charming getaway near south pier

pool table fried mushrooms amazing staff perfect location

the hotel bar area included a pool table, my youngest child loved this. i found the fried mushrooms at breakfast to be an absolute delight. the staff were amazing, they could not do enough for us. the hotel is very close to south pier and pleasure beach.

i noticed a slight need for modernisation in the room decor, but it didn't detract much from my overall lovely stay

the hotel is convenient, a short distance from both south pier and the promenade. it allows for easy access to local attractions, the vibrant atmosphere is close by, yet the hotel retains a sense of peace.

breakfast buffet many choices good staff awful smell creaky beds wall proximity

The staff seemed friendly. The breakfast buffet was quite good. It had many choices. The bar area was big (I didn't try it, though).

The beds were too close to the wall in the family room. The beds were also very creaky. The bathroom emitted an awful smell.
