It was just fine with the exception of the road-works outside (out of the Hotel's control?)
Pros:

It was interesting to try Alexa opening Curtains and dealing with lights directly. But I'm not sure that it improved politeness, since Alexa responded best to direct curt commands, without customary P's & Q's.

Cons:

It was fine. I didn't understand (I have tiled bathrooms) why once the bathroom had been well kitted out with new tiles the walls had been beautifully grouted but the floor had chunks of gout missing - presumably likely to leak onto the floor joists.
Also the route to the lift was very cramped; I assume that the whole hotel was in process of refurbishment, though there was no sign of workers on the premises.
Using only a Web-App to get terrestrial TV limited it to a clunky "Fire-Stick" interface which denied access to anything other than streamed content and BBC Channels; ITV news, for instance was not available until the following day!

For the one night stay only it was just about adequate.
Pros:

The room was smaller than expected. The good thing was the electrics & bathroom had all been modernised & updated.
Alternatively the radio, TV ,lights & window curtain were conveniently operated via "Alexa"

Cons:

The room was smaller than expected & the walk in shower was too small for a larger than average person.
No staff visible on arrival except for one person in the very small reception room.
No breakfast was available if required.

Our room was on a slope but the balcony and view were perfect.
Pros:

Look out window at the sea. Sit on the balcony and watch the sea.

Cons:

Our whole room sloped slightly, so the bed also sloped and I felt I was rolling out of bed all night.
It was a difficult set over to get out onto the balcony.

Below average
Pros:

There wasn't anything to like to be honest
Nothing worth standing out

Cons:

We didn't like how rude the staff was over the phone, I had a question before arriving so called & the lady ( sound older ) was just rude & not helpful at all

On arrival there's no reception desk, just a cubby hole.
We got told all parking was full yet wasn't

Our room wasn't ready & it was just ok. We stayed in room 109. The telly is on the side of the wall which was uncomfortable as it should be placed straight ahead.

There's a distinctive smell of food from the restaurant that's not pleasant

We paid £88 for the room definitely not worth any more & we got this on offer glad we didn't pay full price.

That's not including breakfast

A fabulous place to stay with a touch of mod con luxuries.
Pros:

Its proximity to all local amenities and facilities is excellent. Easy checking in and out and the option for storing luggage until we were ready to catch our train later in the day was most appreciated. The Smart mod con in room apps were amazing and added a touch of luxury to our brief stay. Newly fitted bathroom was a complete hit. Beautiful and clean. View from our balcony was outstanding. Use of the lift made access for our stay so much easier.

Cons:

A lick of fresh paint on the bedroom walls would bring the whole room up to excellent standards. The marks, scuffs and scratches, albeit at the end of season, let it down just very slightly. We had a sea view room and the use of the balcony was great. Replace the fairy lights on the balconies at the front of the property so that they work and that would uplift the balcony any the frontage to make it look so much more inviting.

Pros:

I loved overlooking the sea and hearing the waves from our room. The restaurant looked fabulous.
