I'm not sure about it being a 4 star, but it is a good hotel. We had problems with Parking - there is not much space for bigger cars and only 6 spaces. On-street parking needs a disc and we couldn't find where to get one so we parked on an NCP next to the mini golf. On-site was a bar, but I never worked out how to get a beer. Everything was OK with the room. Beds were comfy. Could have done with chairs that matched. >>Positives Quiet place with very little noise at all Microwave and fridge in the room were useful >>Needs Improvements Curtains were thin Shower control was really hard to move Items left in drawers Some areas had peeling paint Not enough plugs near beds Would stay here agin.

We loved it here, room had a gorgeous view and the family room wa spacious. Bunk bed was a bit creakky (but our kids were probably too big for them really.) Fab locations for the northbay side where there is lots to do. Breakfast was AMAZING!

Decent enough place to stay. Showing it's age in places but overall clean and tidy. Staff were friendly. Easy to check in, and I set off early the following morning - leaving the keys in the box in the hallway. Very convenient for the town centre and seafront if you don't mind a few minutes walk. Variety of restaurants nearby, even before you reach the town centre.
