The Waverley Hotel
Pros:

Bedroom carpet dirty, shower mouldy in places, only one curtain that barely did the job and no net curtains for privacy. Room needs a refurb, it's dark and not very pleasant. The bed appeared clean but had a musty dirty body smell to it including the pillows. Not at all nice.

Cons:

I liked the location

Great location , budget hotel.
Pros:

Location great, free street parking. Staff were friendly. Although the rooms were small they were clean and had all the basics needed. The pub opposite (prom hotel had great drinks £8.50 for two double spirits and mixers ) if you’re just looking for somewhere cheap to sleep I would recommend.

Cons:

Small room , beds not the comfiest, hot water in bathroom tap didn’t seem to be on over night so made washing face late at night slightly uncomfortable with cold water. Walls were very thin. But didn’t really affect quality of sleep.

Very nice Hotel, Nice staff, but £10 breakfast, don't change Towels
Pros:

loved the room, we booked a twin but we were in a suite. staff were helpful & friendly. the hotel was perfect for sea front or the main shopping area. they provide a parking permit for free(my sons cost him £3 a day) would stay again

Cons:

we thought it included breakfast as in write up said a hearty breakfast, but was told it wasn't & would cost £10 a day. then they said no breakfast on Sat, Sun or Mon, seeing that we went Thur to Mon meant we only got 1 breakfast, it said it was 8 till but by 8.45 it was cleared away, we didn't get any toast. we left some dirty towels in shower as told but they just refolded them & put them with the clean towels

Great
Pros:

It was a great location, clean and tidy smaller size rooms but still big enough for the two of us to get ready considering we were out most of the time.

The pros outweigh the cons as we was barely at the hotel. It’s seaside so you can’t expect much in my opinion
Pros:

It was across the road from the beach, the staff was very nice and accommodating, facilities such as the communal toilets was clean as we would come back to use the toilets before going elsewhere etc which was convenient especially with young kids

Cons:

One room had bodily fluids on the side of the bed when we got there. Another room had blood on the walls and also had cigarette smoke residue lingering in the air. So they changed our rooms and put us altogether in an apartment which was nice. WiFi barely works in the rooms and also no signal either. All our phones would say SOS with the satellite signal. Shower is nice but a bit tight and although they do give you a permit for parking you may have to drive around quite a bit circling the roads to find a space.
