I'VE HAD A LOVELY STAG AND ROOM WAS VERY CLEAN

We arrived at the Hotel around 2:30, on the outside, it looked very pleasant. We checked in and we're shown to our room. Unfortunately the room had black mould on it, the bathroom light didn't work and the carpet was dirty, I went to reception and asked the receptionist to come and have a look, she agreed that it was not suitable, we waited for half an hour before she had found another room. The next was on the first floor, access to the room was very narrow, once inside I was happy that this room didn't have mould. After a closer inspection, I found that the bath was filthy and had dirty and paint in it, the towel rail collapsed after putting a towel on it. The double bed consists of two singles put together (any chance of a romantic night went out of the window). The only good thing I can say about this place was the breakfast. If you don't mind a filthy place to stay , then this is for you, I personally wouldn't recommend it and won't be returning. The room service was non existent.

Slept like a baby, Breakfast was great and the ladies staff are awesome, off street parking was a plus, few meters to the beach. The shops were mostly closed at this time of the year, health walks are a must as the beach length is endless. I will be back.

We've stayed here on and off for years. Sadly it's gone down hill considerably. We stayed in room 3 which has a sink right next to the window not in the bathroom. Room was freezing heating went off All the times .We had to ask for a heater. Which to be fair we was given. No beers on tap and only odd can.. Breakfast has gone down hill massively. Had a evening meal The first night was ok . Staff although young was very helpful. Sadly I couldn't recommend staying here. So will definitely be our last time. Sad really because it used to be great.

Not good. First room offered smelt terribly of cigarettes so asked to move. Next room no light in bathroom and no heating. Given an electric heater that blew the lights tv and kettle. Won’t be coming back here anytime soon. Staff were nice to you till you turned round and then spoke about you between themselves. Signs about food times were inaccurate and if you asked to eat according to the signs staff very abruptly said too late my shift ends soon and I’m not staying. Rubbish and the 4 star with awards they tell you must have been written by themselves.

7 of us checked in to this hovel. First impressions were it's old and tatty, then I went into my room and what a shock. The smell of bleach immediately made me aware things were not going to be good. The shower hose had such thick black mould it was disgusting. The staff very quickly removed it to clean it. The "bathroom was a toilet and small shower crammed into a tiny space, the hand basin which was tiny was in the bedroom. The shelf was so close to the basin that brushing your teeth was an acrobatic feat. Then, the worst thing was when I closed the bathroom door, a previous guest had smeared faeces on the wall and dropped some on the floor. Are the cleaners blind? As I mentioned there was 7 of us, and one of the guys got bites all over his body from bedbugs. We moved out with still 4 or 5 nights remaining on our booking. The manager didn't even ask why we were handing in our keys but proceeded to say "see you later", no dear, you won't.

On arrival told the heating was only on at certain times. The food from the restaurant was almost inedible, either burnt or cold. No telephone in the room should there be a problem. There wasn’t the warmth of greeting as was there a couple of years ago. Won’t be going again.

This hotel does not deserve a star rating, & I believe that it doesn't have one. Broken & damaged furniture & cast-offs. Threadbare carpets, & showers that do not work properly. The bed was clean & in good order, & everything else was a disaster waiting to happen. The food service & cleanliness were a one minus. There is nothing more that I can say about this dive.
