The staff were one of the most welcoming we've ever experienced in a hotel.Leanne was a gem & couldn't offer enough help.Ashley was a very helpful & chirpy Duty Mgr.Louis was a Mgr who turned his hand to anything that needed to be done in the hotel & really cared about staff & guests.Our room very clean & the bed extremely comfortable.We were given a sea view on the side of the hotel.Some suggestions that I discussed with hotel staff were:need for bedside lights & more than 2 plug sockets.Internet connection in room was very sketchy but strong in reception.Self-service continental breakfast was more than adequate.Choice of cereals,fruits,yoghurt,freshly warmed pastries,toast & spreads.Wide choice of coffees from a machine & a choice of teas.Plenty of seating available.There is an elevator. Considering we stayed during a busy Bank Holiday weekend,we still managed to find a parking space every day.Street parking outside the hotel is free 6pm to 8am.The hotel provided parking vouchers for 3 hours parking at a cost of £2.20 per 3 hours outside of these times (subject to number of tickets allocated to the hotel by the council).Unfortunately,the council had not provided enough vouchers to cover the holiday weekend.Although not their fault,the hotel was very apologetic.If vouchers are unavailable,parking is payable via a phone app at a higher cost,although cheaper than areas closer to the pier/town(about 10-15 min walk).Free road parking is available in streets away from seafront.
