room unsuitable for family of 4
Pros:

girl on reception was nice but clearly working alone when hotel was busy with coach trips

Cons:

tiny box room not suitable for a family that I paid for. Lift not big enough for a pram.
poor communication with head office in regards to getting refund to a room we had for less that 1/2 hour.

It was ok I have stayed at better hotels. I don’t think I will return.
Pros:

sea front, evening meals, staff friendly.

Cons:

Appears in need of some areas updating. The first impression of the main entrance with broken tiles on the steps (which was coned off) didn’t give me a good impression. Neither did being advised by reception staff re £100 being logged on my card in case of damage. I understand this was on the booking information. I simply would not have booked the hotel had I known. The bedroom I had was nicely decorated and updated however the mattress was lumpy. I could feel all the springs in it. I ended up sleeping on top of the duvet to get a sleep.

Great value but a long walk.
Pros:

Friendly staff, spacious rooms, clean, modern downstairs

Cons:

Our bathroom was very dated. The walls must be thin as we could hear everything from next door even talking. I also didn't realise how far away it was from the town, 30/40 walk or cost us £9.50 in a taxi.
