What you pay for - cheap and worth the £40
Pros:

Cheap and cheerful, nice staff

Cons:

It wasn’t hugely clean, it was quite hot in the rooms and the fan provided didn’t do much for the heatwave. It was quite basic but for the cost I can’t complain too much.

For a night or two it’s ok
Pros:

It was in a good location not far from the beach shops and pubs restaurants. Free car park to the rear was a bonus.

Cons:

It was dated and needs to have a better selection of drinks at the bar. Limited outdoor seating and broken steps. No ramp to pull a suitcase up.

Disgusting dirty place. Avoids at all costs!
Pros:

The dirtiest place I’ve ever seen. Stains on beds, droppings in room. Couldn’t stay and had to book another hotel. Not fit to be a homeless/ refugee centre which it was in the winter. Disgusting place. It should not be listed on bookings.

Cons:

Nothing
