dirty windows unpleasant receptionist

The room felt quite shabby. I noticed bird droppings all over the windows! When I mentioned this to the receptionist, she was really brusque with me. I was given a different hairdryer, but nobody came to clean the window. The 'please clean our room' sign stayed on the door all day Saturday. No one ever entered to clean.

old carpet loose tap unit

the room had a good size.

The carpet was old and the skirting board looked dusty. It clearly needed a better cleaning. there was also a red stain on the doorframe. when i tried to use the taps, the whole unit was loose. It swiveled around, not ideal.

A mixed experience

hotel bar reasonable price sea view friendly staff rusty radiator window condensation small lift

The hotel bar was reasonably priced. I found the location excellent because it overlooked the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful .

The bathroom radiator was very rusty. My bedroom window had condensation in-between the panes which spoiled the sea view. The lift was very old and small. It could use an update.

I enjoyed the sea views from my room. The included full English breakfast and cereals offered good options for the kids. The hotel is near the beach. Parking next to the hotel WAS convenient.

The room had no water. The shower mixer tap WAS broken. There were no towelling robe or slippers provided, as advertised.
