On entering the hotel we found the decor clean and the receptionist very helpful. Our double seaview smoking room with spa bath was clean and tidy, the bay window with table and chairs was an advantage and gave a view of the town and sea. The spa bath was great and worth the extra money, the bed was clean though... More

What a shame ! Beautiful building, with stunning features, yet shabby, dated and in urgent need of a facelift, Luckily we only paid £40 for the night on LateRooms, but full price was £100+ or so it stated. Our room was a basement room, advantage..very quiet, but a pokey, dated room with grimy windows that where broke, a tv from... More

On arrival the staff were somewhat stand offish, room was on the small side on the road side of the hotel which made it very noisy with traffic and bars and clubs open until the early hours.

Upgraded room was lovely with sea view and spa bath though at £20 per night extra thought it a tad expensive. The food was mediocre and not much choice. My main complaint was the receptionist. She was very abrupt and miserable. On the up side our waitress in the Worrell restaurant was very pleasant. More
