The entrance and atrium is impressive, but the rest, lifts, corridors, rooms - tatty and in need of a refresh. Surprised as this is supposed to be one of the brands ‘Royal’ hotels. Also wasn’t impressed that we were not warned of the fire alarm test that took place in Monday morning. That had us shooting out of bed thinking we had to evacuate. Anyway, will close this with a positive nite - it was nice to right in the middle of town and by the water - and although pricey, the parking underneath was convenient.

Friendly staff, good location, clean hotel.

Rooms were clean and location is excellent for seafront and Lanes shopping. Some of the rooms were a bit tired; my Mum’s door needed to be slammed to shut, and at 88 she didn’t have the strength needed. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Mum was worried about going away but staff were so helpful they took a lot of worries away!
