The hotel is in a fantastic location, right near everything with beautiful sea views. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is super friendly, always ready to assist. However, the rooms are a bit small and there was some noise from the street. Overall, it felt like good value for money given its proximity to local attractions.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed overall. The location is fantastic, right on Morecambe's sea front, and the size of the room was generous. However, the room had a musty smell and lacked a view, which was especially disappointing since I was celebrating my golden wedding anniversary. While the service was friendly and attentive, the overall experience could use some improvement, especially regarding cleanliness and facilities.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, especially enjoying the quiet annex rooms with beautiful sea views. The room was clean and reasonably furnished, although it felt a bit small for two. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who were really helpful despite our late arrival. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore the area and enjoy affordable meals. However, I found the breakfast options to be quite limited, which was a bit disappointing.

The rooms were really attractive and comfortable, although I had a bit of trouble with heating. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. However, the breakfast options could use some improvement, and it was a bit annoying that parking was at a local pay and display.

I stayed at this hotel recently, and while the location is fantastic, right across from the Eric Morecambe statue and the sea front, I had a few issues. The rooms were clean but had some noise from seagulls at night. The service had its ups and downs, as we faced some confusion with towel service despite the initial friendliness. Overall, there's great potential here, but some improvements are needed for a better experience.

I had an interesting stay at this hotel, which is centrally located near amazing attractions, but it comes with some downsides. The service team was incredibly helpful and friendly, which made a big difference during my stay. However, I found the rooms to be a bit challenging, especially with the noise from the bar below and the need to climb several flights of stairs. Overall, it has potential, but there are areas that could definitely use improvement.

Rooms

The rooms were a bit of a hassle. I had to climb up three flights of stairs in the heat, and the sash window wouldn’t stay open. I did get moved to a lower room, which was better, but the only clothes hanger was on the bathroom door, making it hard to close completely. It was noisy too, directly above a bar.

I stayed at this hotel for a weekend getaway, and while it had a great location right by the sea, the rooms really didn't live up to expectations. The service from the staff was friendly and helpful, which was a plus. However, the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, and the breakfast options were quite limited. It was also a bit concerning having to pay for potential toilet issues, which felt a bit excessive.

I stayed at a hotel that had a lot of potential but was marred by a few issues. The view from my room was stunning, and it was spotless, but it definitely needs a major update. The location is great, right near the center and the beach, though be prepared for quite a bit of noise from the bar below. The service was friendly, but there were some noisy disturbances that made my stay less relaxing. If you're okay with some noise and don’t mind climbing stairs, it could be worth considering.
