The bay room views are wonderful. The rooms were spacious, although the bathrooms are curious with an added changing area without seating or a place to hang clothes/robes. The walls are thin, however, and noise carried between rooms easily.

Room was clean. TV didn’t work properly had to retune it ourselves, barely any channels and no access or way to watch Netflix or any other streaming services. Room was above the smoking area which was loud and smelt disgusting not great for asthmatics to walk past and have the smell wafting not the room.

It was a budget room 404 with a shower over a bath. You had to step over the bath to shower without a rail to hang onto. Then you showered on a rather slippery floor. Lastly, getting out means lifting one leg high to step over the side. All your weight is on the other foot, with nothing to hang onto and there is only a slippery wet surface supporting all your weight.

1st hotel where I have lived with no phone in room or any services if you need to get in touch with the hotel staff or reception. Room with only blinds , no day light curtains ... So technically either U have blinds on in day time or no privacy at all .

Our room had two queen beds. Everything was clean and the heater was on as we arrived. Although the room was simple it had everything we needed for our stay. The only downside is how loud the music and people are from the pub.

It was ok nice hotel with a stunning sea view. Location was good easy parking within the hotel area. The hotel got no lift, if you have big luggages and being arrange to stay in the upper floor congrats you just won yourself some free basic shaolin kung fu training. Pray hard you got no rude hotets room neighbors, the soundproof was bad and we have 2 nights with some rude user next to our room keep banging their doors every 10 or 15mins when they are in the room. ** please take note that the hotel to Penguin Parade is between 15 to 20 mins drive. However, beside the above we enjoyed our stay there and if we are going back again we will consider staying there again..
