The Southcliff Hotel

The Southcliff Hotel

8/10 Good
"We stayed in room 105, it was clean, didn't see any cleaners over weekend stayed Fri - Mon , bed very comfortable, very small toilet shower room, no extractor, the shower could of done with a slide pole to avoid wetting hair, balcony small but sufficient to sit outside sea view, very hot in room, fan supplied in wardrobe, but only one spare plug socket, which was annoying charging phones drying hair, hairdryers available at reception, the staff are happy to give extra tea, coffee milk just ask. Don’t know about parking as got the train there, about 10 minutes walk to station, Good location not far from town, harbour, Saturday & Sunday free music at bandstand couple of minutes walk ( summertime) The place is an old building not the Crown Jewels but you get what you pay for, friendly staff , and a good stay"
