Dave from Hornchurch, GB (Mature couple) 26 February 2008

Our stay was very enjoyable. The room was very comfortable, breakfast was good, the bar was pleasant and the service from the staff was excellent. We were visiting the Cliffs Pavilion for the night and the hotel was very well placed and convienient for this purpose. I would stay here again recommend it to others. (97621967)

The instructions to reach the hotel were very clear and we had no trouble parking once we had arrived there. We were welcomed in a friendly manner and without delay. Our room was spacious, clean and welcoming with all the added extras.ie. trouser press, hairdryer, tea/coffee making facilities to name a few and Sky tv. We made ourselves that comfortable that we didnt visit the venue, ie the casino as intended and decided to stay in! (97668831)

positive comments It was very clean and comfortable. A lot of thought had been put into all the items provided

I chose this hotel based on location, cost, customer ratings and ease of booking. I was not disappointed. It was intimate and cozy. The staff went out of their way to make my staff pleasant. (97644444)

positive comments Friendly helpful staff, pleasant atmosphere, great breakfast
negative comments Had to ask for some linens once when a couple of pieces were removed and not replaced but this was quickly taken care of.

The breakfast was not so great,also self service, not a problem but plates were not taken once other people had finished and so we were limited where we could sit. Also the door bell must of been right outside our door, it was very loud , but not a nuisance. Over all we were there only one night, but it was enjoyable. (99347105)

positive comments Staff very friendly. Nice room, clean. Great bathroom AND showe.
negative comments Poor reception on some of the T.V channels.

diana from Reading, United Kingdom;GB (Group of adult friends) 24 July 2006

Car parking: I was told that there was limited car park space. When I checked in I got the last space, but was told that if I then left it to go out in the evening it could not be guaranteed to be there for me on my return! I booked this hotel because it had four starred. I do not think its amibience and facilities warrant this. Breakfast room extremely hot. Hotel thou advertised as 6 mins walk away from restaurants shops etc, it was a lot further. Would not chose it againl. (3305021329)

positive comments Upgraded to lusury flat, lots of room.
negative comments Considering it was a luxury flat it was not luxury. Dark rooms and facilities not up to standard.

I found the hotel welcoming and comfortable, however, we went for the compact double and found that it was a little too compact for appreciation. The breakfast was of a good standard and buffet style and was very enjoyable, however, I did feel that the breakfast/dining room was too small to cater for the amount of clients. The hotel states that it has a car park but the car park can only accommodate about eight to ten cars so be prepared to park on the street as we did. The location is a comfortable 10-15 minute walk to the seafront. (3305040955)

positive comments I liked the fact that the accommodation had everything that you could need for an overnight stay in it.
negative comments The compact room was far too compact to enjoy.
