We recently stayed at the Broadway for a tinsel and turkey weekend as part of a coach group. I would like to thank Ian Paul and all the staff there for the excellent welcome we were given, The staff were friendly polite and accomodating-Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return in the future

There was no one around in reception when we first arrived, it wasn, very welcoming.
The young man that took us to our room was friendly, we asked if he could bring our cases up, his reply was only if we were with a coach tour, we are three pensioners.
On entering our room we were most disappointed has when we booked were promised a front room,we over looked roof tops plus we were on the top floor.
When mentioning it to the manager all we got back was a sarky comment.
We were asked to go down for breakfast at 9-15am after the coach tour had finished this we didn't mind,on entering the dinning room it just looked as if we had arrived in spain with all the spanish knick knacks, when we recieved our full breakfast the first two mornings it just looked as if it had been kept warm for ages the bacon was hard, the following two mornings were very nice we wondered if it was a different cheff.
They could do with more staff at meal times has the tables were not cleared away when we got down we had to wait until they cleared a table for us ,the staff looked stressed.

Must mention the beds, we went out to buy some fleeces for the beds as we could feel the springs we didn,t have a good nights sleep over the four nights we were there
We wont be returning.

We stopped for two nights at the Broadway Hotel in August 2011, two adults and two children in a family room. The family room was a double bed with two singles. On arrival, we parked up outside the hotel and even though we were too early to check in and our room wasn't ready, the gentleman on reception was happy for us to leave our car outside and gave us a ticket to put in the window and asked if we wouldn't mind returning later. This was fine with us and off we went.

We were very pleased with the location, right by the sea front, about a 10 minute walk from the pleasure beach and south pier and five minute walk to The Big One.

Due to the price (we paid £90 in total for all of us for two nights, our 11 year old child was free), we weren't sure what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised on entering the room. It looked clean, smelt fresh, clean towels, not too warm or too cold, just right. Tea and coffee making facilities (these weren't replenished by the cleaners though). There was a lift too, so no need to climb lots of stairs with your bags.

The en suite toilet and shower room were fine, did the job, but nothing special, although I did notice a sweet wrapper next to the toilet bin on arrival that was still there two days later, when we left.

Maid service was fine (apart from the sweet wrapper in the bathroom). There was also a television in the room, but the digital signal was sometimes a bit ropey but maybe that's because we were by the coast, I'm not sure. On the first evening, we couldn't get the TV working at all, but a gentleman came up straight away and sorted it out for us.

The beds were very hard, but in fact, we had a great night's sleep - sometimes they say a hard bed is better for your back than a soft bed anyway.

There is entertainment downstairs in the evening, but to be honest, it was a bit cabaret and old fashioned for our liking, so we didn't stay and watch it. There is also an on site bar.

The breakfast was fine. Not a big breakfast, mind, but for what we paid, we were very happy with it and it didn't bother me as I'm not a big breakfast eater anyway. There was a big coach party there on the first morning and it was suggested that we turn up for breakfast a bit later as it could get hectic down there. On the second morning, it was quieter and the staff weren't so rushed off their feet.

On the morning we checked out, they let us keep our car parked out the front until we wanted to leave in the afternoon, which was very good of them.

All in all, we were satisfied with this hotel, with the location and it was better than we expected for the cheap price we paid. I would have no problem with stopping here again.
