The sea view from the double room sea view was quite excellent. i appreciated the cleanliness. The room was tidy. staff members were helpful when i needed assistance with directions. the breakfast offered a satisfactory start to the day.

Live music on friday nights was quite loud. the walls are thin, so outside noise was audible. parking was limited. The hotel charged a fee for it.

a mixed experience at the hotel

sea view essential amenities shower pressure uncomfortable bed

The room offered fine sea views. I found the location excellent for exploring nearby attractions. (i especially appreciated the eric morecambe statue) the room itself had all the essential amenities.

the hotel lacked an elevator to reach my third-floor room. the shower pressure was inadequate and made washing difficult i really had problems. the bed was not comfortable.

Really good Anniversary Stay!

car parking friendly check-in high-quality accommodation lovely view

The team addressed car parking questions prior to my arrival. Check-in was VERY friendly. I received help to my room and I was pleased with the quality of the accommodation. I was also very happy with the lovely view. I could even see Eric Morecambe from my window!

I found that the internal soundproofing wasn't completely sufficient.

The room had lovely amenities and a beautiful, spacious sea view.

The check-in host was unwelcoming and rude. The curtains were ill-fitted and hanging off the track.. The bed sheet did not fit the bed, exposing the mattress during the night. Road noise was excessive because of old, thin-glazed windows.

Excellent Hotel Experience

secure parking modern room

Staff greeted me warmly. The parking space behind the building was secure. My room featured a rainfall shower and I found it very modern. The bay view from the wide windows was excellent.

The hotel lacked an elevator. Steep and narrow stairs made access challenging. I was on the second floor, a minor inconvenience.
