Without doubt the worst place I ve ever had the misfortune of staying in! Absolutely horrendous!

My girlfriend and I booked back in Feb to stay here for the August bank hol weekend, the hotel looked decent and was a good location and cheaper than most other options available..sounds good right?? Wrong!!

We arrived at 12pm on Saturday, told we couldn t check in until 3pm as room wasn t ready (slightly late? Even on the continent it s usually 12pm-2pm). We asked if we could leave our cases at the hotel (we had planned a walk along the beach/lunch etc) but were told we couldn t, although the receptionist didn t explain why. (This was despite seeing a review in the week we travelled thanking staff for allowing a visitor to leave their luggage at the hotel)

We both questioned the receptionist and asked in that case if she knew anywhere that we could store our luggage as they couldn t and were met with shrugged shoulders and a distinct lack of any care.



Once in the room we quickly discovered it looked nothing like what we had seen, tired, dreary and dated (part of me was wondering if I d pitched up at Alf Garnett s house) we put the cases down and unpacked and had a look around and look what we found...

- A disgusting and dirty wardrobe absolutely covered in dust inside and on top (dust on my hand from above the wardrobe)

- Dusty lamp with a broken lampshade
- Dusty trouser press
- Dirty, old kettle full of limescale
- Dusty, scratched bedside table
- Dirty, scratched bathtub
- Broken and chipped bathroom tiles and sink
- Dirty and stained armchairs (including 1 with a tear in)
- Stubborn, stiff and difficult to open windows (great when you have no air con!)

We would be still there taking pictures if we highlighted every issue. You almost had to laugh it was so bad!

We thought it couldn t get any worse but roll on Sunday morning, as my girlfriend is washing her face the tap comes loose and starts spouting hot water everywhere!! I called maintenance and were informed they didn t start until 10am (it was 8:30am at the time) we simply had to use the towels we had and hope it would stem the flow until maintenance arrived.

Once cleaned up and sorted we headed out and were met with a foul stench of garbage emanating from the corridors (seemingly through a staff/storage room) upon our return over 3 hours later this has not dissipated, somehow staff sat there eating lunch as well.

We had a booking for the pool at 4pm which we attended and were given towels for, however the pool was dirty, outside of the pool there were used tissues and an empty bottle lying around and debris and dirt in and atop the pool.

Thankfully we were near the end of our stay, we went out for the evening and incredibly the rest of the time in the hotel we survived unscathed despite struggling to sleep on bobbly uncomfortable pillows!

On the Monday we were given no indication of what time we d be checking out and had to look online for ourselves. We were just about to leave our room and we received a knock on our door from maintenance man number 2 saying he was here to fix a tap laughable.

I m baffled as to how anyone would think that is 4* accommodation, I wouldn t class it as 1* and my review would be 0* if Google made it possible! (Do it please google!!)

I would rather have spent 2 nights sleeping on the National express coach, in fact I d rather have spent the 2 days learning to be a half decent contortionist and squeezed my way inside my case that this absolute sham of a place made me lug everywhere!

Appalling in every way!!
