Disturbed nights sleep

Woken up around 11.00 pm by a load of youngsters until 2.00am. I understand they want to have fun but not at the expense of my sleep. The hotel manager did apologise for the disturbance in the morning.

Disappointed

Hotel very dated. Fixtures around 40 years old. Sheets and towels reasonable quantity. Room was clean. The bed was very uncomfortable. Cheap mattress. Lots of children running wild around the corridors and bar areas, whilst their parents drinking. Not good value for money We won't be returning.

Stayed for 1 night to see the illuminations. Hotel is opposite a tram stop so really handy. There is parking to the side of the hotel as well as on the prom, we got a space which was great. The pool is quite small and shallow but the kids had loads of fun in it. Would stay again.
