    Good value, would use it again if in the area.

    The smell of marijuana around the entrance and the side of the building was not a pleasant introduction to the property.

    A perfectly acceptable hotel, it was good value and wouldn't have a problem staying there again.

    A bit tired in need of some redecorating. Curtains shabby and room very warm all the time so night time it was a bit too warm for us even with the window open at end of April.

    Very good place to stay staff friendly

    Corridors and room doors had very tired appearance although signs indicated that upgrade works are underway. Disappointed by the view out of the window.

    Comfortable room with the hotel facing the sea front. Good breakfast selection.

    Building looks very tired on the outside although the inside was surprisingly good. Struggled to get hot water in the shower, had to leave taps running for 10 minutes before water started to warm. The restaurant was closed which was disappointing as this was not stated anywhere. Had to chase down menus at the bar surely these could be readily available? Also this is in April and cold, rooms too hot and needed window open all night. For a Best Western it was not up to their usual standard but also appreciate it is off season.

    Had electric car charging which was a nice surprise. Easy to access and lots of parking.

    The exterior looks awful! Not the greatest of introductions to the hotel. Looks like an old council building that’s been condemned. Extra charge for dog which wasn’t clear.

    Big, comfy rooms, nice staff, next to beach.

    The hotel was absolutely amazing, the exterior don't match the interior which is amazing. The outside looks like it needs updating looks like council block from "only fools and horses"but the inside is a classy hotel the staff are attentive. Can't comment on breakfast as I choose not to eat but the bed was comfortable amazing high quality nice big TV.. room with a view that's is priceless... exceptional clean

    I was appalled by the dinner arrangements. Dinner was served in the bar where guests had GB news and Nigel Farage inflicted on them while they ate. Guests should not have to listen to biased extremist right wing propaganda and my opinion of Best western (and my likelihood of returning to this hotel chain) has reduced as a result of this situation

    room was clean and well appointed. Breakfasts in the restaurant were very tasty and quickly served

    The hotel needs a bit more love in terms of the condition & finish of the corridors e.g. doors and the room decoration which are showing their age.

    Very pleasant reception, lounge and bar area and decent breakfast provided. Comfortable beds and great location just next to the promenade.

    Will not be staying again at least not for work purposes, they also need to improve the breakfast...

    Breakfast was not worth the cost and i only had it the first morning, i then purchased elsewhere as i was working and needed a good breakfast, trying to check out early on the morning was bad, i had to call the number as even though i shouted (as per note left on the reception desk) the member of staff was too busy watching football.... loudly, then when he finally came he then left me to let someone in and had a chat before finally allowing me to check out.... it caused me to be late for work so i will not be staying again.

    Bed was comfortable, check in was easy, parking was easy and hotel had a lift

    I had booked a room with shower, and there only seemed to be one room available suitable for guests with mobility challenges. As the previous guest wanted to stay an extra night, I was allocated a room with a bath. Then was able to change rooms the next day. As it was between Christmas and New Year food was only available in the bar area. Food was very limited, would have loved some vegetables. The beach was very close, but the surrounding area was very run down ( no fault of the Hotel). Needs some investment.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. Tea/coffee making facilities available. TV was working. Car parking available and free for residents. Near the beach, cinema and fitness centre. New Year's Eve dinner was great. Heating in the room was good.

    The dinner arrangements on the first night were very peculiar; the dining room was closed so we were put on a table at one side of the bar, where there was no-one else dining. In addition, the meal I chose had cheese sprinkled all over it, which had not been mentioned on the menu, and which I don't eat. So I had to have my meal cooked again while my companions finished theirs. We ate somewhere else on the second night. The breakfast was ok, but it would be much better to have more fruit available, eg prunes, orange segments, apricots etc rather than a fairly ordinary fruit salad. There was no muesli and the waitress didn't even seem to know what it was - she offered me porridge!!

    The room had a lovely sea view and a new bed. It was clean and supplied with what we needed - toiletries, towels, tea/coffee etc. The location of the hotel was perfect for what we wanted.
