Good size room, and it was nice to have the sofa bed already made up for us. Really warm too, which was unexpected for a room with four windows facing the sea!

Nicely decorated room was light and spacious, everything we needed was right on the doorstep. Staff friendly, nice clean bathroom. Could do with some cleaning and repairs in certain places but overall nice hotel and would stay again.

The hotel is nice, breakfast was good. The bar is good. The room was good, however the shower was awful. No pressure at all. Just a dribble of water to wash yourself.

Lovely clean hotel

No longer a best western hotel as just been sold. A little tired in places with the decor but extremely clean. Good service and a very good breakfast. Hotel over looking the amusement park but didn’t have any issues with noise during the evening as it closed early. Good off road parking and Easy walk to the metro station Would definitely book again.

Good location

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Just a couple of gripes. Only 1 chair in a twin room, and you could feel the mattress springs in each bed!! Could do with replacing those. Great location on sea front. Didn’t try the restaurant so can’t comment.

Firstly we were offered a room, in an annex completely separated from the hotel, about 60 metres from the hotel itself. It had only 1 small window, the size of a toilet window, that opened onto a lightly covered alcove, which was not secured from the outside so security was a big concern. The room itself was ok, but very outdated for the asking price of £120 per night. The carpet entrance to the hotel looked as though it had. Ever been vacuumed or cleaned with black marks everywhere, old and very dirty. It also had No elevator to reach the two upper floors. Housekeeping had taken over 2 of the largest rooms on the first and second floors as that part of the equation was missing from the hotel management it seemed. Our room was upgraded to a room inside the hotel by the night staff who were very helpful compared to the day staff who were less than helpful. No toiletries were supplied after the first day, light fixtures were both broken and replaced with other broken light fixtures in our room. And the list goes on

Sleep in a skip. The view is better.

The hotel is basically falling apart and shouldn’t be trading at present. Paint peeling off every wall because of damp, broken fixtures and fittings, stevie wonder as a painter and decorator, double glazing that may as well not exist. It was quite sad, I would be embarrassed.
