superb breakfast great location helpful staff dated hotel peeling wallpaper dirty windows

the breakfast was superb and there was plenty of choice (i especially liked the variety of cereals!). the location was just what i wanted, it was quiet, but handy for getting out and about. the staff were so helpful and cute, i really enjoyed every bit of my stay and will be back, i'm sure.

first impression was the hotel looked more dated than it did on the photos. the room could do with redecoration, the wallpaper was peeling off, the windows were dirty. the en-suite needed a good clean, i saw dusty and dead spiders on the floor by the skirting boards.

The hotel is a few minutes walk south of the pleasure beach. This is a quieter area, which I liked. A tram stop is also conveniently located across from the hotel.

decent stay with some drawbacks

cooked breakfast helpful staff convenient location dated room small tv low pressure

the breakfast was really good, especially the cooked options (i enjoyed the sausages!). the staff were friendly and always ready to help with any questions i had. the location was also convenient, a short walk to the promenade. parking spaces on the hotel were really helpful.

The room i stayed in felt quite dated, the wallpaper was peeling in places. the tv was quite small and the signal wasn't very strong. the shower had low water pressure. It made showering a bit of a chore.

Wonderful Stay with a Sea View

spacious room clean room sea view

It included a double bed and two single beds (perfect for families!). The lovely sea view was a bonus. I found having on-site parking very convenient.

The decor seemed a little dated and could use some updating.
