Enjoyable stay with excellent food, clean rooms and lovely staff!
Pros:

Food was excellent. Rooms were clean. Despite being on the main seafront area, we were not disturbed with noise.
Worth mentioning the hotel provides a hairdryer, fan, water in fridge, hot drinks & bodywash.
Would recommend.

Pros:

The room was lovely and spacious and well decorated .

Cons:

This hotel was listed as adults only so we were surprised to find the the breakfast area was open to the public. The staff did not seem to be concerned that a small child was running up and down noisily past tables. We asked the family to stop the child and the father got aggressive and basically said if we didn't like it go to our room to eat. A few more things were said and we left as he seemed to be hell bent on having an argument. The family was not staying at the hotel. This was brought to the attention of the staff, and we mentioned the fact that we thought it was adults only but the young girl said that the eating area was separate to the hotel and she did not know how to deal with it. It should be noted in the website that it is not all adults only. This put quite a damper on the stay.

Lovely staff, fabulous breakfast, very clean but......
Pros:

The staff were exceptional and the breakfast was 10/10
Location excellent

Cons:

Our bedroom was sold as a Deluxe Double it faced the rear, was noisy during the night due to what sounded like industrial fans starting up. It was very hot weather so we had the windows open and this noise kept us awake.
The bathroom shower needed attention, it was either scalding hot or very cold despite following the instructions posted on the bathroom door. All of the above was reported to the hotel manager who took all my feedback seriously.
The bodywash dispenser in the shower was empty.
Parking details in the hotel description mention parking in nearby streets is free. What they fail to mention is that where the signs stating 'permit holders only' also show the letter A, this is where you can park freely. When you then check in, you can give your vehicle registration and the receptionist registers your car for the duration of your stay. We were unaware of this when we arrived into Great Yarmouth.....had we known, we could have saved ourselves £11 and an hour driving round and round streets full of 'permit holders only' signs. It's a bit pointless telling you about the letter A, after you have found space in a public carpark a mile up the road costing £11 for 6 hours.....

A Lille gem on the seafront
Pros:

Located opposite the beach and pier perfect location. The hotel itself is amazing. Beautiful clean comfortable rooms. The staff especially Lily and Morgan are a real credit to the hotel. We booked for one night and stayed for a second! The breakfast menu was very good with a good variety of. The fruit salad was really nice . I also had food from the evening menu octopus carpaccio salt and pepper squid with a side salad. Just perfect

Our stay at the ocean hotel
Pros:

The hotel location is exceptional and the room we had,had lovely views but we were on the 3rd floor and there is no lift access so climbing the stairs is a feat when you are disabled
The room was spacious and there was plenty of tea coffee milk sugar ect
The staff were really helpful and a nice cheery smile was produced whenever you spoke to them
Morgan was a lovely staff member very helpful indeed
The breakfast was superb very tasty especially the sausage, the first morning we ordered the full English breakfast there was far to much for me so the next morning we had eggs sausage and toast
I would definitely stay at this hotel again but would choose a lower floor for our room

Cons:

A few things that for the price we payed ought to be looked at
Mainly in the bathroom
The extractor fan was filthy 😳 could do with a good clean, especially if you have allergies
The sink didn't empty very fast looks like a bit of a blockage occurring 😳
The toilet seat didn't fit the toilet so very uncomfortable to sit on
The shower screen didn't run smoothly
There was a fan in the cupboard but a butterfly's wings would give out more draft
An hinge on the cupboard door is open if the other two open the door would fall off
I found some dirty marks on my pillow case
I will include pictures
I do think that mentioning that access to the rooms is stairs only ought to be first priority on the facilities not the last
