"Close to promenade,excellent buffet breakfasts, parking spacious,room very quiet"

"I paid a premium rate for a room that was in a state of disrepair. I booked the premium sea view double room. I filled in the check in andadvised te breakfast card had been filled in by the previous guest and the fridge had a terrible smell when it was opened. The hotel manager called me the following day and offered me a courtesy buffet breakfast. The buffet breakfast was terrible. The bacon was rubbery and dry, we closed the lid of the scrambled eggs straight away as they presented so badly. The juice was watered down and both the coffee machine and the coffee in a flask was undrinkable. We stuck with fruit toast and tea. The server looked like she had been crying. The next day I paid for a coffee in the bar area. A different server took my order, I paid and then she disappeared for 20 minutes. I was left sitting alone in the bar waiting for my coffee. She later returned and noticed me sitting there and made my coffee and told me she forgot. Throughout my three night stay, further maintenance was reported. The air con was leaking, I received a return email to say that maintenance would attend. I then discovered that the shower head would not stay up along with several other maintenance items reported in the same email. The shower head was replaced by maintenance without us approving access or being notified that they were attending. I notified the hotel manager but received no reply. I am very disappointed that this room was available to book as it was in such a state"
