Good value and comfortable. Exterior could do with modernising but interior more than makes up for it.

No pool. Good enough stay
From the outside this hotel looks a little sad and inside there was some nice elements. The public area furniture for example. Dont be fooled there is NO pool although advertised and hasnt been for a long time. Service was friendly and the breakfast plentiful and we recommend booking ahead for £7pp on Hotels.com as its double at the hotel. Bed was comfortable and room basic but clean. Overall, ok price for an ok hotel.

Traveling as a family of four with older children, no lock on bathroom doors, room with sea view was a good size but other room was a bit small for our needs. Dog was allowed which was brilliant. Room was great for a short term stay.

Great for one or two nights
The breakfast was decent (eggs rubbery however), but a great selection.
The room was clean, with two bathrooms (one disabled access and one without). There was people running up and down corridors at one point at night and slamming doors and knocking, on the upstairs floor. but the reception didn’t answer when I called down (unless they were sorting the culprits out as it did stop eventually)
Bar area looked nice. We didn’t sit in it however but looked decent.
The person on reception was really nice.
The outside of the hotel doesn’t look appealing I’ll be honest, but it’s fine once you walk in.
Car parking free once you validate your registration.

Very pleasant - Never judge a book by it's cover
The hotel looks pretty tired from outside but rooms and reception area had been updated to an excellent standard. Breakfast was great with plenty of choices.
Only slightly negative comment is that the breakfast was served in a large ball room which lacked atmosphere. A few flower arrangements separating the tables from the large dance floor would have made the difference.

Our room was spacious and comfortable, but very hot, even though two portable fans were provided, because the heating pipes were permanently on, but even so, the availability of hot water was unreliable. Lovely view of the beach and across the bay to The Mumbles.

This place sucks!
The property was so disgusting that we chose not to stay there and refused the room. The property was extremely outdated and misrepresented in your ad. It looked and appeared to be a slum in a major American city decrepit and in disrepair. The lobby was like lipstick on a pig. I will be disputing the charge.

The outside of the hotel looks very run down, the rooms are clean, comfortable beds, however, the corridors need updating and redecorating, lovely dining room and the staff are excellent 5 stars for dining room and staff, excellent staff at the reception area too. All in all we had a lovely weekend don’t let the outside put you off

The location is great . The food and service is excellent.
Hotel is a little tired and has a few layers of paint .
Bed was comfortable. Shower overbath was usable the water was generally hot but fluctuated.
Would probably stay again as the price of the room reflected this.

You get what you pay for
Nice welcome and impressive lobby but the rest of the hotel is terribly dated and needs a good overhaul.
