Poor condition

The room was in a very poor condition. The shower clamp was broken, decoration poor, toilet seat was loose, the sink was loose, the extract fan didn’t work and there was no hanging area. Also the room could do with blackout curtains as there was a street light right outside the window.

The heating did not work. First we froze and then it became too warm...there was no control. The room was tiny and quite unsuitable for a couple. The bathroom fittings were too small and everything was loose and coming off the wall.

The room was in need of some love as far as decoration goes. The main lampshade was a large 'white' feather arrangement which looked filthy, had cobweb coming off it.The bed was fairly comfortable & bedding was clean. The bathroom was fairly clean although the area between the shower & basin looked dirty. The TV didn't have reception. Unable to rate staff as we saw no-one, entering & leaving via key safe.

Great room slightly below standard complimentaries

Gorgeous room and lovely decor overall although a few things were broken opun arrival e.g. One of the blinds pull strings was snapped and one of the plant pots was crackes. The staff were very courteous and helpful. I would rate higher but the rooom did not come with any bath products or a hair dryer, and the tea and coffee was kept in the hallway between the rooms rather than having a selection in the room. Will definitely stay again if this is fixed.

The property was ok, it is a brilliant location, however the bar was unable to sell any alcohol, due to not having a licence, so we did not bother eating there. A huge area of concern was that the room had a kettle, however the cups, tea, coffee and sugar were on the landing served in an open uncovered dish, hardly hygienic in this any situation, let alone in this current climate. At a first glance the rooms seemed to be clean and well presented but the blinds were thick dust in most of the rooms, the doors to all rooms were left open, encouraging the spread of infections, the largest family room has a see through door to the bathroom therefor it is not private, you have to walk through the bathroom to enter the bedroom, the wardrobes of sliding doors was full of junk, another room had a shower in the corner with a screen in front of it and a wash basin, the toilet was not in the room but down a corridor to the left. another room had a private bathroom, much better but general cleaning was required. overall room for improvement and not as advertised. Breakfast is not available because the bar area does not open until 11am. Such a shame because it is in a brilliant location, close to everything you need and wish to see. Staff didn't really seem caring or knowledgeable. My advice stay at the premier inn.

Very disappointed

Very dissatisfied. Shown to a room that had no bathroom, just a visible shower in the corner of the room. Passageway up to the rooms was full of garden chairs which made accessibility a challenge We managed to swap rooms but mattress was very uncomfortable and too small for a couple Kettle was full of water and limes ale Toilet pump made loud odd noises after flushing Shower drain was blocked with led to the bathroom flooding.

Would not recommend

When arriving there wasn’t anyone to let me in, spent an hour trying to contact someone. After making contact it took another 45 mins for someone to let us in. I was left in the property on my own, when leaving they locked the front door and didn’t leave the correct key to get out. Had to make contact again for someone to unlock the door. There was a street light right outside the window and there was white netting and blinds up which didn’t block anything. There was also a pub sign outside the window which squeaked when moving in the window, which on the seafront was constant.

Well worth the money

The room was lush. It was a bit weird walking into the bathroom to go to the bedroom, but it was amazing. It was also a little unnerving that the bed was on wheels, so kept moving throughout the night!
