Faulty towers has nothing on this
Pros:

Hairdryer broken, table broken, lift extremely scary to use as it is unstable. Shower filthy with mould and limescale, it kept going hot and cold during use. Fan in room covered in dust. Probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and I travel for work. Don't waste your money at this hotel.

Cons:

Needs cleaning and fixing

Ok for a short budget stay but nothing longer
Pros:

Dirty. Broken tiles in bathroom, rust covering radiator in bathroom mold on grout / sealant. Bed uncomfortable, tv Ariel held together with so much tape. Tv had large cracks on screen, and tv reception awful. Tea and coffee not topped up throughout stay.

Cons:

Most things really could have been better or improved. Drastically needs decorating. Paint over table

Pros:

Location is perfect

Cons:

This would have been an amazing hotel in its day. Unfortunately it now needs modernisation. Which would be uneconomical. Which is a shame

Let down
Pros:

The Staff were very helpful and friendly.

I liked that is was close to Sea Life, the big wheel and the shops. Lots of Restaurants and Cafes and of course Fish and chips shops.

Very close to the Beach. The beach was very clean

Cons:

The roo.m was quite small and old looking.

The cold water tap made a crazy noise when turned on.

I did not use the shower as very antiquated, too close to the door and not clean. Washed in the sink sideways as the windows were soo close to the window.

The Internet was rubbish kept saying no digital connection.

The entrance of the Hotel smelled bad as if they had never been cleaned or changed.
