I imagine this hotel is wonderful in the Summer but it was absolutely freezing, the heating wasn't even turned on in the building, there was no extra blanket or duvet in the room provided. When I told reception the next day I got blamed for not saying beforehand but wasn't told that customer service was 24/7 when I checked in? Other than that breakfast was average, room was clean bathroom tiny

Lovely stay as usual, but I must say, that although the Bar is supposed to be open 24x7, some theatre goers and I, were waiting 15 mins to get served at the bar, we were told by the Night Porter, that he had just come on!! I think if they advertise this service, bar 24x7, then it should be service at all times, as the Theatre goers said, it was one of the main reasons they booked the Hotel, so they could get a drink after the performance. Everything else was great service, Spa facilities are very good, pool open early for a swim, 7am and they have members too who use it!! Great facilities!! Great stay!!

Good location, 10 mins to the pier (20 back though !) We stayed in the Lodge and the room was fine. Good breakfast, plenty of choice. My only grumble was the bathroom. As an older person I had a problem getting in/out of the bath in order to shower. No additional rails.
