    the rooms all smelled like urine. not the bathroom but the room itself which makes me think the smell is in the carpet. there was not air con so the windows had to be open which would cause the doors to rattle during the night and the ceiling tiles in the bathroom to lift up. because of the smell you have to keep the window open all night which means getting woken up by seagulls and cats. there was one day I went for breakfast and someone had found mouldy bread in the bread basket they left it on the side but I think if someone checked the breakfast area regularly to make sure that mouldy bread isn't left in the basket or next to it. it doesn't give the best impression of the breakfast if you see that.

    the bed and the location. the bathroom was very clean, the sheets on the bed were clean too

    The only negative is that the pool and leisure area were not operational, we could get passes for the leisure facilities in the next building but would have preferred to use in the hotel 🏨, it was one of the facilities we were looking forward to using.

    We were very happy with the location, across the road from the beach 🏖️. Plenty of reasonably priced public transport for people not wanting to drive 😊. The outside of the building was not very appealing but the inside of the hotel was clean, tidy, nicely decorated and the staff were very helpful.

    The key to one of our rooms did not work. So, I had to go to reception to open the door every time. Was not ideal with little children. It was going to be fixed in the morning though.

    The beach on the door step was beautiful, with lots of grassy areas for kids to play on.

    Obviously the hotel's seen better days and could do with a refurb.

    I liked most things. The evening food was great, the breakfasts not so much. The guy in the bar in the evenings was wonderful. Funny, informative, engaging. An asset to the hotel.

    Very outdated place and the exterior looks a bit rough. The one elevator that was working was very rarely actually coming and that was a bit rough for our elderly dog, considering our room was at the last story. Did not appreciate being quoted £30 for the updates (2x sea view and one dog) and was charged £40 in the end and told we should have paid even more although we received tons of emails and messaged the property beforehand as well for all we wanted. Did not really understand why the price increase when asked. Bit disappointing to be fair..

    Good view, nice breakfast and accessible parking. Staff were very nice. The room was clean.

    Since our first visit around 6 years ago, it's gone down in that there are no Sunday lunches now, nor food during the lunch time. Only breakfast and evening meals. Unfortunately we had a noisy family which disturbed us on evening but that can't be helped and again a disco on another evening but again can't be helped.

    Location. So near the beach, shop and bus stop nearby and several eating places. On the whole staff friendly and helpful.

    The furniture in the room was a bit dated and worn, could do with being updated. This did not impact our stay. It would have been better if there was a greater choice of menu items.

    Location was excellent and we had a lovely spacious room. Staff were very helpful snd friendly. We had a meal in the restaurant which was lovely, great service.

    On checking in, the receptionist was not very welcoming at all. In fact, she was quite miserable even when a colleague was talking to her.

    The room was clean but very stuffy. Would have been good if they had kept the window open as it was a very hot day. The breakfast was lovely.
