Large family room in quirky grade 2 listed building, apparently according to wikipedia Charles Dickens and King Edward VII previously stayed here, built in 1880. Towels and bed linen clean. Broken floor tile and tired decor in the bedroom, noisy due to location on seafront and single glazed windows but great views along the front through massive windows. Nice welcoming staff and a generous breakfast with great service. Massive communal spaces on ground floor. Decor all a bit dated throughout, can imagine the property in its former glory, an odd historic charm to the place. Typical old school Seaside town with arcades, pier, rides, sealife centre, fish and chips and icecream and a large sandy beach, this hotel is centrally located to it.
