Enjoyed my stay here! Parking was round the back of the hotel and free :) Really friendly staff! The room was spacious and clean. The only thing i'll say, is if you want clean towels ect you need to physically go and ask. They didnt just go into the room without permission. I luckily had a sea view, which was stunning! Breakfast was lovely. (Full english) and juices and hot beverages available. Water pressure for the shower isnt the best, but works to have a quick wash! :) Overall, for the price ect i thought it was lovely and will be returning again!

Lovely Seaview and good location
Staff very welcoming. Some public areas, hall, stairs reception in need of updating. Bedroom and bathroom very clean, although furniture a bit tired. Very comfortable bed. Full English breakfast was lovely. Freshly cooked and arrived hot. Although would have liked to have had the choice of brown bread. Overall good value for money.

Comfortable stay, close to the town
Good value for money, the hotel does need updating but I’m not complaining as our stay was comfortable. The shower wasn’t great and the bathroom very small but the bedroom was a good size. Breakfast was excellent. The tv in the room wasn’t great as there was no “live tv” I had to log into the iPlayer to watch anything. We did get free parking round the back. The hotel was placed in an excellent position for the town.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Esplanade Hotel was reasonably priced, with a sea view from our window. Breakfast included, but would've been better if there had been a fridge in our room, a balcony, disabled access to a room with a bath and air conditioning. Staff very polite and accommodating. Thank you for our stay! Room 27

We had a large room with a sea view and a nice full English breakfast in the morning... shower was a bit small and could do with a shelf in the bathroom...The Hotel is very close to the pier,amusements and shops.
