Only had room only, it was a nice room, parking is a bit hit and miss, the lifts are also a bit hit and miss. Stayed here quite a few times and would stay again and i would recommend it
Nice clean room,polite staff,perfectly situated nxt to the harbor and a good deal for parking whilst you stay.my wife and i always stay here when visiting and have never had a bad experience.
The location was beautiful. First room did not have hot water. We got upgraded and the second room was perfect.

We had an enjoyable two night stay. Our room was perfect, clean lovely Seaview oh but the windows actually needed a jolly good clean and the hotel is in a really good position just to go walking to the shops and to the Lower Leas which was absolutely stunning as was the Upper Leas, so yes it was all good! 😁

Disliked: Cleanliness
No room service, had to go to reception to obtain toiletries and top up tea&coffee,the noise from the band every night was loud.On the plus side the food was excellent and both food and drinks reasonably priced staff excellent .
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Only there 2 nights so adequate for what we wanted. We had a balcony which had a nice view as hotel was on the sea front.
The bath needs changing as very stained. Fortunately we only shower and used the mat to cover it otherwise may well have asked for a room change.
Staff friendly and evening entertainment good.
Free parking
Very good location. We were able to park our car in hotel's car park for a £5 a day.

Okay and value for what you pay
Room and hotel were tired, but this was reflected in what we paid for it.
Perfect for an overnight stay before picking up the Shuttle which is 15 mins away.
Plentiful buffet breakfast for an additional £12 pp (but only £10.50 if we’d paid there), however it was swimming in grease and we’d recommend giving it a miss and picking up something at the terminal.
Always use this hotel , clean , comfortable and central . Friendly staff

Okay for the price
This hotel is suitable for a short stay of one or two nights. The room is very basic, and the hotel's condition could be improved. It's important to note that you get what you pay for; this is not a luxury hotel. However, the location is great.
Room was spacious, with a balcony, lovely sea view. Good place to stay for a night.
There only appeared to be one lift working, which meant quite a wait especially has most people had luggage.

A single room with a view of the harbour, that was unexpected but very nice. Room was spotless. Only fly in the ointment, people in the next room, kept their tv on all night so not much sleep. They turned it off when they went for breakfast. Overall, this was a enjoyable stay and would definitely return.
