Reasonably priced single room with great view over the harbour. Bedding was clean and crisp and room of a good size. Bathroom very clean and adequate. Slightly squeaky floorboards and sound from room next door but to be expected in a hotel of this age. Comfortable lounge to have a drink in the evening and look at the water.

Good Seaview from large room. Bed matress requires replacing. As the main purpose of our visit here was for somwhere to sleep for a night, this has to be marked down as bed was terrible.

Worse room I have ever had for the price. Had to call the manager to see how dirty it was. Room was not available at check in and for three quarters of an hour. Heard other guests complaining, too.

I didn't even stay. Saw the disgusting state of my room and filthy bathroom and left. Got a refund. This isn't a 3* hotel.

The property was a bit dated. We were in room 207. The floor has an incline in it, which wasn’t the best. You would get out of bed and feel like you have had to much to drink. I do have a video of it but it won’t let me post it

Staff were very courteous and helpful. The Hotel itself is looking very 'tired' and in need of a makeover. The skirting board in our room was dusty, the curtain lining was badly torn and the bathroom was in need of a deep clean. The (black) shower grouting hid the fact that there was black mould between the tiles. The window bay had visible rain damage that had been patched up but was left in an unsightly state.
Damaged window bay.

Bar closes very early; limited selection of beer (No ale on cask or in bottles) Breakfast coffee would be better if there was actual coffee in it! And the way of dispensing it is poor. Reception open late in the evening is a good point.
