Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel was cleaned and comfortable, however the music really loud up further than 00.00am. No way to sleep without earplugs. We were not aware at all about the hotel charged 8£ for parking every day. When we arrived they said that they will charge 8£ because we booked the hotel with Expedia. However, when we left the hotel the last day they said that they will charge 8£ per day because the parking. They didn't mention that at all the first day, that we would be charged every day 8£ for the parking, they said that it was because we booked the hotel with Expedia.

Central location but old hotel with a nightclub
The hotel is in a great location, very close to the beach and shops. Parking is okay, although the car park is quite small and is on a first come, first serve basis. However, there is a car park opposite the hotel. The hotel staff were helpful and attentive and breakfast was average. The major downside is the hotel is tired and dated. Which is not a problem if you just want a bed for the night after a long day on the beach, but it is in need of refurbishment. The hotel is a nightclub at the weekend and the music is loud. It didn’t disturb me, as I was on the top floor, but other members of my family didn’t have a good sleep. Air plugs were given out by the reception staff, but the music was loud.

Great comfortable rest
When i arrived the young lady in reception was very professional and helped me with a couple of small problems there was not a USB socket in the room, she kindly found a plug and the TV was not working so she found me another room. Room was very comfortable and very clean. Maybe a bit dated but very much to my taste. The breakdast was probably the best i have ever had in any establishment i have stayed in superb. The only problem i had was when i was leaving the your hotel the chap in reception told me i had a outstanding bill to pay for the car park , i told him tat it was all included in my deal . He was quite abrupt said who told you that . I am the sort of person i want to know about these type of things when i arrive NOT as i am leaving.

Find out about the noisy bar and nightclub
After booking and paying, the hotel sent me an email saying they couldn't guarantee a quiet stay as the on site bar has live music until 1am and the on site nightclub has a DJ until 2am. This made it completely unsuitable for me. The hotel clearly believes it needs to pass on this information before guests arrive but also chooses to conceal it until the guests have booked and paid. I replied to the email from the hotel but received no response. So they pocketed my money while I had to pay out a second time for alternative arrangements. Best avoided with this sort of attitude to customers.
