One of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in
Pros:

Was a last minute break, room was small, walls looked as if not painted in years, wallpaper coming off the wall, carpet dirty and not fitted properly.
Bathroom had broken cracked and missing tills.

Basic but adequate.
Pros:

Hotel is situated on the road opposite the South Pier. No Breakfast or a bar unfortunately but if you are looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful just to sleep for a night or two, then it's fine.

Glad it was only 1 night
Pros:

Very little security, there was supposed to be a key code to get through the front door… the door was never locked.
I’m sure place was last decorated in the 70’s! Dirty net curtains with cigarette burns in them. No towels. Had to go to reception and ask for a toilet roll, to be given one that was literally shredded!!
On a plus, the bed was comfy and the bed linen was clean. I wasn’t expecting The Ritz but for £40 a night, i did expect towels and toilet roll!!

Pros:

The first room we were in had dead flies on the floor & window sills, cobwebs in the corners & was very outdated. In the early hour of the morning there were scuffling noises coming from the ceiling & the ceiling tiles were being physically lifted by what we can only imagine was by rats or some other rodent. The number for emergencies in the room wasn’t in service however another number was at the reception. We requested a room move which we received without question. No facilities for parking despite Expedia stating limited parking available.
Not a very pleasant experience unfortunately.

Needs a heck of work doing to it 😑
Pros:

Very run down hotel and needs a heck of alot of TLC...We had dead spiders in our shower that obviously hadn't been cleaned..The blinds in the room were broken and didn't close..The tv was hanging off the wall and didnt work..Only 1 cup in the room for a drink..Tiny tiny bathroom ...No fans in the room even tho the heat was excessive..Very noisy throughout the night...on the plus side there is a lovely cafe called Sallys 2 minutes up the street..

Pros:

If im honest there wasn't much at all to complain about the only thing i would say is that some curtains as well as the blinds would help but overall a good basic room but get WiFi and curtains and it would have been great

Uncomfortable beds, thread bare carpet no kettle
Pros:

Greated with a wait when room should have already been ready, room thread bare carpet that i caught my foot in and fell over, vould have been serious, tea items there to make a drink but no kettle ?? Whats the point?? Toilet with no loo roll, luckily i didnt require.. hotel plan shows dining room but no option of breakfast , use of room or even somewhere with use of a kettle before have to check out... mattress was thin, cheap and uncomfortable... bnb means bed N breakfast.. no breakfast and uncomfortable bed means both were lacking ..
