A pleasant overnighter
Pros:

On site car parking and a good breakfast were 2 key benefits of this hotel stay. The bedroom had all that we needed, we had a good night's rest. The seafront location is pleasant, one can buy a drink from the bar and relax outside in front of the hotel.

It's alright
Pros:

The staff were all really nice

Cons:

The floor squeaks and there is a door on the second floor that plays a chime when opened I could hear from my room.
I was staying for a cheap hotel but it was like a pensioner's graveyard in there

Great hotel, great staff and great location
Pros:

Room was clean, comfortable beds, free parking, clean bathroom, staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful

Cons:

Only some very minor things; lift didn’t work but staff proactively offered to carry our luggage up and down the stairs so wasn’t an issue at all.
The coffee is instant in the restaurant where we had our breakfast (but good food offer) and the juice wasn’t juice, but more like cheap squash with sweeteners instead.

Would not stay there again
Pros:

Location was good and breakfast not bad

Cons:

Had to park at the rear and carry my luggage around to the front which meant going around the road! I was unable to lock my door but staff were not interested, the bed and pillows were hard and the room very hot as window could not be opened to far due to being on ground floor. I had no view only back yard plus for older people with disabilities the lift was not working. Clearly the hotel does not have soundproof ceilings/floors as the room above were noisy early morning.

Was Ok for the one night - wouldn’t want to be there any longer I’m afraid!
Pros:

Great location and were able to park outside the front of the hotel too so that was fab!

Cons:

It was VERY dated and in DESPERATE need of refurbished and decorated bedrooms and bathrooms. Wallpaper coming off the walls - and ceilings! Brass(!!) switch plates and sockets were very old, scratched and dirty. TV not even on the wall straight. Paintwork badly in need of attention throughout the hotel. Water pressure for shower very poor - just enough for a quick sploosh! Would’ve taken hours if I’d wanted to wash my hair. Floor of bathroom very squeaky and noisy as were the door hinges into the room - so no quiet early hours visit without disturbing each other!! We were on the third floor - lift was out of order, so goodness knows how those elderly folk got up to their rooms!!

Pros:

Great location, right on the sea front. With complementary parking and very comfortable beds.

Cons:

Bathroom was nice and clean but a little small for a family of four. I am no complaining though!
