Polite staff, spacious room and comfortable beds and room for laptops if needed.
No refrigerator sadly or microwave. The shower door is a bit small for bigger people to get in if they wanted to.

Spacious room. We had a fan which was kindly given on request. Comfy night stays. TV channels worked including GB News which we were amazed about. Toilet was good. Not too far from sea and easy access to floors despite no lift. Lights were good and switches accessible. Space for laptop and nice coffee. Shower was warm. The receptionist did offer to port the large luggage to the room which was also good.
Sadly no fridge or microwave. Plus not fault of the staff on reception but cleaners forgot to clean the room on one nights stay. It would have been great to have a plug socket near the kettle instead of leaning or stretching down the floor to get to plugs we had to use an extension plug for this. Shame there is no lift to the place. We did get an apology for the only room on the lower floor he could give he said that’s all he could do for us the staff member on reception said. The shower door was bit tight for anyone large that could enter the shower which could be a problem for some visitors.

nothing
it was dirty, dingy, very shabby, cold, the facilities where a joke, the shower cubicle was broken and not big enough to safely shower a child, and only had one double plug socket into which the tv and kettle where plugged, the wifi was non existent, it was obviously built to a budget 40 plus years ago and never updated.

All the staff were friendly apart from the two in the bar constantly on the laptop.
The room was looking dated and the sill outside was awash with tab ends from a previous occupant.

Apart from the location, honestly nothing. Actually no, I liked the fact that I was given a fan for my room.
Where do I start? I was met at the reception desk by a guy who felt to me like he didn't want to be there. He showed me to my room (Room 8), where I was booked to stay for three nights. As I walked up the stairs, I noticed that the carpet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time, and needed to be replaced. As he showed me into my room, I noticed that the inside of the door didn't have a handle to pull it open, so I had to grab the latch to wrench open the door, which wasn't exactly comfortable. I also noticed the inside of the door was full of dents and scrapes. Upon entering the bathroom, It was obvious that the bathroom hadn't been cleaned, as there was urine on the toilet seat, and two pubic hairs. As well as that, I noticed that there were strands of someone else's hair in the shower tray. Around the shower tray, there was a very bad case of black mould, and also on the floor surrounding the tray. I also saw blood stains on the grouting. There was mould on the walls, as well as in various places on the ceiling. The towels provided definitely needed to be replaced as they were threadbare, and not exactly clean. The top of the desk in the room was covered in crumbs and dust, and the desk itself was also in a very bad state, as was the TV. The chair provided was also falling apart, and the coating was coming away. The plug socket was dangerous as it was coming away from the wall and wobbled as you plugged things in, so was a hazard. The TV remote was filthy, and hadn't been cleaned. The curtains looked like someone had taken a knife to them. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and left me in pain, the mattress very worn out and stained, and the bedding was dirty. The radiator was rusted, and was full of thick amounts of dust and fluff. Pigeons had made their nests outside the window, so were very loud. WiFi was unusable. The kettle was full of crud. I left after the second night, as I couldn't bear to stay for a third.

Staff friendly and attentive, breakfast traditional English well prepared and presented. Excellent!
The light in adjacent room was on all night! The occupants who didn’t breakfast were noisey into the early hours, this exacerbated by heat at night. Do you open windows to ventilate or close out noise.

bedroom needed painting but apart for that every thing was very good including breakfast parking was very good had no problems very close to the sea front and a short walk to amusements

Check in and member of staff always courteous and friendly
Hotel is being used to house people by the local council. Greeted outside by one person who is obviously having a 'difficult' time.
We were booked for a 2 day holiday and really should have been made aware of the nature of the hotels business.
We have stayed here before, but it has Im very sad to say, gone down hill rapidly. We left almost immediately, having pre payed for the 2 night stay.

Curtain rail falling down so big gap at top of curtain. No mattress or pil;low protectors. Bedframe wobbly. Mattress so thin as soon as you sat on it you could feel the bed base. Grubby marks all over the wallpaper. Room not made up for the second nightSmall room but huge bathroom. Dust and cobwebs on the window. Not double glazed so chilly as no working heater in bathroom. No bathmat. Towels poor
