    We found a few things on top of the wardrobe, what wasn't really nice to find. The blinds was full of dust. The shower didn't have alot of power behind it and was very small

    There was parking . Glad only stayed for 1 night,But the bed was really comfy. So did have a ok sleep.

    The hotel smelt as soon as we entered it. Not a nice smell. Before we checked in we noticed a bar & a pool table. The bar wa dark, small, closed & sold no draft beer, only warm cans of lager. We couldn't see a fridge & the beers were on top of the small bar. We checked in at 11.15am & managed to get a car space, although these are limited. He gave us the key, not explaining anything about the code for the front door. We went out for the day & had a nice time & came back at 5pm. At 6pm a party of people arrived to check in next door screaming, roaring with laughter & talking very loudly. An hour later a male friend of theirs checked into the room on the other side of us. They all began commuting between the 2 screaming & shouting. We escaped & went for a night out. When we returned at 1am the front door was locked with nobody on reception. I knocked and knocked but nobody responded. We were outside 30 minutes & had enough & so we hit the fire alarm. The initial friendly man came downstairs in his pyjamas & shouted at us for waking everyone up & then had the audacity to blame us for not knowing the code to the front door which nobody gave us or warned us about. We went to bed. 10 minutes later the noisy party arrived back & were even more raucous. We'd had enough, decided to leave at 2am & drove home. We paid £100 for this awful experience. The room was small, had no lamp, no bedside table & the shower was so tiny a large person would seriously struggle to get into it. We had no heating throughout the hotel or in our room. The windows were filthy & the hotel stank. A waste of £100. The least they could do was have a noise policy after midnight. The hotel is situated a 5 minute walk from the revolution ride. I'd highly recommend avoiding the place.

    The only positive was that we arrived initially to a nice & friendly member of staff.

    Place is very outdated. But was grand to lay your head down for the night. We were out all day.

    Roberto was a gentleman. Couldn't do more for us. Location was right beside pleasure beach amusements. And tram stops right outside.

    the smell, the soaked carpet, the attitude of the owner, having to sleep there until i was fit to drive home, booking for 2 nights

    nothing what so ever could possibly be liked about this run down effort of a so called hotel AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS Was actually jealous of the homeless people on the streets as they didn't have to sleep in this hovel Booked for 2 nights but travelled home early hours next day and put everything in the washing machine and had a shower to get rid of the rancid damp smell

    Everything. What a dump! From the moment we walked in, the smell of stale cigarettes hit us, and the smell in the room was even worse. Genuinely checked under the beds to see if anything had died under there. Freezing cold, damp everywhere. Even the carpets were damp. The heating wasn’t on but they did provide a plug in fan heater that barely warmed up a corner of the room. State of the art apparently! Luckily the heating came on at 10am as we were leaving. The shower was barely a dribble and it was stuck on cold. We are not fussy when it comes to hotels and knew not to expect much for £44 but this was worse than I could ever imagine.

    Close to pleasure beach, free parking

    The room we were given was very dirty and it had other people's clothes left in there. They did not provide parking, which they were supposed to provide. As a result of that we had to park elsewhere on the first night of our stay, then I had to book another hotel the following day. Despite not staying at the hotel for the second night. I am still waiting for a refund for the second night which the hotel owner agreed to "verbally" but since then he has not responded to the emails he has received from booking.com to confirm this agreement he made so that they can refund us.
