The room was okay, apart from the two beer bottles I found in the ceiling light- evidence might not have been cleaned thoroughly. Parking was not the best, very small entrance with a speed bump, even the spaces are tight in the middle. The staff behind the counter was quite rude, and seemed to be as if she had better things to do. Even when we left, went to go tell her about the beer bottles we had found and she looked at us, I went to talk and she walked into the opposite room. Other than that, hotel was warm, could use a lick of paint though. Didn’t get a beach view with my room, but not too fussed. Hotel was on the sea front so great position. Bar lady was amazing :)

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The first room we were given looked like a dumping ground for old furniture, it was dirty and run down. We complained and got moved to a different room which was much better but still very tired looking, this theme continued throughout the rest of the hotel. The whole place needs a clean up and face-lift.

A grand beachfront hotel. There is the option of security controlled parking which is an additional fee or on street parking which is free from 6pm to 8am but reasonable after that. I took an elevator to my room on the 4th floor which had a lovely balcony providing an idyllic view. The room was nice and tidy and the bed gave me a great night's sleep. The dining area had a slightly tired looking décor with a buffet breakfast which got the day off to a good start. Decent value for money.

Disliked: Room comfort
The mattress was knackered, so uncontrollably to lie on, when you can feel the springs almost digging into your body. I had to lay on top of the duvet, to give myself another layer, between myself and the matress. When it comes to the condition of the matress, its the chance you take with Britannia and a lot of other independent hotels. The rest of the room/bathroom was good, with plenty of toiletries provided, along with tea/coffee making facilities.
