Positives are clean, good location and free parking.
Negatives are a bit run down and noisy with banging doors.
Staff are very friendly, the room was clean and perfect place to set up base in Great Yarmouth. Had a deluxe room with king size bed which was extremely comfortable, bath had jets in it so was lovely to come back and relax in that, (bathroom was huge, could do with a freshen up and leaky pipe behind toilet that had a towel over it need sorting)
Overall had a lovely stay here and would stay again
We checked in but decided not to stay and booked alternative accommodation instead.
The room itself was tidy; however, the overall property was very different from how it appeared in the listing photographs. The atmosphere and communal areas did not reflect what we expected based on the description and images provided. The advertised restaurant was not operating, the TV in our room had no signal, the Wi-Fi was not working, and there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in the corridor outside the room.
As I was travelling with my son, who has additional needs, I did not feel comfortable remaining at the property and chose to leave shortly after arrival. I appreciate that others may have a different experience, but I personally felt the accommodation was not accurately represented by the listing and would not have booked had I known its true condition.

Radiator not working so room was cold, tap on bath rattling and water spurting out took ages to fill bath. Shared room with a dozen ladybirds..canteen downstairs never open. Unlocked and unsafe left luggage hall.i came fownstairs a few times about radiator in the night and noonf on reception rang number on desk but it wasnt regonised. Reception not manned at all times.. the room was big and lovely and location good.
The property was adequate for the needs of my trip.
I booked a family room, and it appears that all family rooms are on the 3rd floor, but there was no lift which is very awkward for people with small children, lots of luggage and the elderly.
Was very disappointed about this hotel, the pictures was nothing like the hotel itself
Needs updating, the rooms was really basic the tv in the room was no bigger than a computer monitor and the shower was terrible
I will not be booking here again
this was a terrible experience. arrived to a boarded up hotel, with a small note attached to door saying they have reserved rooms round the corner at Carlton hotel. No warning at all well this was a awful hotel so tatty and dirty. no ammenties. lots of staff but no help what so ever
came home early NEVER AGAIN. so be warned save your money G Field
