Central Stay with Great Transport Links

easy accessfriendly staffgood tramdiscounted parking
the hotel's location provided easy access to shops, restaurants, bars, and the winter gardens. the promenade was directly across from the hotel. tram and bus links were good, with most visitor attractions within walking distance. the staff were friendly.
i noticed when checking out a tablet where you put your registration in to get discounted parking. i rang to ask about parking and was informed there was no discounted parking anymore. i paid £19 in a car park.

The internal windows had grime all over. I had to wipe them down myself to actually see the sea. The heating unit sounded like a jet engine, so I had to switch it off despite the room being freezing on arrival.

Charming Stay Near the Sea

central locationfriendly staffsoft towels
The location proved central to many attractions (everything seemed close by). I found the staff kind and very informative. The room provided soft towels and good curtains, a pleasant surprise. I appreciate the hotel's proximity to the railway, pubs, and the beach.
The entrance could use a bit more attention. It felt slightly unwelcoming on arrival.
