Cleanliness
4.5
Multiple reports of unclean rooms: stains, hair, uncleaned toilets, and one room with bed bugs leading to checkout; significant negative impact on cleanliness perception.
Service
8.8
Staff repeatedly praised as friendly and helpful (Chloe called out); staff responded promptly to complaints, though some staff were seen covering cleaning duties due to issues.
Location
9
Consistently described as excellent/ideal — beachfront, on the promenade, and close to restaurants and amenities.
Room Quality
5.5
Mixed to poor: some comfy beds, but many mentions of very small rooms, awkward layouts, collapsing or unsafe bunk beds, rock-hard sofa bed, and maintenance issues (shower fittings, rails).
Amenities
7.5
Entertainment and family-friendly features (pool table, shows) praised; bar described as well-stocked; some maintenance problems affected amenity experience (shower rail, fittings).
Value for Money
6
Several guests felt disappointed given the price (confusing/paid parking, lift issues, small rooms); some felt it was acceptable for short stays.
Food and Beverage
7
Breakfast was often praised as good/excellent and well-stocked, though some criticized the carvery, coffee machine quality, and lack of GF options.
Overall Experience
7.7
Many guests reported an enjoyable stay due to staff and location, recommending the hotel; however, serious cleanliness and room-quality incidents (including a bed-bug case) tempered overall impressions.

Important information:

At the Jubilee Hotel West, we are connected on our lower 2 ground floors and share facilities and our team with The Jubilee Hotel East. At times your booking may be moved into The Jubilee Hotel East- this is mostly done as we feel that a room in that wing may suit your requests better, but it may also be done for maintenance purposes. If you are ever moved wings, we will keep you in the same room type you have booked or upgrade you.

Cancellation and Payment Policies:
• We clearly display cancellation policies on your rate plans, and we do adhere to them. If you book on a Non-Refundable rate, you get a discount and we take payment as we process your booking shortly after you book, no free cancellation will be given no matter what the reason. We do not accept cash on arrival on this rate plan if you wish to pay cash please select the Fully Flexible Rate.
• We also display a Fully Flexible Rate plan where you can cancel free of charge until 12.01am the day before arrival and we then process your payment once this free cancellation runs out. If you wish to pay cash on arrival on this rate plan, then please speak to reception.

• Between 10pm-8am we operate a Quiet Hours Policy where only the registered guests on the booking (submitted on arrival) are allowed in the room and you face fines if you are inconsiderately disturbing other customers.
• An adult must be in each room unless you arrange with the property extra security measures. Anyone below 18 needs parental consent or supervision to check in.
• We have an outside smoking area. Any smoking in our nonsmoking areas which includes the entire insides of the property, and half our Restaurant Garden will face up to a £250 fine. This includes Vapes.
• We are a dog friendly hotel, and we provide a pet friendly section in our restaurant. You face fines if you leave your dog unattended in your room for more than 10 minutes, your dog is not on a lead in public areas, and if you intentionally take your dog to urinate in our Restaurant Garden (as this is astroturf). We will only accept 2 pets per room, and we advise not booking Bronze Rooms for pets.
• Extra Occupancy- we advise you on what we think the best occupancy of a room is- if you choose to bring an extra small child or put an adult in a bed, we advise for a child then we will not stop you but we will also not offer compensation it did not meet your needs. We will only charge extra if we have provided an extra bed or an extra breakfast.
• We will charge late check out fees if you do not vacate by 11.15am.

Useful Information:
• Soon after you book you will receive a Brochure directly from us of useful information and our services.

• Mobility Requests- Please check with us in advance if we can accommodate your mobility requests. We have 3 elevators, and only 1 fits wheelchairs, mobility scooters (and prams). The elevator that takes wheelchairs goes from our Lower Ground Floor, (Reception, Spa and Restaurant) to our Upper Ground Floor only. On our Upper Ground Floor, we have 13 rooms, and another 3 rooms up 8 narrow stairs. We do not offer disabled room types, but we have tried to make the Upper Ground Floor Rooms as accessible as possible. But please check with us before booking that these rooms are available and that they suit your needs. Not all our Room Types have Rooms on the Upper Ground Floor so it’s also very important that you book the correct room type. Also, while the majority of our rooms have elevator access, not all do, so again please check with us if elevator access is required so we can allocate accordingly.
• Annex Extension- Please note that we have 6 rooms our extension at the back of the hotel. Please let the property know in advance if you would prefer a room in the main hotel.
• Housekeeping- In recent years we have stopped automatically doing room services as more of our customers preferred privacy to a Housekeeper knocking on their door at 9am. However, we of course do not want this to get in the way of good customer service and so:
o At our Reception, we have a glass cabinet full of lots of extra free supplies, help yourself at any time these are free and it is unlocked.
o If you bring us your wet towels, we will exchange them for fresh ones.
o If you would like your room cleaned, please request it the night before and we will schedule you for the next day’s list. This will of course be free.
o Also, all of our toiletries are in dispensers in our Bronze and Silver Tiered Rooms as we have gone eco-friendly and limit our plastics.
o Cots- If you require a cot please check with the hotel that your room will fit a cot, otherwise you may need to upgrade to a room that does. Also please check we have one available and they are not all booked out. Cots are £10 per night, and we provide a sheet but after that ask that you bring your own bedding so that it suits your child’s needs. Alternatively, you are welcome to bring your own cot and then we do not charge for the extra child in the room.Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.
A deposit may be required at the property.

Very stressful, got no sleep in uncomfortable beds, sofa bed is rock hard
Pros:

Fresh drinking water available at all times.

Cons:

Being aggressively phoned just before arrival, I had to clear the call 5 times in 2 minutes.Then to be told that our room wasn't available! Being squashed in to a room for 3 when there was 4 of us. Paid for gold room for 5 as im a disabled lady need my own bed, My grandson had to sleep on the floor. Told by booking in lady I dont look disabled, I was forced to use 2 flights of stairs after being told there was a lift to my room. Then shouted at when I said I informed you I was disabled, as in Hotel by messenger, and I got a reply, she said I never told her! I have a terminal disease, this was the last time I could take my grand children away, so I made the most of out trip to the sea side, but the treatment from this booking in woman was awful, and the room was bad too.
