Needs a refresh in places

Hotel feels tired and has a not so great smell. Bathroom really cramped. Room wasn’t serviced as requested, but reception friendly and helpful. Doors banging shut made the walls wobble and can hear other gets on the phone etc… Parking is a real squeeze, but at least they have some. Bed was comfy.

The staff were really, really nice and helpful. I can’t praise them enough. The room was reasonably clean, as was the bathroom. However, the plumbing was not so good, particularly the toilet cistern, which had issues. Bathroom fittings in need of major upgrade. One thing is that the place advertises parking for guest. However, spaces are limited and on return in the late afternoon from one trip away, I returned to find no parking spaces. I had to park on the street in a a spot with restrictions. I had to get up early the next day to move it in order to prevent myself from getting a ticket.

Our room was incredibly tiny and not practical for two people, the sink was in the bedroom not the bathroom so this brought about some problems as you can image. We asked to move but they were unable to accomodate this request. Housekeeping wasn't the best either, not hoovered throughout our 4 day stay, just bins emptied and biscuits replenished. The staff were all very friendly, breakfast was lovely we ate in the restaurant once for an evening meal, again delicious. They are clearly mid refurb, the dining areas, lounge and bar all very nice but really feel room 29 was not fit for purpose. I doubt we will stay there again. Location is great for shops alternative places to eat, the train station, nice marina and a short drive to lovely beaches.
