Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Faulty towers book somewhere else
No hot water till evening on first day
Second day also problems with hot water as did other rooms the staff made us aware it’s an ongoing problem … noise from upstairs apartments horrendous… dirty lift 7 smashed glass panels on doors as you enter hallway to rooms
No bed linen or towels for child has to
Ask … sofa bed rock hard shouldn’t be in there as bed ! Cobwebs all over the place wouldn’t advice staying unless desperate
I chose The Royal for its location. I was aware that it would be noisy during the day due to its proximity to all the attractions and rides by the pier but take note if you are looking for a quiet stay! The staff were very obliging and friendly. Some of the shared areas such as the lift, rear exit and doors to the first floor need some attention. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was good pressure.
Generally the property and surrounding area was very good for local amenities easy access to all shops beaches very good car parking
Unfortunately I am a disabled driver and only one disabled car parking area which was very narrow
After returning to my car after a two day break I found my car had been damaged the car park is not owned by the hotel

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The hotel is situated opposite the funfair which was open 11am - 6pm. We requested a sea view room, therefore opposite the funfair. It was very noisy within those hours. The breakfast was above expectations. The inner stairwell to the first floor desperately needs the carpets cleaning. The double doors to the first floor landing had many cracked panes of glass, first impressions were not good. However once inside the first floor things improved, we could see refurbishments had taken place. The bedroom was comfortable and clean. The shower was very good.
Fantastic service speedy check in nice reception area no issues hotel was very clean and tidy this is the 2nd time we have used the hotel
The hotel is a stone throw from the beach and a 5 minute walk into the town center
