A great hotel, though dated
It is what it is. Fabulous hotel with amazing views. Communal areas have so much history. Drinks are very expensive, but it’s what you’d expect in a hotel. The rooms are dated, but very comfortable and perfectly adequate. Good value for money!
Only one complaint, had to queue for over 30 minutes to book in and get key. Other than that a great stay!

Tired and worn hotel
The hotel is really tired, the furniture is old and worn. Then again, this reflects in the cost of the room which was appropriate.

Accept it for what it is - cheap
This is a cheap scummy hotel which has seen better days (about 100years ago)
It is very cheap and so it should be judged as such and for what it is it is very good value.
We had a see view room, in a low floor, as requested and probably the best hotel view out of any hotel I have ever stayed at.
Dog friendly (which was a major reason to stay here) and car parking immediately outside, which is very good for a seaside resort.
Would definitely return - £49 for Sunday and £44 for a Monday - though I did upgrade to having a window .
£10 / night extra for a dog wi=hich is also great value.

Good enough for a night.
The room on the 6th (top) floor was comfortable enough for one night, decent bed and bath. However, bath plug got stuck and took a while to get it out following a bath. Also, the windows are not very well insulated so there is a lot, lots, lots of wind noise as well as seagulls which could also be heard. I guess that's because of the age of the hotel. I think it probably does need a bit of modernizing but that's rather costly?

Disgusting room 536
I am well travelled and this is the most disgusting room I’ve ever stayed in. How any hotelier thinks the room is acceptable please see the pictures.
The room smelt strange the wallpaper was hanging off the walls. Damp patches everywhere. Furniture hanging off the wall. Please contact the hotel and request a refund

Parking was a large issue outside the hotel. Many guest had parking tickets over the weekend, Police were at the hotel on 2 of the 3 nights i stayed there dealing with issues at the door way. Great views from then terrace though and room of the sea, restaurant prices were very reasonable. Very close to the beach and town.
