Unless you're on a strict budget & accept low standards - Avoid! The main building itself is nicely located (in a seemingly depressed seaside town) with a clean & spacious bar & dining area overlooking the Esplanade. The breakfast was perfectly decent! However, the room in the building (\"Lodge\") across the road was sub-par (like most UK budget hotels) but I don't think you'd find it anywhere this bad in a Best Western in the U.S.: No AC & west-facing, no room-darkening blinds/curtains (the light poured in from the sides), the mattress was a box of hard springs that you could feel & the lowest rent flat-pack furniture (IKEA would be a big upgrade), walls and tiles chipped and mouldy, flusher barely working. It's incomprehensible that the company - the brand - and the owner (franchisee?) has such low standards for service and their customers!
