    Too hot and stuffy, despite the air conditioning. I hated that you can't open any of the windows - it felt very claustraphobic at times.

    Lovely hotel. Very modern.

    Breakfast was a bit of a bun fight around 9 to half past with lots of people and not enough tables. Staff were excellent though. If you go early or after half nine it was a lot less busy. Never had a dedicated barman ,staff were filling in and cocktails were a bit random. No baileys at the bar!!

    Position was ideal for visiting restaurants and pubs. Staff were cheerful and helpful. Hotel spotlessly clean.

    Had to eat elsewhere as there was a coach party in. Luckily there was a pub 2 doors down that could serve us and had some enjoyable live music. The staff although efficient could have been more friendly.

    Visited for a trip away with my mother. This was a great location next to the beach and easy to access restaurants and the Steam Train. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The room was quiet and had a great view of the pier. Breakfast was very tasty and the ingredients were a good quality.

    The property was excellent. The staff in the restaurant, didn’t seem to understand how the half board system worked.

    The location was great, very clean and comfortable . We had an accessible room which was very good.

    The carpet in the bedroom was appalling. I now understand why previous reviews said it was threadbare and stained. Whoever chose it and Whoever designed it should be forced to live with it in their homes. Surly/ borderline rude breakfast staff, special mention for the girl with the bright orange hair. Her attitude was dreadful. (Breakfast however was good).Food in restaurant expensive, and in my opinion extremely overpriced.

    Very comfortable beds. Nice pillows. Lovely young lady called Bethany behind the bar. Good location. Helpful receptionists. Other staff generally pleasant and helpful. Good choice at breakfast, which was included in the stay.

    At check in no information was given on how the key cards worked or where the room was or how to get there by using the lift. Nothing was explained about anything apart from the breakfast time, Poor really. £15 to park your car per night.

    Close to the seafront. Buffet breakfast.

    No free parking. It is £15 a day for parking... It is worth paying for a seaview, otherwise you may be stuck with a backstreet view of bins.

    Great room with a working aircon. All around good facilities.

    There wasn't really anything we didn't like. The car park a little tight fitting. But thrilled we got a space means an awful lot to us.

    Absolutely brilliant. Missed having blackpudding.but can't complain everything well thought out.

    Went to hotel restaurant for a meal, we hadn't long arrived told restaurant closed at 9 o'clock. We asked at 8.30 was told to late to order, so we went to look for food elsewhere, could have stated in hotel, when last orders are taken for food.

    Hotel was really nice, room nice and clean with a great view.
