Cheap but you get what you pay for
Pros:

Great location, right next to the beach, really nice friendly staff

Cons:

The bath had mould around the edges. There was limescale on the showerhead. Stains on the carpet stains on the wall from tea and coffee. mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable. The corridors hadn’t been hoovered the lift was really scary. It felt more like a care home holiday.

Never again! Not good Value for money, I would expect compensation due to the issues we had & on our wedding anniver
Pros:

Not much to be honest!

Cons:

For a large hotel, the pool was very small, breakfast could only be served on a small tea plate & very expensive for the quality, the room we were given was very bad as the extractor fan very noisy, stains on bedsheets & broken window, had to change room but only one available!
