Suprised by how it looked inside , not run down like thought . Room's were nice enough but sea view rooms are not that great due to the filthiness off the windows outside due to seagulls and becsuse of single pane windows kept us awake all night . The entertainment room is a bit outdated and the lift and stairs also . If it wasnt for the seagulls i think it would of been a pleasant stay and would there again due to the location

Absolutely terrible stay will never stay again we came to stay for my 40th birthday this was our first stay and will be our last we checked in quite late as we arrived late we entered our room and it was so hot we thought the heating had been on it was unbearably hot we had one window which opened about 4 cm so didn’t make any difference whatsoever I went down to reception to report the heat problem to be told that they would provide another fan which never got brought to us we used the one fan provided which made absolutely no difference as it was just circulating hot air me and my partner wanted to leave but was unable to afford another hotel we checked out at 6am after having maximum an hours sleep all night the receptionist didn’t even ask how our stay was or thank us she was particularly rude me and my partner spend my 40th birthday night too and tailing as it was so hot in the room we couldn’t even sleep next to each other it completely ruined my birthday we had seen the hotel on tv and presumed it would be a good hotel to say we were disappointed was an understatement would not recommend and certainly would never ever stay there again it was terrible

Absolutely shocking. Booked a standard double no window upgraded when we were there to a ‘CIty room’ as that’s all that was offered to us nothing else so I paid £20 extra when arriving. I informed the hotel on email a day before arriving I had 2 kids with us and explained 1 is sharing the bed with us and 1 in a travel cot which we provided. When arriving we checked into our room which was no bigger than a tiny box room so we had went and spoke to reception which we were told we ‘only’ upgraded to a city double. I had explained we were only offered that and nothing else and had already told the receptionist. They then give us another room when I arrived into the room it was 2 twin beds when I had already explained 2 previous times that my daughter was stopping in a bed with us. They then proceeded to argue even though we had proof of us informing them via email we got put into another room and by that point I was really sick of going downstairs so just slept in it. But was like sleeping on a brick was the worst experience I’ve ever had in a hotel. Don’t waste your money.

The room we were allocated had a bathroom door that had been badly damaged and the lock and handle was hanging off,so it would not close. When they tried to repair it the wood dust was over the floor. They moved is to another room which had a badly cracked shower tray. Windows were filthy and nesting seagulls kept us awake most of the night. Staff on the desk pleasant but understand the failures of the building. I was only one of several asking move rooms.
