Stayed for over a month whilst waiting for a house move was very well looked after by staff always kept room clean and could have fresh towels when wanted, very close to beach and free parking also a little shop next door for essentials was a bonus 👍👍👍
Very good for what you pay for. Decent size room, decent cleanliness.
The hotel excels for it's location being a very short walk from the beach and town centre and the very good service.
We only stayed for one night and basically slept here but nothing else. The hotel staff were friendly and kind enough. On first look, the hotel is a little older and run-down, but not terrible. The beds were comfortable, the room was cosy, but the bathroom was a bit of a shock to the system.
When we arrived, there was water all over the bathroom floor and the toilet, no mirror was on the wall above the sink. It didn’t feel particularly clean, but for a cheap rate, you get what you pay for I suppose.
It did what we needed, it was a place to rest our heads. I don’t think I would choose to stay here for a longer trip.

The staff were friendly but unfortunately this former old hotel as had its days.
The hotel has been closed and boarded up for 15 months. And hotels.com do not care that we turned up with no where to stay.
Customer service is non existent
Staff were very friendly, hotel is a bit of maze but aren't they all.. slightly dated but for the price and location it was fab! Bed was comfy, free parking which is a bonus. I'd come back again.

Hotel closed and boarded up
When we arrived to check in we found the hotel closed and a brick through the window. We were left having to book a second hotel at our expense. Still looking to receive a refund for our booking.
