Very hotel but has space and stair issues!

Hotel is beautiful, and clearly been refurbished recently. Our room looked very hi spec and the beds are comfortable - it was great to have a separate bedroom for the kids. However - our family room was on the third floor, with no lift. If we had known this we would not have booked. Trying to get a three year old and a ten month old up three steep flights of stairs, with all associated luggage l, buggy etc was not fun. Parking was also not clear - we drove around for a while looking for the hotel car park, or the on street parking as advertised but everywhere was restricted. We called several times whilst driving around to ask for instructions but no answer. It was only when we parked in a restricted zone out of desperation and ran into the hotel reception to ask for help did we discover that they had ‘disc’ parking cards for us to use. The room, while very nice and well decorated obviously had been designed with style over common sense - the entryway and the second bedroom with the bunk beds were cavernous with a lot of empty space - but the bathroom was absolutely tiny, with no surface space to put anything. For four people this was difficult! The sink was so small it was difficult to get the kettle under the tap to fill up! Why on earth they would leave metres of space in the bedroom and entry hall empty instead of building a bigger bathroom is beyond me. We would stay again - but only if guaranteed a ground floor room!

A pleasant hotel with a wonderful receptionist.

The gentleman at reception could not have been more helpful. A credit to the hotel. Breakfast choice was good. View wonderful. Only downside was as no outside door handle meant the "make up room" sign fell down and landed on "do not disturb" side and so room was not made up.

Room 22 great Sea views.

Great Hotel Ian and Gemma were both very helpful Ian even helping with our luggage from Car to room, Room very clean and sea views were amazing the only issue we had which might appear trivial to some was beautiful bathroom but no Towel rail so the only place to put your towels was on the loo seat also no toiletry shelf there was a low cupboard below the sink but for some bending so low down is not an option but all in all great staff and great environment well done to all.

Shiny and new, with a sea view too!

Amazing sea views from the newly completed Executive Sea View room. Everything looked brand new, because it was! Tastefully decorated and very comfortable. What could be better than waking up to the sound of waves lapping against the shore and view of the sea. The staff were also extremely welcoming and friendly.

I paid £190 for one night in what I thought would be a superior suite. This didn't include breakfast. I was shown a ground floor room with a view of the bins. Managed to change to a sea view on the third floor. Elevator only goes to floor 2 so stairs up another floor. My room was nice but there wasn't a chair to sit on. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was smalll but nice. No complaints really, but I think I paid too much for this room.

We would definitely stay here again

Friendly welcome at the bright and well decorated reception. Our room was on the third floor and the lift only reaches the second floor but that wasn’t a problem. Our room was bright, clean and had a great sea view. It was small but had everything we needed. We were here for the cricket. The result of the match could have been better but the location was pretty perfect.

one night weekend stay.

We stopped in the first floor sea view room for one night. I managed to park outside the hotel early in the morning and went to reception to see where the hotel car park was. I was given brief instructions where it was. I could not find a parking space and was disappointed the reception never made me aware I could purchase a parking card for the street. This caused me to pay £16 to park at the NCP carpark until the following day. The room was clean and comfortable. The sea and coastal view was excellent. I didn't have breakfast. I thought £15 a head was excessive. The location is good for walking to the south or north side and the town centre.

Disliked: Staff & service
I booked a double seaview room 6 months in advance, to arrive and be told they had overbooked. Initially they said I could have an upgrade and showed us to a suite, which was beautiful. Within 10 minutes the staff knocked to say they needed to move us to a different room but it was still an upgrade. We were shown to a tiny, ground floor room with a view onto what I can only describe as a building site. Half built fencing with black backing hanging off, bare dirt,ld this was unacceptable and not an upgrade, I was told it was, in fact, an upgrade because it was called an "executive room" (strangely not listed on the website as a room type). It was, in reality, a significant downgrade. When pressed for at least a partial refund, it was insisted that because it was "technically an upgrade" they couldn't offer any refund. As a result we cancelled the booking as £135 for one night in a stuffy box room with no view is an absolute rip off. We also missed our dinner booking because of the hour it took to be moved around and dealt with the staff. I also arranged in advance to have a spot in the carpark as I'm a blue badge holder. At the time I was told there should be space, but there's plenty of parking on the street and would be able to park directly in front of the hotel if not. I contacted them on the day to ask where the car park is and they wouldn't tell me, saying to find somewhere on the street and that "Availability can be hit and miss, but there is usually a space available."
