The hotel has a great location, had a great view of the sea, but is very tired/dated.
Breakfast was truly awful. Definitely not worth the extra money - not even a decent coffee (served luke warm out of pump flasks).
We felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff

It was due for myself but my friend ruined my trip when I had the kindness to allow my friend to come with me when my friend became aggressive with the receptionist who was trying to do her job and I felt like telling my friend to shut up and because my friend was so aggressive with the receptionist she cancelled our stay and my trip was ruined so I made my friend come back to London and go back home in Essex and anyone messes with me they get their reset button.

No water
Cannot believe this hotel continued to book guests in,even though they had no water the night before,we had no water last night and upon complaint were given a jug of water to brush our teeth etc.There are many problems with this hotel and i would not visit again.£150 for one night stay in a grotty room with no water,how can this be right,think they should pay compensation for lack of care but i know they wont ,total rip off .
