Nice hotel offering lots of facilities.
Pros:

Room quite adequate for my one night state. It was a peaceful room plenty of storage space if you needed to hang items up. Kettle with tea and coffee provided. TV with freeview was all I needed. Good shower. I used bar restaurant and food was standard pub food, the meal I had was great and reasonably priced.

Cons:

Mattress a little uncomfortable but it was an old sprung mattress so that is what you get.

Shame about the view
Pros:

The staff were excellent, we were so close to the sea and it had a great atmosphere.

Cons:

It wasn't the cleanest, there was a dirty plastic fork in the lift for a day and a half.
Despite being on the sea front, our view was a brick wall.
The bath was quite small, I'm under 5ft btw.

Awful room under the staircase mean for constant noise
Pros:

Good location, not far to walk into the town

Cons:

Poorly positioned room under the stairs and at the end of a corridor containing access to the changing rooms. No privacy. Heard everything from everyone going through the doors, people running up and down the stairs and all the noise from the bathroom next door. Very little sleep due to the constant interruptions. This room would serve better as a storage room rather than a bedroom.
Tea stains don the all by the bed along with a lack of carpet by the bedside table.
Easily the worst bedroom in a hotel I have ever stayed in.
