Not bad. Usually when staying at budget hotels I tend to go for the newer types like Holiday Inn Express. My previous experience of older hotels, especially former grand dames like this has been pretty poor. I didn't book the hotel, which is how we ended up staying here, but I was pleasantly surprised and although the interior decoration isn't my cup of tea, everything else was fine.
The location is ideal as it's right in the heart of town as well as being next door to the beach.
Our room was clean, the bed very comfortable and I had a great night sleep.
We found the bathroom to be a fair size with decent water pressure for the shower, although I'm not a fan of showers over a bath.
Breakfast was good too. We both went for the full English with toast and left feeling satisfied. The coffee though was weak and it's a shame as everything else was nice.
The big question is, would I stay here again? The answer to that is yes and hopefully they read this and learn how to make proper coffee in time for my next visit. read more
