Park House Hotel
Room was great, clean and nice view. Housekeeping was a bit hit & miss. Reception staff a little clueless. But my stay was pleasant enough.

The Imperial Hotel
Room was reasonable. £14 car parking fee a massive turn off. No remote control for TV in my room; I asked the receptionist for one. I was assured a remote would be brought to my room but it never appeared. Shall not stay again.

Tiffanys Hotel
Room 328. Room was clean and tidy except the sea view was spoilt because of dirty windows. Could do with somewhere to hang your coats instead of back of the chair. Coat hooks near door maybe. Toilet/shower a little small but managed. Entertainment was good and staff helpfull. Would go again.
