A most enjoyable night away.
Pros:

Clean, bright, comfortable room.
Comfortable bed
Amazing food at both dinner and breakfast
Friendly, helpful staff

Cons:

To many stairs!
Being an old building there are different levels on the same floor meaning you need to go up & down stairs to stay on the same floor. (but the accessible rooms are near the lifts)

Fine
Pros:

Great location. Friendly staff.

Cons:

The fan in the bathroom was a bit broken so very loud and the fridge in the bedroom were incredibly loud - I got up to unplug the fridge in the night. I paid a fee to have food delivered to the room (work trip) and it wasn’t very nice but was also left without cutlery or napkins.

I really didn’t enjoy staying inside the hotel at all.
Pros:

The location was convenient and easy to access.

Cons:

This hotel is more suitable for guests aged 70 and above, so it may not be appropriate for younger guests to book a room.

Quiet night by the sea
Pros:

Dog friendly plenty of beasts to play with
Good atmosphere. Great view from room. Food was limited but very good indeed. Staff were an absolute joy and a total credit to the hotel.

Cons:

Mattress was seriously uncomfortable and probably well passed replacement. Morning obstruction in corridors as rooms cleaned made it extremely difficult for movement with a rollator.

Huge apartment in a brilliant location
Pros:

We stayed in the apartment which was HUGE, very comfortable and well-equipped. The location is great - just a short walk to the beautiful beach and pier amusements as well as restaurants. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

As a coffee lover, a cafetiere in the kitchen would be a welcome addition. That is a minor point. Instant coffee was provided.
