Excellent place to stay, everything about place was great.
Building a little tired, but clean and very comfy new bed.

Very happy with the hotel. Some areas are looking a bit tired but the bedroom was very clean . Spotless bedding and towels. The dining room was great with views out over the sea. Lovely food and great staff . The entertainment is fab and saved us going out at night after a long day walking around. The tram stops almost outside so a bonus. We did walk in twice so used it one day . £6 for a day , on and off as many times as you like . We chose a room with a bay window overlooking the sea, this did not disappoint. I would recommend this hotel if you want an adult only venue. Good value for money. Parking on site , bonus. Great position for south pier which is lovely.

Some areas of the hotel were in need of refurbishment especially the hallways and the dining room. Our bathroom was also in need of refurbishment!
