Excellent location and great value for money
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay and would happily return again!
The hotel exceeded our expectations. Everything was very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall value for money was excellent.
The location is perfect – the beach, town centre, train station, restaurants and shops are all within a 5–10 minute walk, which made our holiday so easy and enjoyable.
We also loved the unique concept of the hotel. Every room is dedicated to a famous celebrity, making the experience even more special. We stayed in the Johnny Cash room, and it was fascinating to learn that Johnny Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, had stayed there. It added a memorable and unique touch to our visit.

Cons:

The only small suggestion for improvement would be to add a mini fridge to the rooms. During our stay, the outside temperature reached 37°C, so having a fridge for cold drinks and water would have been very useful.
Apart from that, everything was excellent. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely choose this hotel again in the future. Highly recommended!

Very Interesting Hotel with History and teamed rooms Good Location Lovely Lady on reception Breakfast buffet style just OK

Cons:

The room Beckham was very small and incredibly hot ( I know that is not the fault of the hotel but a fan which was not available would have helped Very Noisy and people sitting outside were talking incredibly loud late into night and very early in the morning Room decor very dated and needs serious updating

Good value and lovely breakfast
Pros:

Although a bit out-dated the ABBA themed room and bathroom were clean. Breakfast was really nice and the location to the beach is good. Really pleased to see an electric fan in the room on a very hot day!

Cons:

The walls had some marks and the wardrobe door handle was missing.

Disappointing for the most part
Pros:

-Cose to the centre and beach
-Bathroom was nice and newly refurbished.

Cons:

-Room was outdated and very very hot (stayed when it was very hot end of may).
-Limited choice for breakfast disappointing. Also, yhe first day we went for breakfast party of the ceiling had fallen down and the bits had just been left on the floor.
-Disappointed that we had to pay £10 a night for parking when we were staying at the hotel we thought that parking would have been included especially as we stayed for more than 1 night (2 night stay).
