Ok but not happy that we have paid twice, more
Pros:

Very nice breakfast

Cons:

The fact that we have paid twice, I had paid for this on my account, my partner checked us in, the manager told my partner that the payment for the Ron had not been made and that we could not stay unless we paid, “ he assumed I had only made a reservation not paid which often happens with bookings .com” so he paid so we could stay “ on checking my account you had took the payment but you had not paid the hotel, he must have known this but didn’t want the hassle of chasing you for the money, can you please refund my account, I did contact you but still heard nothing

Extremely disappointing
Pros:

Location to the beach front and that is it unfortunately.

Cons:

Where do I start, the rooms are extremely run down & dirty. The young evening bar lady manager was rude we arrived for food and drinks around 8pm only to told drinks only and we are shutting bar so hurry up and order.

We spoke to the manager of the hotel who was equally flippant we paid a decent rate for our two night stay but services were lacking and we certainly won’t be returning.

Poor show Marstons!! I have stopped in many over the years but the old colonial is one I will be avoiding .

Kind and helpful staff
Pros:

I've been a few times and have always found the staff, kind and helpful. A lady today came out to the beer garden and asked me if I wanted a bowl of water for my dog and it's this type of thoughtfulness from the staff, that makes me keep coming back.
