The hotel upgraded us to an executive seaview room & it was lovely. Great view and a very comfortable clean room. Lovely comfortable bed & pillows. The shower was great.

Great stay

Really lovely hotel, only stayed one night but the room was very clean and up to date. Bed was very comfortable and there was no noise from outside. Very well placed for the car park and an easy walk to The Laines etc. Staff welcoming and helpful, especially with the car park.
S, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff, good location, clean hotel.

Rooms were clean and location is excellent for seafront and Lanes shopping. Some of the rooms were a bit tired; my Mum’s door needed to be slammed to shut, and at 88 she didn’t have the strength needed. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Mum was worried about going away but staff were so helpful they took a lot of worries away!
