We booked an overnight stay in order to catch an early ferry. Refurbishment has been done in reception and the bar area. The rooms look tired and stuffy, unable to open the window more than three inches. The bathroom door kept swinging open as there was no latch or lock on the door. For what it was,the price was ok.

I booked this hotel for myself and daughter after our long day in France We arrived and had trouble checking in when we got to our room well I would rather stayed on the street the room was very dirty tv didn’t work main fire door wouldn’t shut properly their was water leaks all over the walls We heard the police had been called and someone had been arrested and lot of shouting didn’t feel safe as door wouldn’t shut so we had to put chair up against the door so nobody could get in very thin walls as so we could hear the neighbours snoring very noisy outside Very very disappointed we had a 3 hour drive home the next day we ended up leaving at 3 am as couldn’t stand anymore did not feel safe at all
Water leaks everywhere

Stayed In one of the sea view twin rooms, Upon arrival I found the hotel entrance to be very dark but clean. Our room appeared clean but definitely needs a revamp. The bed mattresses don’t fit into the bed frame so was lop sided and had springs sticking up. Only one pillow was provided so I asked for another which was quickly suppled. The shower was either freezing cold or very hot so couldn’t shower. Overall one night stay ok but I couldn’t stay any longer than this. the hotel rooms need an update

The pictures advertising the room are deceiving. Was quite dissapointed to find a very shabby small double on our stay. The room is quite old, hasnt been maintained well with dingy corridors. Moreover we found a parking penalty for parking on their property even though we were customers of the hotel and parking should be free!!!!!
