Hotel minable et vieillisant
Pros:

Absolument rien

Cons:

La vétusté des locaux, des équipements, le défaut d'entretien et de ménage,l'attente devant l'hôtel pour rentrer a l'accueil...
Cet hôtel vous conviendra si vous êtes âgés de plus de 77 ans,vous y serez considérés uniquement si vous arrivez en bus par lot de 50,la suite de votre sejour n est pas loin vous aurez le choix de votre funérarium, en effet il y en a 3 autour de l hotel...
Si vous réservez sur booking ,ils vous donneront leur pire chambre, juste en dessous de la salle de restaurant où le personnel et les clients piétinent bruyamment de 5h du matin à 8h puis de 19 h à 23h40...

Perfect beach break in the heat
Pros:

Location was excellent and parking available albeit downna steep driveway .cosy wee room but despite the searing 30 + temperatures and no fan it was cool enough to sleep comfortably with window open and shower was perfect .breakfast I was advised by staff to come down later because they had two large coach parties in so at 9 am I was spot on for a fantastic English breakfast and fresh pot of coffee ....staff were hectically busy but still very chipper which was lovely to witness ..

Cons:

Nothing really it was tremendous last minute impulse booking and I was disappointed that they were full otherwise I'd have stayed another relaxing night .right beside the park too and I was worried that the crazy golf Pirate yoyho ho noise might keep me awake but I had no issues at all .

Very pleasant stay
Pros:

The view from the room was amazing

Cons:

The whole hotel could do with a makeover. Wallpaper is really old and drab. Paintwork needs doing to brighten it up and cushions on the furniture in reception need to be cleaned. This hotel could be beautiful with a little tlc

Extremely good comfort and great staff for very good value
Pros:

Very comfy large single bed, plenty of room to turn over!
Lots of plugs everywhere
Lots of space for your things, didn't feel at all cramped
Had a bedside fan which in the heat was ideal
Extremely good value for money
Sea view, almost touching distance!
Every staff member went above and beyond to help me and was very friendly

Cons:

Door was stiff and I couldn't get in but the staff member helped me
Window was also very stiff to open... Took me a while, probably just needs a bit of WD40 on it

Limited parking but again staff were extremely helpful as I was on my own as a young female.

Nice hotel a bit tired though
Pros:

Staff all friendly . Shower was really good . Breakfast was good also

Cons:

There was a terrible "droning" noise all night in our room kept us awake very very annoying turned out to be a generator of sorts attached to the building . As we were in the basement it was heard all night.

It was ok as a base for the places we wanted to visit locally. Overall disappointing.
Pros:

Convenient for access to the places we wanted to visit

Cons:

Breakfast for those of us who don't eat cooked eggs,bacon, sausage etc needs to be improved on. I think choice of fruit juice should be offered as part of the meal, instead of "starter"
Fresh fruit to go with cereal such as a banana, the mixed
fruit offered was ok but not great. Putting a pot of tea on the table even before we arrived seemed pointless I don't like stewed tea. One night I had a small accident which required a new sheet on my bed. I was very disappointed to find housekeeping had just remade the bed. I had to ask for a clean sheet to a member of staff, the attitude to this request was seemingly met with some annoyance. I appreciate it was hot and we were all struggling in the heat, but we were paying customers. It was also obvious that this hotels priority tends to lie with customers on coach tours, and this was apparent at breakfast.
