The room was just about acceptable however the bathroom was completely unacceptable. Like a cupboard with nowhere to place personable possessions. The windows did not close properly therefore the road noise was severe.

My room was at the front of the hotel with an amazing view of the sea front from 3 huge windows. A classic old English seaside hotel with a lot of character, seems to be slowly and unobtrusively getting some updates - think my room has been recently refreshed and another nearby was being decorated, but it wasn't at all disruptive or very noticeable as it went on. Had everything you need and seconds away from the sea front.

Friendly place to stay

Clean and friendly place to stay no frills stay. The room was freshly decorated but no pictures and the lighting was harsh with no bedside lamps. The WiFi was poor with no internet in the room. Staff were helpful and friendly great for a visit to the theatres.

Staff were great. Only thing we thought it really need to be improved is breakfast. Even a few more items like cheese or salamis and maybe a few patries. Just a few extra items.
