Comfortable Hotel
Pros:

There was a disabled parking spot by the main door, which was handy as my wife has walking difficulties and is also blind. We were allocated a room on the first floor, but were close to the lift. The room was comfortable, and was quiet at nights

Cons:

It was a little further away from the town centre that than we envisiaged.

Pros:

Lovely staff, very clean & comfortable room.

Cons:

If you're looking to go to the pleasure beach then the location is perfect for you, the rollercoasters are practically on top of the hotel, but i found we had to walk quite a bit to find any restaurants or bars.
