This hotel is NOT air-conditioned. That’s not what you want during a heatwave at a time when English weather is getting hotter! I feel sorry for the staff who had to work in this terrible heat. I was immediately offered a different room on a lower floor but this hotel has to get with the times . Not good.

We had a room that was above the hotel ventilation system. The windows were glazed and had a pull over window too. However the hotel has no in room air conditioning. When it’s extremely hot outside and extremely hot inside we needed to open the windows, this was horrible to sleep through! Even with the windows shut and just the fan on during our second night, you can still hear the noise. The room did have a very small and noisy desk fan. NEVER AGAIN! Myself and my husband have both said we’d rather spend £60 extra per night than ever have to endure that noise again. We did tell the staff but they just said sorry but there wasn’t anything they could do.

Decent coastal getaway.

Great location overlooking the beach. Close walk to a few restaurants and bars. Retro look is appealing but some furniture is very worn. Gym is very old and worn, pool looked great but was packed, proved very popular in the heat. No AC in the room, just fan, proved a challenge to sleep. Restaurant had deed t meal options.

Good choice overall

Hotel is a bit dated, but the bed was comfy. Missing some room basics like a mini fridge and water. Breakfast could be better, although evening food was very good. Best bar of the places we went to during the 4 day stay. Good
