Unclean
Pros:

It was close to where I had to be.

Cons:

Dirty, hair in plug, tap not functioning properly and spurted water out rather than running. Marks on the wall that you could guess someone didn't have a tissue . No soap! General unclean.

Top hotel! Really comfortable stay.
Pros:

Lovely bar area, really enjoyed the piano being played by a local which created nice atmosphere.
Spacious and comfy bedroom and bed,
Great view of the seafront (photo I took attached)
nice shower too
And all in all staff were friendly

Cons:

The bed could've done with wider/longer pillows
Also was tricky filling up the kettle using the bathroom sink tap
Would also be nice to be able for adults to go out into the balcony (2nd floor) but understandable for safety reasons why it wasn't allowed.

An "ok" stay here
Pros:

My stay here was good, not too far from town centre. A basic room with usual tea/coffee facilities, check in was quick, had a room on 1st floor

Cons:

No hangers in wardrobe, bed not too comfortable, no breakfast but there's a kitchenette with just a microwave oven so one can bring in something to heat up. Provide your own cutlery though
