Disappointing
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

There’s no lift, the bar was closed, basic things were missing from the room. There’s only one hook in the bathroom for the towel. There’s nowhere to hang your clothes when you go for shower. There were no coat hangers in wardrobe either. There was only one towel provided per person and no bath mat. TV signal kept disappearing and the volume was poor. The beds were uncomfortable; my kids didn’t want to sleep in them. I’m glad we only booked the hotel for one night.

Would not stay again
Pros:

Location near to shops and seafront

Cons:

After checking in we couldn't find any staff even on the number we were given to contact them. Twice we had to ask other guests to let us into the hotel.
A large percentage of rooms let to asylum seekers, a lot of whom were very noisy. Quite a few working as scooter riding delivery drivers who were coming and going til the early hours

DO NOT STAY HERE ! DIRTY AND BED BUGS
Pros:

Close to beach

Cons:

Rude staff, bed bugs. No customer service. Booked for 2 nights lasted one and would rather pay the hiked up fees to stay some where else. Akash insinuated that we were complaining about bed bugs to get a free stay! There's budget and dated but this was dirty and unhygienic save your self the hassle and stay somewhere else.
