Great value for money hotel!...

Liked: in great central location, near be beaches etc(walking distance) hotel was quiet. Great value for money as room was very cheap. kettle, tea and coffee provided which is always good!
Disliked: room could do with a freshen up, blinds twisted and bent letting through lots of sunlight, shower temp hard to balance either boiling hot or stone cold!

Passable

Disliked: Some pillows had a very bad smell. They only left us one roll of toilet paper, and there were five of us. They didn't leave us soap in the room. The beds were fine. The shower door was a disaster.

Not worth the money, filthy

Liked: Location was a plus
Disliked: The shower head popped off and shot water everywhere soaking all of our things we had in the bathroom.The shower door literally fell off, so not pleased that it could have hurt someone if they weren’t paying attention.The carpets weren’t hoovered. There was left over debris in all the drawers like dirt and oatmeal??The beds were… fine, but considering it’s meant to be a family room, not very big and definitely not worth the price. Doesn’t help the windows were filthy aswell

Disgusting

Liked: Location was great
Disliked: hotel was not! Staff were very concerning on arrival and questioned everything! No remote for tv WiFi turned off at a certain hour! Kettle was broke took 45 mins for someone to respond! And when the new one arrives it was full of limescale and dust! Spoon was not clean and had ketchup from last persons stay! Absolutely gross! Windows do not close properly bathroom had hair in the shower from last persons stay. Do not recommend this place to anyone DO NOT STAY
