Comfortable functional room, friendly, helpful staff, parking can be a bit difficult, especially as there was an event on the Western Lawns all weekend, but with perseverance parking can be found and is very cheap, £2.35 for 24 hours when purchased at the hotel. Overall, a relaxing stay.

Disappointed

The Citrus is in need of updating especially the bedroom. We had a seaview but could hardly see the sea because of the net curtains which were dirty and the bad condensation. There was no bedside lights, an old bed, very bad plastering and peeling and even a cobweb and spider in the window ! Old bath panel. Old spotlight hanging from the celing. What was good though that it was spacious, a new carpet and a walk in shower. Continental breakfast ok...

Unhappy Stay

We arrived at the hotel and had to wait to check in for 10 minutes because no one was around and they had no bell to ring for assistance. The room we stayed in was not clean, especially the toilet which had poo stains down it and the smallest amount of toilet roll, these were rectified when I complained. The bathroom door also didn’t close which was embarrassing for our teenage son who didn’t want his parents to hear him on the toilet. The heating was on all night even though the radiator was on Zero which made it an uncomfortable sleep. For what we payed to stay at this hotel we expected the room to be much cleaner and better presented.

Comfy room in a great location. Games room too!

We had a great stay here. We were at the top in a huge room with a large walk-in shower. It was clean and comfy, and all the staff we met were friendly and welcoming. There's a games room in the basement with sofas, a pool table and table football, and it was nice to socialise with other guests for a bit. It's well situated for the Wishtower part of the seafront and we had great views from our room.

What accessible room?

I booked this because it said accessible room. What they don't tell you is that there are 9 steps to get to the reception before you get to the accessible room. There is no lift or ramp to take a wheelchair into the hotel. My mum had to climb out of her wheelchair and use the steps which caused her real pain. This is false advertising because the room is only accessible once you've climbed the 9 stairs, which defeats the whole object. Picture is of the stairs which have to be climbed to get the ACCESSIBLE room!!!

Nice but tired

Great location, friendly reception staff, well kept but very tired. Room was huge but bathroom showed a lot of timescale on taps and shower screen. Towels were also stained. Staff at breakfast were just too in your face, to the point of nosey about what you were taking to eat. The Scottish lady was also unprofessional moaning about other diners with food they had left. Otherwise, breakfast was a good selection and enjoyable.
