Huge room with a sea view, entrance area with wardrobe and a huge bathroom. Plug and USB sockets by the bed which was handy. Large comfy bed. Nice breakfast included in our rate. Only downsides were that one of the cupboards in the room had a handle missing and had been screwed shut rather than replacing the handle, and there was a half-drunk bottle of wine in one of the cupboards that did open!

While the place was reasonably nice, we paid extra for a "sea view"...and got placed in the bottom level...which was a half-story BELOW ground level. Our "sea view" was more of a "knee view"

Quaint hotel on the waterfront. I did recieve an upgrade due to my Best Western membership. The hotel needs additional staff. The front desk person was overwhelmed. The WiFi is horrible. The elevator buttons are missing so you have to stick your finger in to activate. Overall this place needs work.

Great location on the seafront, near the Lifeboat Museum.around 15 minute walk from the pier and the train station. Ageing hotel facilities but the staff were very helpful.Special mention to Nancy who runs the breakfast service who was brilliant.

Very good. Spacious and clean room with fantastic sea view. Location was excellent too. Managed to find parking right in front of the hotel. Staff was friendly. Water pressure of the shower was good. Breakfast spread didn't have many choices but adequate. Enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable functional room, friendly, helpful staff, parking can be a bit difficult, especially as there was an event on the Western Lawns all weekend, but with perseverance parking can be found and is very cheap, £2.35 for 24 hours when purchased at the hotel. Overall, a relaxing stay.

Disappointed

The Citrus is in need of updating especially the bedroom. We had a seaview but could hardly see the sea because of the net curtains which were dirty and the bad condensation. There was no bedside lights, an old bed, very bad plastering and peeling and even a cobweb and spider in the window ! Old bath panel. Old spotlight hanging from the celing. What was good though that it was spacious, a new carpet and a walk in shower. Continental breakfast ok...
