A very good all round experience, very clean and tidy albeit a little outdated but close to seafront and easy walking distance from the station and the town centre. Attentive staff and good for cooked breakfast.

Please read my review till the end. I want to leave as honest review as I can. On arrival I thought the property was a bit dated. But - please don't be put off by it. We had the most comfortable 2 night stay. The staff could not do enough for us. The apartment we stayed is a little different to whar we are used to - it took us back to 1970s sea side holiday. And gosh did we love it. We were so comfortable, the flat though perhaps in a bit of disrepair (sorry guys I'm just being honest) had so much character, was so warm, so quiet, the location was just perfect with 10 mins walk to adventure land and some stunning views on the way. Easy enough parking on the street with permit from the hotel. We booked with breakfast but we slept so well we missed it both days ! We will definitely would love to come back when visiting again. ☺️

A lovely room for a 1 night stay the staff are very friendly and can’t do enough for you. There is a small amount of car parking at the rear on first come basis. The room had tea and coffee making facilities and a lovely walk on shower. The hotel has a small restaurant with very nice home cooked food and I had a very nice full English breakfast in the morning. The hotel is a short 10 min walk to the local theatre in one direction and a 15 min walk in the other direction to the pier and funfair etc. All in all a very nice stay over in a comfortable room and I would have no hesitation in staying here again if I am in the area

Probably the best older property we've stayed in on any English coast. Didn't realise there was a bar and restaurant until we got there so missed out on that in the evening but breakfast was great! Amenities in the room were super. Iron, hairdryer, fridge, tea/coffee, fluffy towels, most importantly clean and a comfy bed. There is even a small car park, which we haven't always found in smaller hotels, so nightmare seaside parking wasn't even an issue. Will be staying here again (and the wife agrees).

Couldn’t fault this property, spotlessly clean, well positioned for the Cliffs Pavilion. The staff were excellent, very welcoming and flexible, providing a meal outside of dining hours to meet our needs. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

The hotel good value,and the hotel is in a road 100yds to the road above the sea front which has a long stretch of green area which has loverly sea views and plenty seating areas, may not be suitible for some disabed people as nearest lift to sea front is about 15 min walk.

Family friendly hotel
This was our first time at this hotel and we opted for an apartment. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. The extra room really made things ideal for a family. There was a cooker, microwave, fridge freezer and washing machine. Plus a tv in 3 rooms. There was a family next door with young kids and we did not hear any noise. The breakfast was traditional and filling and we had a dinner on the Saturday evening. Certainly will be returning.
