A nice seaside hotel, but...

Liked: The location was excellent. If you like to be opposite a lovely sandy beach, near good fish n chip shops, restaurants, amusements, not far from Hartlepool and other surrounding areas, then this is a fab hotel to stay at. The hotel itself is really nice, a lovely old building. My room was nice and roomy, comfy bed, t.v, kettle with tea/coffee etc, nice bathroom. The shower was excellent, very good water pressure! There was even an anti-slip bath mat hanging in a lil bag on the back of the door. I'd brought my own as I'm so scared to slip.
Disliked: The noise! My room was on the ground floor (which I'd requested) but it was also directly (the window overlooked) the back of the kitchen and delivery's and bins. On Friday morning, someone was out there, banging doors and putting glass bottles in the bins. It was 6.15!!!Then on Saturday morning, the same thing, at 5.45!!! I'm not joking. I filmed it. Then a delivery van arrived, right outside my window. Also, the floors are very creaky. In my room and also the room above. I heard every step of whoever was in the room above me, even using their bathroom. The floor was also very uneven. I think the rooms on the upper floors would be better, but do think the hotel should let visitors know that certain rooms are noisier than others. If I knew my room was next to what I've described, I'd ask to move rooms, or wouldn't chose this hotel in the first place.

Wonderful stay and would recommend

Liked: Room was spacious and clean. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Nothing.

Not great,

Disliked: Power outage for most of the night. Not the staffs fault however when asked about power returning staff were more interested in serving bar locals for cash rather than room guests getting a decent sleep

Very good

Liked: Good breakfast
Disliked: No lift
