Stayed 1 night

Parking is limited and prebookable at £10 a night, but there is plenty of free street parking in the area. We had a nice sea view on the 3rd floor, but unfortunately the lift only goes up to the 2nd floor. The room was compact but clean and comfortable with a nice big walk in shower. The breakfast is a buffet and was included in the price we paid. It was edible but the bacon was stuck together so some wasn’t cooked properly and the eggs were a little rubbery. Also the toaster was very much hit and miss. To be fair there was a coach party staying so maybe that's why things were a litte chaotic. We would stay there again though.

Everything was excellent the property who the staff the only thing I objected to was being too close to the corridor the door slammed and slammed and slammed and it only needs adjustment on the automatic closer personal thing just about me. I don’t like soft beds and pillows for that great

Although very clean and tidy the hotel is dated and definitely needs an upgrade especially with making the rooms more soundproof. During our stay the fire alarm kept going off during the night. We had to call reception to clarify if we needed to evacuate or not which we found poor as the majority of guests appeared to be quite elderly. There was no explanation or apology from staff the next day. This is a moderately expensive hotel and we expected better.

The location was okay with views of the shoreline but no practical access to the beach and the surrounding facilities were also a bit basic
