Liked:
Proximity to train station
Proximity to pleasure beach and south pier
Staff friendly
Bath
The poached eggs freshly made
The cooked breakfast
Comfy pillows (choice to add more pillows)
Easy to check in
Luggage storage with tags
Disliked:
No muesli for breakfast both mornings despite listed on menu
Cannot leave windows open even short period of time due to flies/beasties (left open for 1 hour while at dinner and room was infested)
One shower gel, one soap and one shampoo sample between 2 isnt enough
Gym has no weights or mat
Slow draining sink in room
More fruit and yoghurts would be good at breakfast
I also don't like 2 beds pushed together to make one double bed
Overall it wasn't any better than Premier Inn or Travelodge so id probably book there next time or go Deluxe if there's a deal available.
Hotel was very clean and staff was very helpfull.
Food was very nice

Lovely hotel, but run down, iron didn’t work, no fridge in the room, shower wouldn’t turn off, maintenance said keep turning until it turns off, my misses struggled to turn it off I did it all the time. Would not return here
Staff very professional. Bar and restaurant very good
Only problem we had was given 2nd floor room.
Had requested ground floor due to our mobility, even though was booked and payed in full months before
However, we are in our late 60s and one of us has crutches, they provided and completed a PEEPS form.
We will be going back, and hopefully get ground floor
A few nights stay with the family, and can not fault the family room for space.
However, a few little issues:
Breakfast - £27 per adult per day and a very small offering. Not worth the money
Parking - £20 a night unless you book direct and still £10 a night for space they already own.
Saturday Night - Late night rides until 9:30pm are room had a very towards the park which my 2 duaghters under 3 enjoyed, but not the noise when trying to get them to sleep.
Would of been nice when checking in to be informed of this.
Bar - The bar area is way to small for the venue and the amount ot people staying.
Lovely clean hotel friendly staff.
Breakfast was disappointing.
Bacon and sausages were not good scrambled egg like warm.
Nice to be able to order poached eggs and porridge also if you wanted gluten free abd vegan.
Tables in the evening need clearing quicker.

Great location for park
Me & my wife took are grandson to the fun park . Stayed in the big blue great location
And good for parking. Hotel is now over 20 years old and does need a bit TLC .
Well-maintained hotel, ideal not just for amusements, for venturing up and down the coast. Very comfortable bedroom with good quality furniture, including a desk and chair and 2 comfortable chairs. A bath and shower. Very good selection for breakfast.
Phoned reception for both rooms not to have housekeeping during stay, only to be knocked on both bedrooms each morning for housekeeping and then letting themselves in while still sleeping.
Great hotel right next to the pleasure beach. We got a free upgrade to a superior double room. The bar prices are are the going rate not the usual hyped up cost. We will definitely be staying again.
We had a lovely stay here. Everything went really well. The staff were lovely, the hotel was beautiful, the food was really good and the parking was easily accessible.
