My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was clean and nicely equipped, it didn't quite meet the expectations for the price paid. The service was friendly and helpful, with a standout excellent breakfast. The location was convenient for exploring the town and enjoying the nearby beach, but the dining options were a bit hit-and-miss. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

I felt like I found the best place to stay! The rooms were spacious, the bed was comfortable, and it felt like a home away from home with the lovely White Company products in the bathroom. However, being on the top floor meant using stairs only, which could be a downside.

The location was perfect, with an extremely short walk to the seafront, local amenities, and being ideal for Leas Cliff Hall, the harbour, bars, and restaurants. The stylish part of town near the seafront made it a great place to relax.

The breakfast was nice, plentiful, and the staff were happy to accommodate any requests. However, there was a bit of a letdown with the taste of tea. Despite that, the service felt like being in your own home.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and clean, and I loved having the fan during the summer. However, it was a bit of a downside to pay extra for a room with a bath. The service was excellent, especially the complimentary drinks offered. The location, although with some run-down neighboring properties, was still fabulous with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of options. Overall, a great choice for a relaxing getaway.
