Solid stay, prime location!

good size room sea view three lifts
The room was a good size with a sea view. Unfortunately, the patio doors did NOT open fully. My room request was listened to and met, which I APPRECIATED. My family was delighted with the view from the room overlooking the pleasure beach and pier. There are three lifts available to all floors.
I paid £20 for my dog to stay. This seemed a little pricey, especially since it was non-refundable. Our room was pretty big, nice, but it didn't seem cleaned properly. I found a half-drank wine behind the curtain. The air conditioning was also broken.
Rooms
8/10
My room was spacious and included an iron with ironing board, useful. The bathroom had a shower. I think more hooks in the bathroom would be helpful for hanging towels and clothes.
Dining
9/10
A tasty breakfast included bacon, sausage, and egg cooked to order, a fantastic idea. The restaurant had a good view of the pier and sea. The bar and restaurant are located in the Park Inn.
Location

The hotel is located near the train station and high street with an abundance of shops and restaurants. It is across from the pier. I found the hotel to be in an excellent location and very central.
Facilities
8/10
The gym was full of safety equipment for most workouts. The front desk operates 24 hours. All facilities you would need were available, including towels and washing toiletries. The lifts were very quick.
