The hotel was fine, shame there was no lift. Breakfast was hot and lots of choice and a bonus it was included in the price. I would use this hotel again as it’s situated near a park and the beach and entertainment.

Happy

Stayed in the Annex as disabled family room was required and could not have asked for more. Spacious comfortable and had all the requirements that were needed for our wheelchair user. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was warm and clean with comfortable beds. Breakfast was lovely too.

Linda

Staff were excellent - very friendly - but bed very uncomfortable/bits of biscuits under both sides of the bed/had to put towel under tap as it wouldn’t stop dripping/looked like blood on the carpet - shabby paintwork/carpets etc/restaurant and food lovely so were the staff again - but upstairs needs renovating - felt like a contractors hotel rather than a seaside stay hotel. Views nice out to sea and the river. Wasn’t expensive but don’t think we’ll stay again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The area around the hotel was great, everything was super close and the beach being outside was amazing but the condition of our room was so so poor. The wallpaper was hanging off the wall, the dressing table was barely standing up, the floors were super dirty so it overall felt super run down and unclean
