The hotel offered excellent rooms with beautiful paneling and decor; however, it appeared tired with some cleanliness issues. The location was convenient near the High Street and the beach, but the traffic noise was a downside. The service was friendly and well-organized, though the dining experience had some limitations. The facilities, including the garden and parking, were well-maintained.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant and comfortable. The rooms were a good size and bright with a sunny bathroom, though slightly dated. However, the inability to control heating individually was a downside. The service was exceptional, with kind and efficient staff. The location was great, close to the town center and other attractions. The dining experience had its flaws but offered fresh and tasty options. Overall, a good value for money stay.

The hotel is conveniently located near the bus stop, railway station, and within walking distance of the High Street, shops, cafes, and seafront. While the rooms could use some updating and were a bit chilly for the price paid, the central location makes up for it, offering easy access to various amenities and attractions.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were a bit old and could benefit from some maintenance, but the front-facing room on the first floor provided a view of the main road. Despite not being as warm as desired, the limited time spent in the room made it bearable.

The hotel's location was ideal for exploring the town, as it was near essential facilities like the bus stop and railway station. Easy access to the shops, cafes, and seafront added convenience to the stay.

Dining

The dining experience was reasonable, with a self-serve breakfast including cereals, pastries, and fresh fruit salad. The cooked breakfast, although waitress-served, was a good addition to the meal options.

Facilities

The hotel offered basic facilities, including a strong power shower. However, some areas, particularly concerning hygiene, were not up to expected standards.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were sadly in need of maintenance, with low water pressure in the bathroom and erratic shower temperatures. The decor looked outdated and poorly kept. On the bright side, the hotel was clean and pleasant, though could use some refurbishment. The staff were generally good, but the manager's unhelpful attitude was a letdown. If considering a return stay, I'd definitely want to inspect the room beforehand.

I was a bit disappointed with the changes in the dining experience and room layout at this hotel, but the friendly and helpful staff made up for it. The hot shower and noisy ventilator shaft were minor inconveniences, but the location was ideal for exploring the town and enjoying the nearby train station. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some dishes not meeting expectations, but overall, it was good value for money.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On one hand, the rooms were nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable, but being allocated rooms on opposite sides of the building made it difficult, especially with children. I must also point out that the added extras like tea making and a fridge in the room, which Gil at the reception kindly sorted out for me, were greatly appreciated.
