Could do with a little fridge in the room. And a fan for the hot weather

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Old and tired looks and facilities. No fans in the room even in this scorching summer and I think that is a basic need now in this hot summer!!

Pros:

Happy hour and outside seating
Friendly helpful staff
Good range of alcohol behind bar

Cons:

The heat but nothing the hotel can do about that, the rooms as result were warm too.
Smart small ceiling fans are about for cheap if each room had one would make world of difference..

Bit of fawlty towers vibe.
Pros:

Very clean, excellent location, views were amazing. Pets welcome.

Cons:

It was very dated, could really do with a renovation, while it was very clean the bathroom was 50yrs old. Corridors were creaky floorboards, paint peeling off the ceilings, very narrow. Only had breakfast, it’s not a buffet, staff weren’t very pleasant, very abrupt, no welcome smiles. Very slim choice of full English or cereal or both. While it suited our purpose of an overnight stay I would look for other accommodation to return to Tenby for a longer stay.

The weather was beautiful.
Pros:

Only the location
Breakfast was satisfactory

Cons:

The whole hotel is in dire need of refurbishment
We have never stayed at a 2* hotel before and if this is anything to go by we never will again . Chose this hotel as it was last minute and in an excellent location but utterly disappointing.
