At the time of booking I requested a room with a window and emailed last week to ensure this request had been noted. I received a call from my parents... More

A very disappointing hotel. The rooms were incredibly small for a double, there was no air conditioning so the rooms were incredibly hot. Food was dreadful though we only had breakfast. There was no Internet services outside the main lobby and the signal was very weak. The pipes were very loud especially when trying to sleep. There were only 2... More

Lovely old building but in dire need of investment. Stayed just the one night in a 'Deluxe' room.. (deluxe purely as a result of having a sea view apparently). Room was clean enough, bedding clean etc. but furniture was aged.. Shower nice and hot (well, hot anyway). Had a balcony, which was a plus although our neighbours were smokers so... More

No parking and the reception staff were ignorant, the man who checked us in miss counted the money my husband gave him and made a racist comment about not being used to foreign money!... More

I have never laughed so much and so hard in my entire life as my one night here. I can't believe places like this still exist. I stayed one night with my friend last week and I am still laughing now. I could not have packed enough sequins if I had tried. The cabaret, the mobility scooters, the spotty concierge... More
