Great breakfast, plenty of good quality food and it was hot. Evening meal was pub type menu but well prepared and served. Room very nice with good bathroom and serviced immaculately every day. A starchy receptionist did not give good first impressions but staff great afterwards. Will i stay there again? I hope to.

I have stayed at this hotel before as its location is good on the sea front. I paid a fee to upgrade from a single to a double and the room was very spacious. I was disappointed that I didn’t have a sea view especially as the hotel had a lot of availability on the day. The breakfast was good with lots of choice.

I have stayed here many times over the last 2 years. The hotel is always very good for being located to the seafront, theatres, town centre and plenty of eateries too. The breakfast buffet is excellent as is the cafe/bar. The staff are all very efficient and polite. Rooms always clean with good view and furnished to a good standard.

Nice stay.

Room was nice and spacious. Huge bed! Decor was quite dark and dated, found it quite expensive for the type of room, but was clean.
