Highly recommend this hotel
Pros:

The whole experience from booking direct with the hotel until I checked out after I stay could not be faulted. Every member of staff at the hotel was very helpful and friendly. The room was excellent, very clean, tidy and plenty of space for 3 adults.Lovely view of the sea. beach and swimming pool from the room balcony. Very impressed with the swimming pool. Cleanliness and temperature. Food was excellent. Disabled facilities are extremely good both in hotel and pool area. Walking distance from the sea, pier and town Highly recommend this hotel.

Failed
Pros:

Very odd old school hotel.
Location is ok, but hotel itself is not up to scratch.
Staff are very indifferent to customers and decor is very tired and outdated.
Rooms are very basic and bathrooms ( showers ) are like something from the 1970s

A wonderful holiday!
Pros:

Firstly, the not so good things. The furniture in our sea view room was dated and dark. I cut my arm on my bedside cabinet on our last morning, so rounded corners please! The water was very hot, so a warning needed. We had to ask for our room to be vacuumed on day 3.
The view of the sea and the pool from our room was superb. The pool was lovely and very clean. I swam there most days. The beds were comfortable, and I got a soft pillow when I asked. The breakfast was good. I had requested when booking blueberries and lactose free yogurt, and was given them. Free parking was included as we booked direct. Bar food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. The hotel is well situated on the East Cliff for beaches and buses.

A Lovely Holiday
Pros:

So enjoyed our stay at the Marsham Court Hotel. The room was lovely (sea view) and clean, the food delicious and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Reception and restaurant staff were outstanding. The hotel's environmental ethics is something to be applauded. It is not foisted upon you but you can partake if you wish. Thank you Marsham Court, a lovely stay.

Pros:

Flott utsikt. Bra plassering. Ingen air conditon på rommene var rødt flagg. Merkelig mange av gjestene var 70 år eller eldre. Personale fint. Ok dager for oss.
