It gave us a comfortable and affordable room as a base so we could enjoy our time in the area seeing the towns, beaches
Pros:

We liked the area it was in and the walk to the beach. The staff were lovely. The cooked breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

The upkeep around the hotel was pretty shabby. The car parking was poorly managed and laid out haphazardly. The interior is very worn and dated. There were a number of maintenance issues which have obviously been there for a while, but haven’t been fixed even though there is a ‘Maintenance report’ for customers that helps highlight these issues. The shower function and pressure was not sufficient so I was thankful for free public heated showers at the beach daily.

Pros:

For the price, is fair standard. Location is superb, a lovely 10-15 minute strole though a beautiful park down to a stunning beach, with all you need for a day by the sea. Staff were always helpful and polite.

Cons:

Food was average - but again, it was reasonable for the price - we didn't expect much better. We planned to eat out most of the time anyway.

Cheap Hotel, don’t expect a lots from it
Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

They made a mistake so they gave us a disabled room and then when a disabled guess turned up they asked us to move to another room
When checked out I forgot my fast charging charger and type C cable , I went back there a week later they said they couldn’t find it !!!!! I thought there is a lost property in every hotel

Wouldn’t come again in a rush but it was cheap and a roof over my head so can’t complain to much
Pros:

The only good part of the property was the outside as it looked so much nicer that the outside so it gave me good hope that the inside would be nicer

Cons:

The bed was as hard as nails it might as well have felt like we slept on the floor and also the room was falling apart there was wallpaper ripping off the floor and ceiling and the bath was so dirty it looked like it hadn’t been washed and the tv was on a boot loop so you couldn’t actually watch anything

Great value for money, nice breakfast, good location.
Pros:

Location was good, and a great buffet breakfast. The kids play room and pool was a bonus, just needed to book longer to use the pool.

Cons:

Decor needs updating, new carpets and a refresh. A little outdated.
