    We had three twin rooms for our group and one room stank of sewage which seemed to be worse at night. The occupant has a huge nose which means he smelt it more than most people!!

    The location was ideal, good setting

    Check out was 10am. This isn't ideal if you've been on a night out. 11am would be better! Parking was ok but the process could be improved... Having to pick up a key card before and dropping it off after was a bit of a faff.

    Great location and view of the harbour. Comfortable room.

    Room with a view fantastic but a warning for those sleeping lightly, it's on a busy road with passers by untill late. Although It was a Friday night and didn't affect our stay.

    Very spacious room, good room decor, and upgraded fixings for an older building, lovley original features still present throughout. Friendly front of house employees. Didn't eat or drink at the hotel, but the bar looked to be busy, yet relaxed when passing. I would recommend staying here, we stayed for 1 night, parking was convenient, and only £10 for 24 hours in the multi-storey behind the hotel, just a min walk. Shops, pubs, cafes, and the sea front all right outside your hotel.

    The bathroom could’ve done with a little more ventilation as the window in there didn’t open. The staff member who was on the desk late at night was unreasonably rude, condescending and miserable, to the point where it affected the rest of our stay; when we checked out it was the same staff member who checked us in (who couldn’t have been more lovely), and had we not had the experience we did earlier in the night, we would’ve stuck around to chat a bit, we also would’ve had breakfast, but that guy really left us with a bad taste in our mouths.

    Check-in and check-out was very easy, the reception staff who greeted us on both of those occasions were incredibly nice and helpful, really warm and welcoming and it was a pleasure to have spoken to them. The room itself was very spacious, great view, clean to a good standard, WiFi was also reliable. Perfect location, right by everything you’d need.

    Perfect location and great value for money. Room a little dated and could do with modernising/decorating. We had everything we needed and it was fine for just the 1 night.

    Rooms could do with updating. Window wouldn't close, a little more detail to cleaning around taps, toilet basin, mirrors and light switches needed but would return for overnight stay.

    Situated on sea front. Clean bed. Breakfast really good, buffet style. Choice of full breakfast, cereal, fruit, tea and coffee. Room well serviced with tea, coffee etc. Bar prices cheaper than in town. Conveniently situated for town, harbour and Princess theatre
