    Great location, we stayed in a classic room with sea view and the view was stunning. Lovely room. Hotel is also situated directly opposite the BIC. Great breakfast and lots of choices.

    We found nothing we didn’t like

    It is central to all we need during our stay. The reception staff are very friendly & attentive. The breakfast offers variety & was very nice both days. Staff again were polite & helpful at breakfast. Our room was clean & tidy with all we required.

    Didn't realise we had been allocated an enormous ground floor accessible room. Being next to reception, it was quite noisy at times. Would have much preferred a cosier, smaller room on a higher floor.

    Friendly staff. Clean. Great location

    Lovely big, light, and airy room. Clean and well presented. Good selection of tea / coffee in room, also bottled water and very nice buscuits. Bed was firm (too firm for my husband). Very well soundproofed, could barely hear anything from ourside the room. The Tower fan was a god send as room was on the ground floor, and I didn't want to leave the window open wide. Room service was available and reasonably priced. Toiletries were provided, we only used the soap though. Staff were very friendly and happy to help. Good choice for breakfast. Brilliant position for BIC or the Pavillion. Right by the beach too.

    The room was hot due to a sunny day, and the offered column fan is insufficient from a comfort level. Room lighting and available plugs could be better.

    The location was excellent - safe and convenient for the BIC. The staff were friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the parking offered as a solo single female traveller. The restaurant was also excellent, with a special shout out to the delicious hot breakfast a la carte. A really good night sleep in comfortable beds. Good water pressure in the bathroom. Clean.

    Not much. Rooms are a little dated but had character.

    Excellent location for both the BIC and Pavilion. Short stroll into town too. Parking at BIC was convenient. Sea view from our room - AND, the sun came out. Crab restaurant was very nice.

    The breakfast wasn’t great. Poached eggs were hard, non branded sauces and baked beans were dreadful , orange juice warm coffee in a flask unpleasant. Overall nice stay but breakfast let it down ! Also I found a gold earring under the bed so hadn’t been vacuumed underneath.

    The hotel is right on the front and our room was a lovely sea view.The staff were friendly and we were check in / out quickly. You need to pay for parking £14.00 on top of the price a night so a weekend stay can get pricey .

    There was insufficent staff on in the bar after the event, and we had quite a wait to get served. Also, there arent many power points conveniently located in the room for charging multiple devices.

    the location was ideal, as we were attending an event at the BIC. The rooms were nice and clean, the beds were comfy and the breakfast very tasty

    Bath was a bit slippy when taking a shower and although there was a notice about requesting a mat if needed, this wasn't seen until later.

    Great location to stay when going to the BIC - have stayed here several times. Staff very friendly & really good breakfast.
