Booked for a short trip away - room was adequate, clean and fresh, cleaned each day,we were not expecting a five star stay and we found the breakfast to be adequate and filling. Staff were excellent and polite.
Yes, the poor hotel could do with a lot of TLC but we found it OK for the price that we paid for our quick getaway.
Nice new TV in the room but unfortunately we had hardly any signals so the aerial/sky system needs updating. But we didnt go there just to watch T V!

We have just returned from a 4 day New Year break with David Urquhart travel staying at this hotel. We were concerned about what to expect as the reviews were saying that it was not a good hotel. We need not have worried as it turned out to be a lovely friendly hotel, it was clean comfortable with excellent food, staff could not do enough for us. There was entertainment each night including bingo Janice was the caller what an experience. We had one excursion which was to Ipswitch, if you get a chance don't miss it as it has plenty of shops and some lovely architecture.

...having read the reviews we dreaded arriving,but for the fact we could not get anything else as it was for New year, we had no choice. Although old fashioned it was clean, the rooms were spacious, it did not smell of smoke anywhere,the beds were comfortable, and no mould in the bathroom. The staff couldn't have been nicer very obliging and cheerful especially in the dining room. Janice on reception was very welcoming and helpful. Our full English breakfast was more than adequate and delivered to the table with a smile. Our only issue was that Room 120 has the bar fridge motors outside the window which work at all times so we found the noise annoying which did disturb our sleep but might not effect other people. It was good value especially as this was over the New Year holiday period and as we have family in the area we will be staying again but would request another room. Try it, you too might be surprised!

Stayed for a couple of nights in this hotel. Rooms extremely old and very basic, and in which you could smell cigarette smoke....eww!! As a nonsmoker not very nice. Told owner/manager who was totally rude and unsympathetic, staff
looked scared stiff of him!
Food average, could probably do a better job myself!
A maze of corridors that you could easily get lost in if there was a fire and a coffin sized cranky lift that you can just barely fit yourself and luggage in LOL!!!
If your looking for a basic stay and not worried about comfort or customer service, espesh from the owner, who I take from previous reviews is a Mr.Singh, then this is the place for you!!
Only thing going for this hotel is it's location by the sea....which says it all!!
I don't normally like to speak negatively about things, but felt I had to, as didn't want other people to have to an unnecessarily poor experience and have their holidays ruined.
