Where did they get 3 stars?

The bed was so uncomfortable we couldn’t sleep. It also had a musty moldy smell like it had been very wet. Because we were on the top floor it got to be unbearably hot, which definitely made the smell worse.

It's well situated fot the Theatre, easy walking distance, close to the sea front, the hotel was reasonably priced, it was more than adequate for one night, bathroom clean and tidy, the bed comfortable, everything was to hand. I have paid a lot more for far worse. Would i stay again, a big fat YES.

Property was still under construction when we arrived which was problematic for us given the young age of our children. Management and staff were very accomodating and did their best to resolve issues. Once all work is complete the hotel will be a really lovely place to stay given its great location and super friendly owners!

The property itself has clearly had some work done on it. The room was clean and well presented. Customer service could be improved upon. Breakfast was okay however, the gentleman taking orders was in his outdoor coat and on occasion not all breakfast was delivered to the table clearly forgotten about.

Honest review, not up to advertised expectations.

we were disappointed with the room, it was not one room i booked. But it got sorted, we got moved to right room. TV wasn't working completely, bad reception and could only watch a few channels. There was no tea/coffee machine as advertised. there was no plug for the bath. No glasses and no water as advertised. The emergency evacuation information was in a draw, not on the back off the door. There was was no hotel information in the room. Breakfast was OK and breakfast staff were very good.

Very disappointing stay

Very disappointed with our stay. Looked at all the reviews before booking. I am now wondering if the reviews are real. The hotel staff didn't seem to have a clue when it came to customer relations. The hotel reception was dark and the receptionist was constantly on her mobile phone. There was no secure parking as advertised. The bar didn't have lemonade or bottled water and when asked for a drink the staff looked at you blankly. The breakfast was limited and when it did arrive it was cold and tasted stale. The evening meal was the same meal all week. Such a shame as it has such potential. We ended up going to the hotel next door for a drink.

I would recommend this hotel if you dont mind stairs and dont need any help from the staff. There is a lift but there are still so many stairs and long corridors. They were prewarned I was disabled getting to and from our 2 double bedded family room (which was nice, clean, quiet) with 2 young children, pushchair and luggage was awful. Not once would they offer to help, even watched us struggling! Steps up to the front reception. Steps down to the lift. Many sets of stairs up to the room ( 1 had stair lift which we had to lift the pushchair over) long corriders. Exhausted we were happy to see the clean family room with 2 comfy double beds and a large bathroom. Very welcomed. Tv in room but reception awful, couldnt watch it. We booked this hotel for the Air show and the parking which was at the back of the hotel, garages £15 a night. I eventually was allowed to park by the garages which was easier for my disabilities. Make crystal clear in a email your requirements. I paid a whopping £155 for 1 night (Airshow price) so i did expect a little welcome and help. Expedia didnt help with thier invoice system The hotel was very convenient as ran parallel to the centre of the flight display 5min walk which was fantastic. Lots of restaurants, cafes etc etc close by.
