Stayed here for one night 12th May 2012, A very nice and pleasant hotel and a lovely four poster room but probably a bit on the expensive side at £105, We booked this hotel because we were going to a show at the cliffs pavilion theartre and for that it is ideal because you can actually see the theartre from...

Stayed with a group of friends so saw four of the rooms and they were all very nice! wouldn't have even noticed the 'giraffe' carpet unless it had been pointed out on these reviews.... good buffet breakfast, very cheap rooms (worked out at around £30 each per night), lovely location, friendly staff and would definitly stay here again. I was... More

Just back from a pleasant 2 night stay here. The hotel is nicely located very close to the Pavilions Theatre & approx 15 minutes scenic walk to the Pier or High Street. Check in was quick & friendly & even though my booking confirmation stated check in as being from 1400 hours onwards, my room was ready when I arrived... More

I was directed to the lift which was just big enough for my suitcase and i would not recommend for the claustrophobic! The corridor on the first floor had been painted and there was a overwhelming smell. The room was small but adequate,... More

Stayed there for one night. It is very convenient when seeing a show at The Cliffs Pavilion. We had a sea view room which was clean with a great big bath (also had a shower). The staff were lovely and polite but very friendly. The hotel looks out directly onto the estuary. I have stayed there before and would certainly... More

Stayed here for two nights for our friends wedding. Wasn't sure what to expect from the previous very mixed reviews. We were allocated a room on the forth floor but asked to be moved as I didn't like the tiny lift so were given a room on the third floor. I had requested a sea view room and we were... More
