"Once we got used to how it all functioned we enjoyed our stay."

6.0

The room was very comfortable and the staff very helpful. The breakfasts were delicious.

The Harbour Lights Hotel is not really a hotel; it is a part of the Royal Britannia Hotel over the road where one has to go to register, have breakfast, find a lounge, see the harbour etc. The Harbour Lights is just a collection of rooms, very nicely decorated but without the other facilities you expect from a hotel. There is no parking either.

"Great location."

8.0

The rooms have been updated and freshly painted. The bathroom was clean and the shower was great. The location is fantastic and it's a bonus if you have a room with a sea view!

The bedroom floor wasn't especially clean. Parking is an issue - but you can park up a side road next to the hotel between 6pm and 10am for free (plus one hour during the day time).

"Ideal room for very basic stay if you are out all day and just want a bed and shower."

8.0

The location was very convenient for the beach and town, lots of close pubs and restaurants. Very basic room but clean and comfortable enough.

Very small room of which you could hear noise from other neighbouring rooms and upstairs, doors slamming and creaky stairs. Very basic with minimal comforts. Shower pressure quite low and not always as hot as it could be.
