Convenient for sea front & town. Shower was easily to control water temperature.
Large bed but mattress has gone. Breakfast advertised but was not available.

This property was so bad, we didn’t stay.I will be sending you an email regarding a full refund.
It was very dirty, nothing like your advertisement and the receptionist kept wiping his sweat with his Tshirt distrusting.

It did for us what we required. ‘J’ was very helpful.
For the price we paid we were very satisfied, especially the upgrade to a family room on ground floor 👍

Room was lovely and fresh. The staff were so helpful to everyone. The bar, garden area and live entertainment there is so great to have. Food is lovely. Location is nice and so close to the Leas hall.
The beds aren’t very comfortable. No breakfast facilities. Some of the bar area is looking a bit tired now and could do with an uplift.

John is an absolute legend and frankly, if not for him I wouldn't have had repeatedly booked myself to stay there. John really pays attention to his customers and I hope he's as valued by the owners as he is by the customers.
There were a few wholes in the bathroom floor that led to the store below that would do with a bit of concrete to fill them up!
