This must be the worst, coldest, dirtiest disgusting place i have ever stayed. I was on the ground floor and did not leave my room for more than 5 minutes a time in case of getting burgled. There was a dirty tampax outside my bedroom window and it was just the pits. No matter how many hours without sleep or flights missed would i ever stay here again!!!!

Do not stay here!

Dirty, shabby mattresses and pillows. Stank so much, kept me awake. TV remote broken. No soap. Couldn't park cos full up. Room still uncleaned on checking in at 3.40pm. Would never stay here again. Hotels.com should remove this place from its listings!

Hen party

Cannot fault our stay, was perfect location, next to the train station and walking distance to the bars. We had the 11 bed room for 8 of us celebrating a friends hen do, there were 2 private bathrooms within the room which was enough for us. Would stay again if was a big group.

We Paid top price for a basic room

We Paid top price for this room which was basic, it was supposed to be a double room, instead it had a bunk bed and two single beds, there was no hot water for the wash basin and the light above the basin did not work. the room was on the ground floor and had frosted windows, no view. There was basic tea making facility, no biscuits. There was WiFi but we could not use it as they did not give details of the access code. We had to go to the hotel next door to check in, they could'tn be bothered to show us the room and there was not enough space to park our car. We had to leave it in the street a good 5 minutes walk away. There was no food option or breakfast. The only plus point was the Shower worked OK. Over all we were very disappointed as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and had planned a special weekend away, for the price we paid (£118) I expected a top rated room with Breakfast included.

Hotel close to beach and shops

We had a nice stay at the hotel, it was very close to the shops so we had no problems getting stuff that we needed. The hotel is also very close to beach and not far from the city centre. There was a bit of problems with parking as someone might park to block you in but the good thing is you could easily knock on people's door to ask them to move their car so you can have a chance to move your own car.

Only bed no breakfast

This is a place to sleep only. The hotel next door is where the owner is. Its not got any staff in you have to go next door. I found the owner of both the hotel and this place to sleep very abrasive. The room was very basic no toilet in the room it was in they were on the landing. bed was far to hard like most places I stay. I paid extra for breakfast in the hotel next door £5.00 which was really good. £25 per night plus £5.00 breakfast. £30 is cheap.

Dirty hotel with extremely violent owner.

This hotel should not be even listed here. We came there with children for long weekend and our holiday was totally ruined. The place was dirty and smelly. Showers were not suitable for children as the rest of the facilities. Do not expect to use your car there as it will be blocked in tiny driveway. Very very noisy environment with drunk people. The hotel does not have it`s own reception so you have to ring the bell of their "sister" hotel to get a key. All this time you will wait outside on street with children by your side. It worth to say that the owner is very rude and agressive. Due to his violent behavior we had to call the police and leave this place with 3 crying children. I would not recommend this place even to my worst enemy.
