Very disappointed, food poor, breakfast was ok evening meal very poor . Rooms I had to change 3 times as they were very run down , paid extra 48 pound for sea view , room was bigger n tv bigger , needs proper updating hall stairs carpets all stained , entertainment ok Friday but Saturday awful , singer shouted most of the time , the comedian walked off due to a man being very rude no security to escort him out either . Very disappointing to say the least .

Mixed feelings. Staff great.
First of all, apart from one loud bloke one morning.on reception the rest of the staff were brilliant. Big shout.out.to.reception team and Kaylee in the restaurant. Unfortunately on arrival I couldn't park so had to find alternative during the week. I chose the room going on the photos and one were allocated was tiny, decor was tired and there was no way an adult can use the loo. That layout is ridiculous and doesn't work. Anyone other than a child would struggle. Went to reception and explained situation. They did change rooms to something like I had.booked and although bathroom.small it's layout worked for me, which was essential as I have medical needs. The 2nd room did smell of paint but looked recently refurbished and was world away from.previous. Please.if.you need a plug near the bed take an.extension.as when I asked it seems none.of the rooms have socket.near.bed.. something I've never come across and disappointed when need machine at night. Food can't fault the service. Menu repetitive and too fussy. Why can't have more.normal.choice? Older lift doors dodgy trapped.me as I entered and took too long to retract.

Terrible hotel. After checking in we asked for a move as the bathroom wasnt something id even contemplate using. Couldnt change us. It was that unbearable we ended up paying for another hotel and stay there instead

Great hotel
A excellent hotel I'm surprised it's not more than a two star. We were well looked after, being a disabled couple they couldn't do enough for us. The room was comfortable the beds were great, the room was clean and tidy bathroom had bath with shower over the bath. The buffet breakfast is good plenty of options and will cater for any allergies you may have. Evening meal was ok some of the set mains were too spicy for us but well prepared the starters and deserts were help yourself. Also they cater for couples, families and single travelers

needs a good overall
we stayed in febuary and the food was magnificent the service was not so good ,this was a gift from myhusband for my 60th birthday on10/10/23. Very dissapointed with the food choices and quaily , some guests went out to eat. The clenliness was not as good. The heating on in the cafe lounge was on which made the damp choking smell and cheap polish to cover the smell. all the tables you can scrae the dirt off,big wholes inthe skirting ,

I like the swimming pool . I did not like room 112 at all. It was shabby and smelt stale and horrid. Bedside cabinet had drawer handle missing. The window looked out onto the canopy over the entrance. And room was at top of stairs and by lifts. Very noisy and busy area. Not suitable for bedroom at all. The staff organised a different room for me.

Nice front of house but food and rooms poor
This looks like a nice hotel from the outside and the front of house areas are quite modern and well maintained. I didn’t expect top quality food and accommodation but both were far below basic expectations.

Beds too soft Too small reception area Lifts v slow Rooms need updating Bathroom inadequate and small but all clean. Great for tram. Breakfast great, loads of choice and on the whole hot, all staff smiley and helpful in all departments Would definitely stay again. Major downside and absolutely not the hotels fault was children running round even at midnight, should definitely be an adults only bar/entertainment area
