What guests think

At Fitzgerald's Hotel, travellers highlight the seafront, walkable location and friendly atmosphere, with many praising comfortable, spacious rooms and a hearty breakfast, while noting the property’s old-fashioned style and small inconveniences like no in-room kettles.

Facilities include a small rear car park, a downstairs tea and coffee station, and a bar, but lobby toilets are sometimes locked and dinner service can be unavailable during events. Rooms are comfortable yet dated in places, with basic TVs and occasional weak Wi-Fi. Most guests find the hotel very clean, though a few noticed cobwebs, paint wear, or a hallway smoke smell. It suits travellers who value character and location over modern frills.

Lovely interior of this smaller old hotel. Thankful for the elevator when bringing up the bags. On the Main Street across from the ocean,very walkable location and its own car park in the rear.

Nice hotel, lovely bar, I was sorry we had not booked dinner, it looked amazing. Breakfast was good and as we were in a hurry to reach another destination, we were pleased with how fast the service was. Rooms were comfortable and warm. Would be happy to stay there again.

Old style hotel, good size room but very dated. The hotel and hallways had a strong cigarette smell which is a big turn off for me. If you get there early enough you can park out the back. It was cold and had to ask to get the heating in room turned on as it only started at 6pm, which was no problem

Toilets in lobby locked, had to ask to use them. Extremely tiny car park at rear, once in it was difficult to turn around to get out as no parking spaces. Had to park on roadside but move car before 9am to avoid parking charges, can not park in larger car park in front of hotel as it does not allow overnight parking. Front door was still locked at 8am so had to ring for receptionist to unlock. No tea/coffee in room - it is only available at the foot of the stairs so very inconvenient. Breakfast choice was ok & both food & coffee were tasty. Room was nice & warm with new bed linen but overall was dated. Paint was peeling off the bathroom ceiling but there was sufficient space to place toiletries bag next to sink which was a positive point.

The property is delightfully in a time warp of 80 years ago. Our only complaint was that there was no bottled water in the bedroom (and was not available to buy when the bar was not open).

Fabulous quirky hotel right on the seafront with private parking. Rooms are huge with modern clean bathroom. Only little negatives was not hospitality tray in the room as i like to brew up in my pyjamas and although coffee available outside i didn't fancy getting dressed to leave the room. Bring a travel kettle and mug if in room drinks are important. Also only basic tv. Watched Netflix on my laptop. These are not disastrous negatives but important little details to me.

Good hot water from the shower & decent pressure. Very good location, right on the main st & our room had a sea view. The breakfast was very good indeed. I’d happily stay again.

First impressions we got when walking into the hotel was awful, noone sitting on reception like a normal hotel, had to ring the bell 3 times for someone to come out. When I got approached by a man to check us in to be told I only booked a double & single room. I says yes and I requested a cot for a child, and by a ignorant man (manager he says) to be told NO! We don't have cots, you are breaking the policies of the hotel all this crap. If you want to stay somewhere else you can!! Cut a long story short we had to drive hour away to stay somewhere. Never witnessed customer service like it before EVER!!! Wouldn't even mention the hotel to anyone that it even existed!!!!

A lovely entrance lobby with unique flooring. Our room was very dated and the hairdryer contraption is out of the 70's! The breakfast was OK but could tell things need to be done (by order of the management, no doubt) in a certain way. And have been done that way for years! The ladies serving were pleasant and efficient. This wasn't an awful stay just not as modern as we are used to.
