GREAT stay!

sea views ironing board hotel location
My "premier double room" had AMAZING views of the sea from the window. The provided iron and ironing board were a HUGE help for pressing my clothes quickly. The hotel's location made it easy to reach the beach nearby.
No issues to report!

GREAT Experience!

friendly staff convenient parking helpful service
The staff were very friendly and helpful. This. The location is just right for parking and accessing the town centre! They assisted us at the last minute when our original accommodation canceled on us.
The main issue I noticed was the throw on the bed. It had stains EVERYWHERE. It seemed like the cleaners folded it, hoping it wouldn't be seen. Disgusting.

The hotel provides movie nights in the concert room at 7 pm, which i found to be very enjoyable. Bingo follows at 8:30, then a show act. This hotel has outside space for sitting with very nice sea views.

This hotel is situated just minutes from the beach, PERFECT for children. The hotel offers beautiful views. It is located in the right place for accessing the town centre and local amenities, a GREAT bonus.

stained throw no luggage storage
The throw on the bed had stains everywhere , I am sure the cleaners saw them. They seemed to fold it hoping I wouldn't notice. I also learned the hotel does not hold bags after checkout. I had to use Stasher and take my bags to Premier Inn , which was inconvenient. Staff mentioned a room for coach trips , I felt all guests paid the same price and should have equal service.
