They didn’t have room for us, we slept in the street, we took a shower on the road and they didn’t nothing and we tried to contact with u but u (Expedia) didn’t nothing too I am seeking reimbursement of my reservation in full, together with compensation for all expenses I incurred as a direct consequence of the hotel’s failure to provide the accommodation that had been confirmed and paid for. This includes, but is not limited to: * Full refund of the reservation price; * Transportation costs incurred while attempting to find alternative accommodation; * Additional food and drink expenses; * Medical and medication expenses resulting from the physical consequences of the incident; * Any other reasonable expenses directly caused by the hotel’s failure to honour the booking and failure to provide suitable alternative accommodation. Furthermore, I seek compensation for the significant distress, inconvenience, anxiety, humiliation, and psychological trauma suffered as a result of being left without accommodation during the night, despite holding a confirmed reservation. My claim is supported by the following legal principles and legislation applicable in England and Wales: 1. Consumer Rights Act 2015 Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. Failing to honour a confirmed reservation and failing to provide an appropriate solution or alternative accommodation constitutes a breach of this statutory duty. I WANT MY REFUND

Very bad experience, we did not get a room at the hotel, they did not refund the money, it is impossible to contact the hotel. They take money from people and do not have any free rooms, the worst experience with you.

I didn’t even get to stay here. They were over booked and I didn’t find out until I walked through the door to check in, so I was left without a place to stay. Had to sleep in my friend’s bed and breakfast. I have still not heard about my refund and it is now the 27th of May.

The first room we were offer smelt of someone smoking ganja inside. We changed to another room, this had no smell and was basic. During the course of the evening, on about 3 occasions people tried the door to the room between say 02:45 - 03:20. There was lots of work going on in the building and I guess they are trying to improve the hotel.

The hotel is in need of a renovation, bathroom tiles off, toilet leaking. Our room was not serviced. There were no other facilities, food, drinks etc. The only positive thing was that the kind young man on reception went to a local shop for ice for our champagne.

Ermmmm...

There were no staff during check-in hours and I had to wait for a while until someone showed up. The door of the room was easily jammed. I was once stuck in the bathroom and had to ask my friend to push the door from the other side to rescue me. The sink was clogged too.

It is an old hotel currently under refurbishment. Friendly staff are doing what they can to be helpful in a run down hotel. I would only revisit when it has been fully refurbished, which will take a while. The new owner was welcoming and enthusiastic about the job ahead of him. Very run down but beds clean and tea in the room. You get what you pay for, and it was very cheap. I wouldn't recommend the hotel unless you are watching your pennies. Good luck to the refurbishment.

We were told on arrival there were problems with our room but the hotel was full. No hot water. Room very hot with radiator on? Window would not open so no ventilation. There was a fan but it just circulated the hot air. No plugs in sink or bath. No TV been removed. Asked for glasses which staff got for us. Asked for an extra pillow twice never arrived. The receptionist offered to move us on our second day but we decided not to move. Great location but tired and dated. Staff pleasant and tried to help.

This hotel is in an excellent location, 4-5 minutes from the beach and was the best priced hotel for a family on a very tight budget. The hotel has parking and there was plenty of space making arrival a stress free experience and it was even better to find out from the friendly reception staff, that if we were to pay for the parking using the code inside the hotel then the parking would be even cheaper than we thought. The hotel was definitely in need of renovation and a deep clean of the shared areas and hallways but this was made very clear in emails prior to our stay and we were happy with taking that as a small con against all the pros. Our room itself was lovely and clean and they provided everything we needed. We were delighted to see they had provided two fans for our quite hot third floor room as I've previously had an experience with a hotel very close by that was higher star and did not even provide that. There is a pool table free of charge near reception that the children enjoyed whilst waited for clouds to disappear and the staff were happy to provide as many tea, coffee and milks as we needed and we're big tea drinkers! Over all Russel Courts was a lovely hotel and for those who are on a tight budget and would love to give their children a seaside experience during the very experience school holidays, this is a great hotel. We would definitely visit again.
