answer when I called down (unless they were sorting the culprits out as it did stop eventually) Bar area looked nice. We didn’t sit in it however but looked decent. The person on reception was really nice. The outside of the hotel doesn’t look appealing I’ll be honest, but it’s fine once you walk in. Car parking free once you validate your registration.

Good value.

Good value and comfortable. Exterior could do with modernising but interior more than makes up for it.

No pool. Good enough stay

From the outside this hotel looks a little sad and inside there was some nice elements. The public area furniture for example. Dont be fooled there is NO pool although advertised and hasnt been for a long time. Service was friendly and the breakfast plentiful and we recommend booking ahead for £7pp on Hotels.com as its double at the hotel. Bed was comfortable and room basic but clean. Overall, ok price for an ok hotel.

Happy visitor!

Room booked via hotels.com did not exist but the hotel found a room that suited and were most helpful. Hotel still being renovated but room fresh and clean and new bathroom. Lovely entrance and public area. Overlooking the sea.

Dont be thrown off by the dodgy exterior! The inside is lovely! Staff are great. Food is yummy. Just across the street from the beach, adventure park, and there is a movie theater next door. Would stay here again for sure!
