Nice to sit on the veranda

Although parking was tight with a bus in the way it worked. Service for drinks was generally slow. Front desk support could have been more helpful. The room was well kept and supplied.

I thought the restaurant area and outdoor pool was very nice,the rooms were clean but we didn't have an ironing board or iron,the beds were okay,pillows not very comfortable but mattress was quite firm. I wasn't impressed with the breakfast for a three star hotel,a bit basic and standard,nothing particularly stood out about it or the breakfast dining area.

Staff amazing

My friend and I went from Monday -Friday. On arriving the staff were lovely however got to the room and it was dark. My friend and I said if they had arranged the bedroom differently it wouldn’t have felt so dark. The heater in the bathroom was so dangerous. Also the whole hotel needed some TLC. But the staff made up for the rest of it every member of staff was lovely.

Terrible

Bedroom wasn’t particularly clean . All the doors were hanging off the drawers . Wall paper hanging off the wall . Doors banging all weekend no one had any consideration . Didn’t see a cleaner or maid all weekend . The swimming pool has scum across the top and the pool area was never checked during the day . The plastic empty glasses and cans blew about all day and for hours there were unattended towels on the sun beds which no body delt with. The inclusive evening meal was extremely limited with around 3/4 choices per main . The chicken was over cooked . The roast potatoes had been reheated and frozen veg wasn’t even cooked and still hard . We wanted to extend our stay for a few hours on the day we checked by parking our car on the onsite car park but the main behind reception admitted he didn’t want to help us with free parking even though we were paying guests for the weekend and the proceeded to charge us for a another couple of hours . Avoid hotel , the photos are old .

I saw lots of negative reviews for this hotel so was very nervous about booking but we’d been let down at the last minute with the accommodation we’d booked for our weekend away so booked the Ocean hotel and hoped for the best! I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised, yes the outside is a bit tired but the reception and bar area are lovely, the staff are friendly and helpful and the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed, even a fan and heater in the wardrobe for hot/cold weather, beds were really comfortable and it was much quieter than I expected it to be, we had a stunning sea view too, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again

This is a perfectly OK hotel, let down by attention to detail. For example, no channel changer in the room, bad TV reception, tepid bath water and windows painted shut. Some of the staff are lovely and helpful. The terrace with sea view is lovely. I wouldn’t stay here again because I’d rather stay closer to transport and the town centre.

Poor Parking.

Unfortunately the hotel car park was full on arrival, so had to pay £21 to park on the road. One of my wing mirror's ( adjacent to the pavement) was deliberately smashed overnight. I did manage to park in the hotel car park on Saturday, however I will not risk coming back to the hotel again. The incident spoilt the weekend.

Good stay.

Lovely staff and great location on the beach. Room was a bit stuffy and even with windows open, could not get a comfortable nights sleep. Pillows could do with being a bit more supportive. Very flat with little support.
