Nice looking hotel but wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

The room was nice and clear and spacious

Cons:

I Was woken up by the TV in our room just randomly just turning on through the middle of the night and this happened 3 times and I find it hard to get back to sleep . I try to look for a plug to try it off but it’s hard wired in to the wall. Also the coffee machine didn’t work either

Wouldn’t stay there again
Pros:

The property is smart but is starting to look a little tired in places

Cons:

Parking is awful, I am a blue badge holder they said I could park yet there was no where to park. The venue is starting to look tired we had a stain on our carpet and the bed was extremely uncomfortable for the amount they charged. No reason not to use a more budget friendly hotel.

All fir coat and no knickers
Pros:

Hotel was clean and staff were friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

Bed was hard, pillows were too soft in comparison. Air con unit in our room constantly sounded like a flushing toilet, even when off. Generator outside our room on all night - we know this as we didn't sleep and left at 4am. Tv remote had gunk all over it. Bottle for the water was chipped and cut my lip. Bathroom also smelled like drains.

Room 209.

Extremely disappointed- all complaints ignored .
Pros:

The location - genuinely is the best part of this hotel

Cons:

2 coffees £13.20 , water dripping through ceiling as bathroom are not built correctly , the wet rooms the water goes the opposite direction to the drains , they have laid plastic strips to try to stop water it doesn’t work , plastic fittings in bathroom for dispensing shampoo etc , fall off wall , very cheap products , for a boutique hotel it should have little products , air con is very loud , guests leave dirty trays in corridors these are only checked every 7 hours , black out curtains are fitted incorrectly so do not work , the light fittings are falling off walls , it’s extremely cheaply built , food is only Indian , staff are all Indian which isn’t a problem but the look vacant at you when you explain issues , they do not respond to complaints . Other customers were arguing at checkout , three couples complained just as we were checking out .

Not worth it. I would’nt recommend or stay here again.
Pros:

Amazing location on the seafront with beautiful terrace bar overlooking the sea.

Cons:

Parking is a problem. Only 6 hotel spaces in hotel carpark and all pay & display parking locally full.
The hotel room was a shoebox, very dark, awful view from window.
Room was very tired and needed a refurb.
Ned was a small double and had dried blood stain on flat sheet. Lights were dusty, urine on toilet seat from previous guest.
Decor was shabby.
Room felt like a cell.
