The gloom room.
Pros:

The arrival "greeting" was miserable. No welcome nor information was forthcoming.
No elevator available nor help offered with our luggage and we're pensioners !
The room was not cleaned nor even visited by a cleaner it appears. The tea and milk we used wasn't replaced. The towels, etc. were exactly as we left them in the morning until we got back at night.
The desk was unoccupied except when we first arrived.
The whole hotel appearance in general was a mixture of tacky and worn.
Needless to say, we won't be going back !

Pros:

Very run down. Broken toilet seat leaking shower. Very poor cleanliness. No communication with staff never saw them. Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it can be dirty. Won’t be back.

Comfortable rest, slightly shabby premises
Pros:

TLDR: Clean room, sheets and bathroom; comfortable bed; easy access to town and sea view. Fine wifi. Nice manager, owner not so helpful. Zero breakfast facilities, front desk rarely manned. Interior and exterior in significant disrepair, most of which would be easily fixed. Price was excellent and dogs allowed!

Not the most extravagant of hotels but was of a good standard. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only down side was the that there was no facilities for food. Bed could be a bit more comfy.

Awful
Pros:

A last minute trip,so not much choice as a Bank Holiday.
Room shabby,tv not working.water tepid and not hot enough for a bath and hairs in bath,SHOCKING !!
No food provision,and bed cheap,uncomfortable with springs that could be felt.

Gentleman that checked me in was most pleasant,and helpful.

Should have travelled further afield .
Or checked other reviews
Reason cheap and available at short notice,should have travelled firther afiel and got a Premier Inn - at least one knows what to expect.....

Pros:

We were comfortable and the host was very friendly however, the toilet sounded like a they engine when flushed and got louder and higher until it was full. About 2 minutes. We could hear other toilet being flushed throughout the night that sounded the same. That was really the only downfall though so we just used earplugs! Probably okay given the price though!
