Perhaps the worst place I’ve stayed
Pros:

Nothing at all

Cons:

Room was like a sauna, toilet didn’t flush, room was tiny, tired and in need of a refurb. Three times I tired to call and was never answered. 30 mins calling when someone was at reception. Biggest issue was the blaring music from 8pm to midnight. Do not come here and especially if you have kids.

Wouldn’t recommend. But maybe we just had a bad experience this time
Pros:

Staff were helpful and resolved our problem

Cons:

Room was VERY small
The room had wires hanging out the wall and tv was on a chair

We left as the toilet also didn’t flush so they refunded our room.

Fair space for older children good
Pros:

Space in room also divided as we had our 18 year old boy with us gave space and privacy.

Cons:

Water pressure millions of flushes to clear toilet and shower was either scaling or cold. Couldn’t use hot tap in bathroom due to exceptional hotness. Tv in second room would not tune in.

Pros:

The view

Cons:

The room was nothing like advertised the TV didn't work all you could hear was the entertainment from downstairs and we had paid for a family room with a sea view and was only offered a double room with no sea view as an alternative there was an absolute fowl smell throughout the whole of the hotel
