The hotel is a bit dated but clean,friendly and helpful staff apart from the security personnel who didn't seem to understand it was a works party for a large company and not a nightclub full of undisierables they were rude and if anything trying to cause trouble. Breakfast is limited but the food was ok. I would stay there again.

Comfortable but a little tired

My stay at the Riviera was what I expected from a seaside town, it was dated, but comfortable, the room could do with an update but I slept well, breakfast was everything I needed.

Amazing hotel

Amazing stay. Great bed, nice hot shower, lovely spa facilities included, delicious breakfast buffet (full English) and they upgraded us for free to a room with sea view. By far the best “low budget” hotel I’ve stayed in in England.
