Quiet stay
We had comfortable stay. The rooms are fine bit dated, plastic hanging off the fire alarm (suspect it was recently installed).No phone in the room.

Chilled out 2 night break
Room was clean and bed comfy. Room was facing the main road, but you couldn't hear the traffic. Only problem was very creaky floorboards and not enough hot water to run a bath. Also would of been nice to have just a residents only bit of bar. The steam bar was always busy and tables full

This is an older hotel, but shows that it has been maintained. We had a nice ocean view, the room was decently sized, had an updated bathroom. We ate at the restaurant a couple of times and had nice meals there. I especially appreciated their laundry service, since we packed light on our tour of the UK.

Helpful and friendly staff. Great views
The location of the hotel was great and the staff were excellent. Particularly Michelle on reception who helped us move rooms when we had an issue with ours. She was great and couldn't do enough to make sure we were happy and comfortable.

Nice stay
Nice hotel. Beautiful views in the bar/ dining area. Staff were helpful. Room was ok. Needed an update. We were horrified to discover bloody stained sheets on our bed and lots of body hairs. We are convinced the bed had not been changed. Staff changed the bed. I made a complaint but no response from the manager. Parking outside the front door was perfect. Although we were over charged for this. The entertainment on Saturday night was great. Good was nice.
