Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We felt that our stay exceed our expectations, all staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble! Excellent service, definitely would return!
The breakfast was varied and fresh. The staff were excellent, Yuko on reception and Tom who looked after us with afternoon tea, where both exceptional and a credit to the hotel, both were very professional and polite. The afternoon tea was superb, and the bar lounge area was very comfortable in front of an open fire Parking felt safe, we had a Horsebox which was cater for.

Great location for minutes walk to the beach and shops/restaurants albeit all accessible down steep hills not a problem for us
Down the bottom of west hill road at the sea front is a funicular
We stayed in room 7 a standard double
Small but suitable for us and equipped for out 1 night stay
The pool jacuzzi sauna steam room were an added treat
Will be back
Staff are always friendly and helpful with lovely clean rooms. Unfortunately the lift was out of service however the team did offer to support immediately if required. Well Done guys.
The Gym and spa were Great staff was ok could be more welcoming but there were alright.. Restaurant was excellent food and staff. My room was near lift so lots of noise and footsteps.. Toilet was excellent.. Near all major locations 12 mins walk most
We had a very pleasant stay and would return. Great location, comfortable just wish parking was free for guests in the hotel car park we had disabilities and no.concession offered which was disappointing.
Hotel was conveniently located and a good standard of cleanliness. Room was small but comfortable. Service from the operations manager was exceptional - very friendly and attentive, thank you.
My only gripe would be with the cost of parking as we booked through an operator. A further £24 to park for two days is a bit steep considering the cost of the room and other services.
Third stay at this hotel and very close to both beach and promenade

A nice hotel that is looking tired. Our room was rather dusty with cobwebs on the balcony. It feels like no investment has been made in this hotel in a long time, which is a shame. Great location though and nice spa. Lovely breakfast and the staff at breakfast were great.
