Slechte prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.
Cons:

Harde muziek tot diep in de nacht, heel gehorig, kapotte meubels op de kamers, erg verouderd. Veel te duur voor wat het was.

Not very nice for a solo female guest although the owner was super friendly
Pros:

Right on the sea front with its own car park

Cons:

There was a hooded man sitting in reception both times I popped in during the day which was a bit odd. I booked a double room and was initially shown to a single. The owner who was very friendly then took me to another room that was a double and then explained at length about closing the shower door whilst standing in the bath Matt in his shoes. Whilst the bathroom was clean the bedroom floor clearly hadn’t been cleaned, hair bands on floor and rubbish behind bedside cabinet. On using the toilet (in the morning) it was clearly partly blocked and rising worryingly high.
On going to bed in the evening my neighbour guest was playing loud rap music and there was a strong smell of weed coming into my room. The bathroom walls are VERY thin, I could hear my neighbour. The room had no phone or instructions on how to ring the owner and reception was closed when I went up. I didn’t feel particularly safe and there was no chain for extra security.
I was provided with 2 small bottles of water to make tea, a spoon would have been helpful 😂
Restaurant was shut so no breakfast available.
On leaving I bumped into a lady who shared that she was living there until the council could rehome her so the hotel is clearly a refuge of some sort. Reception was closed when I left so I couldn’t inform the owner of any of the above.

Do not book this hotel!
Pros:

Hotel is not fit to house a dog. Blood and semen on the bed, bed made out of wood, exposed electrics, shower door that doesn’t close. Half the building had pigeons flying around inside which we seen as we pulled up. All was reported to reception and asked for a refund, which was refused. We left and booked another hotel! After 2 hours of phone calls to hotels.com they agreed to refund for our booking.

Pas la meilleure nuit de ma vie ...
Cons:

L'alarme nocture de 3h à 5h du matin.
Le sommier du lit qui est seulement une planche de bois.
La vieillesse des matelas.
Les fenêtres qui sifflaient avec le car les verrous sont vieillissants.

Pros:

Room was clean but paintwork and flooring need looking at. Strange selection of guests smell of cannabis coming through our first floor room and noisy guests up drinking all night next door. Fire alarm went off at 1am on the Tuesday then again at 3am on the Wednesday only to be told twice it was a false alarm. Not even an apology

Pros:

Die Lage am Meer war toll.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist schon recht in die Jahre gekommen. Das Zimmer hatte Teppichboden, Fenster, die sich nicht öffnen ließen und es war lange ziemlich laut.
