I chose The Royal for its location. I was aware that it would be noisy during the day due to its proximity to all the attractions and rides by the pier but take note if you are looking for a quiet stay! The staff were very obliging and friendly. Some of the shared areas such as the lift, rear exit and doors to the first floor need some attention. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was good pressure.

The hotel is situated opposite the funfair which was open 11am - 6pm. We requested a sea view room, therefore opposite the funfair. It was very noisy within those hours. The breakfast was above expectations. The inner stairwell to the first floor desperately needs the carpets cleaning. The double doors to the first floor landing had many cracked panes of glass, first impressions were not good. However once inside the first floor things improved, we could see refurbishments had taken place. The bedroom was comfortable and clean. The shower was very good.
