"Passable won’t stay again"

5.0

Location was outstanding hotel room booked with sea view balcony

The hotel is dated, felt old and was struggling in a couple of areas. The breakfast was disappointing hash-browns weren’t crispy, soft and floppy needed 15 mins under the grill. Ordered pancakes which only found about by overhearing someone make an order and these came cold. The fried eggs were covered and sitting in oil.

Good position. Excellent breakfast

Hotel rather tatty. Put in the worst possible room. So far away from the reception. Dirty and misty window. Not value for money.

"Relaxing time but weather not great at all. Loved the fact we could have great views from hotel"

7.0

Cleanliness and facilities and location all extremely good . The general hotel seems very tired and need of updating. . Should think being on a third floor facing the sea in real hot weather the room could become extremely hot and has no air conditioning . Breakfast was lovely with good choices and restaurant nice with views over the sea. Good car park.

Just needs general improvement re modernising and updating and looking from outside it could be off putting to guests . Appreciate though this will be very expensive.
