    The room was extremely comfortable with a huge bed. Tea, coffee and bottled water included too. The breakfast had incredible choices . A full English or continental, and an amazing selection of pastries , fresh fruit and yogurts. Perfect location with the beach at the front and the lanes at the back . All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful . A wonderful hotel to stay .We loved it all.

    Room close to lift, which was in use all through the night. Contributed to disturbed sleep. (Didn't ask for a room change, so that's on me!)

    Great location. Large, well equipped airy room, inc a coffee machine. Lovely breakfast. Few mins walk from pier and The Laines. Would definitely stay here again.

    Our room wasn’t cleaned one day. They did knock to apologise n to ask id we wld like it cleaned but we were getting ready to go out as it was late in the day.

    Didn’t have breakfast at the hotel as ate out in the lanes. Location was excellent. Front entrance opposite beach near pier. Rear entrance straight onto the lanes. Spacious comfortable room. Seating areas in the grounds of the hotel was a plus after a long day.

    Noisy lifts and slight worn carpets in the place detracted from the overall impression.

    Large in door atrium in centre of hotel gave pleasant place to sit and have breakfast. Comfortable surroundings and helpful and accessible staff.

    One night stay for birthday in lovely Seaview location.

    See above re breakfast. All else fab.

    Room clean and comfortable. We didn’t book breakfast for £18 as it is self service and quite expensive and 1 of us went out to a cafe and the rest had coffee in room and had lunch out later in day before travelling home at 2pm. Years ago when it was Jury’s it was cheaper and waiter service so much better for me and my family. That is the only negative thing. The lounge area and upstairs is superb with lovely sea view. We will continue to come to your hotel in future.

    The property as we entered, had dirty windows, and there were clothes strewn near the main door as we approached. I would have liked breakfast to be included in the price, as I paid £600 for two nights for two rooms. Breakfast was too expensive. The bedroom windows were dirty and the security is a little lax. Literally anyone can come in either doors and get the lifts to the rooms. As my son has additional needs, I was charged a further £20 for an hour extended check out-when most hotels over this complimentary after spending a huge amount of money. Thin walls so could hear other rooms and sounds and for a superior room I would have liked a bath and shower. Not just a shower. We also left our luggage and came to pick it up and wasn’t asked for any ticket or ID. Anyone could have taken it.

    Really great location and very comfortable beds

    Breakfast wasn't worth the cost when there are so many lovely places nearby. We won't bother with breakfast next time.

    The staff were very helpful. The room was very clean. The lifts were very quick and large enough for several people so didn't have to hang around waiting for lifts. The special rate for the The Lanes car park was very good. The Location was lovely with the sea just in front of the hotel. The buffet breakfast was very good with a huge selection of different things on offer. The Gym was well equipped and the swimming pool was very clean and pleasant

    Although the hotel has good facilities it’s all just a little faded . Whilst I appreciate that all things age I’m not sure it’s worth the slightly exaggerated pricing

    It is very expensive. We booked via booking.com and my friend booked via Expedia- her booking was cheaper and included breakfast whereas mine did not. The hotel comped us breakfast for one day but not the next so it cost us a further £70.

    Location was great. You literally cannot get better.
