A nicely located place to stay, near South Cliff. Staff friendly and helpful on check-in. Pillows on the bed not very comfortable though and our double bed wouldn't be good for anyone tall. Very generous with the tea/coffee etc in the room. We would stay here again if in the area.

Good location for getting out and about. I think parking in the area could be an issue but transport links are very good. Bit of a hike to the upper rooms but we knew this before we requested an upper floor. Room very big and nicely decorated although some work needs doing to the ceiling. Tea/coffee well provided. Exceptionally clean. Internet very week at times and ITV an issue even after you've signed in as signal too weak. Didn't need to interact with any staff. Getting keys etc very slick if staff not available - no issues. Can be a bit noisy in room 8 depending on who is staying above. Overall, a good stay and would use again if in the area.

Staff absent at check in. Breakfast served off-site - no mention of this on the web. No bar which was pictured. Unneccessarily complicated street parking arrangements. Felt completely mis-sold and ended up staying elsewhere instead, despite paying for 2 nights and leaving after 10 minutes.

Lovely, large room. Very friendly staff at reception. Note that the walls are a bit thin between rooms and flats in the house next door. Otherwise, perfect.
