Lovely Location

Great location; very old and tired hotel (think 1970's social club decor and toilets in the pub/concert room). Bedroom was very clean, albeit small. Although I understand every hotel and business in the area need to make their money but charging £200+ a night just because there is a concert in town is rather steep and left a lump in my throat.. the normal rate of £75 is correct for this hotel!

We stayed for one night to attend a concert nearby. I'd booked a while ago and was a little dubious reading some of the recent reviews. The hotel has a great location and is as you'd expect a Victorian seaside hotel to be, a little dated but that's part of the charm. The hotel boasts commanding views over the bay and close to the castle. We had 2 rooms booked, both were spacious, clean and seemed to have new furniture. The staff were lovely. There's minimal parking, but we managed to park nearby. Overall the hotel was ideal.

Unhappy stay

The room you see when you book isnt the room you get. False advertising. The paint in the bedroom was peeling. The carpet had stains and was old and dirty. The bathroom radiator was hanging of the wall. The bathroom floor wasn't clean. Cobwebs in the recess of the bathroom window. An absolute disgrace for the money.

Avoid!!!!

Avoid this hotel! Very old and in need of major TLC and a deep clean. Mouldy bread at breakfast, moody staff and dirty bathroom - so much so we checked out at 9am in the morning desperate to get to our next destination so we could have a shower - there was no way we were using the shower in this place!

Very Disappointing

I booked a superior twin room, chaotic arrival, staff unsure of what they were doing. Given a room, on entry it was a double not a twin. The recptionist organised the change whilst we sat in the lounge, another member of staff dumped duvets and bedsheets on the floor near us. Then a different memeber of staff a few minutes later, sweating, picked them up and almost blamed us for his inconvenience if having to change the room to the one we ordered. Walking to the room there was a large paint pot and roller in the hallway. The 'superior twin' was on the first floor just by the hallway, able to hear conversations outside, in the hallway and in other rooms, including snoring at night. One of the hand towels had faint red stains on, did not want to enquire further on that. The best thing about this hotel was the view, which you can stand outside and get for free.
