Cheap and cheerful
We stayed in room 15 right at the top floor, the carpet between the two rooms was soaking wet. The carpet it nailed and screwed down and if you have barefeet it hurts. The mattress on one of the bets had a spring sticking out at the very bottom if you sat there it was sticking in you. The shower pressure is terrible. The curtains had what looked like a cigarette burn hole in them and half hanging off the rail. The only good this was that it was a sea view room

Shouldn't be allowed on hotels.com
Avoid unless your crazy or very very desperate. Didnt read reviews before booking and couldn't afford to walk away on arrival and stay elsewhere. The pics of property are correct but most of the community areas is storage for crap,our room smelt and wasnt as clean as it should be. We are glad we took our own towls,I had to fix curtains so people couldn't see inside while my wife was changing. The carpet was patch work and nailed down so pain full if you need toilet in night and forgotten your slippers.the mattress on the bed was as old as Blackpool tower and felt horrible to sleep on. The breakfast comes with its own health warning very undercooked eggs,hashbrowns not cooked,out of date jam, the glasses on the tables were filthy not just on our table but on all the tables.

Hotel should be closed down,fumigated and renovated! Was greeted by 2 men sitting in what should be a diningroom, crockery all dressed on tables which where dirty and and still left from breakfast at 6pm. Was shown to our room and felt unsafe the moment i was shown the door. The manager then decided to show tje broken bathroom door with no handle which must be closed when sbower in use as it leaks onto bedroom carpet! The tv was off the wall and just sat on top of the wardrobe,sockets hanging off the wall, the door was all broken down the panels and although it was a digitl lock did not feel secure and safe.the beds where filthy pillows stained,shower to dirty to even consider using, the dust under and around the bed frames are the worse i have ever seen. My 10 yr son started crying and begging us not to stay here as he felt scared and unsafe, and as a female alone with a child i felt this too. And with in 20 mins i walked out with 2 bites on my anckle i may add! Do not stay here, the pics advertised must be atleast 10 years old no rooms look the same. Found a safer and much cleaner hotel for the same price other end of the same street named the marlow lodge. Do not book here it is filthy and unsafe regardless of price a toilet should be clean and a door should close and lock securely.

As its under new ownership they're finding their feet, needs a bit of life breathing into the place. Needs new toilet seats and shower heads and a lick of paint. VJ was very helpful and accommodating, he even bought pizza for the kids. I would happily stay again in the future, perfectly situated opposite south pier

The owner was very polite & friendly. However the property is very dirty and run down. The room we stayed was run down. The bathroom smelt of urine. There was also a pool around the toilet. The bath mats smelt of urine. The bedding didnt smell clean and the carpets in the room were filthy. Corridor carpets full of stains. Walls were stained and the dust was inches thick. We will not be returning to this property.
