"An unfortunate start to our stay in a very mediocre "standard" double room. The TV did not work, despite a staff member trying to sort it-& was left to the next day as already early evening. This room was "tired" and small. The hotel is an old Victorian hotel, sprawling with work being done. (There was scaffold to be seen from the window & some "works" noise heard during working hours, but faint.) The lift was old, but worked fine and lighting worked on a sensor... not always quite light & the passage was often dim as no daylight. The communal carpets were old and visible dust accumulation along the edges and at corners to doorways. We asked if the TV was noted for fixing at reception the next morning, and this was confirmed. We sat in the dining room and waited for breakfast as I was told by a staff member that I did not need to book just come down and "we will sort you". A sparse continental breakfast buffet was on display and I helped myself to an apple and yoghurt. (I was pleased there was plain greek yoghurt- but the bowl was enough for one generous helping... maybe 2! There was 1 banana and some apples, red and green, pastry, bread and cereal. (None which we eat due to being diabetic.) We didn't wait to have the cooked choice. The coffee was good. On checking at midday about the TV, it was not fixed and we were upgraded to a seafront room. Large &great view, apart from the trek... which included a few short staircases. Asda on JustPark has cheap parking if you can walk"
