The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good
"A comfortable stay, aided by use of a fan in the room which was needed because no air con in room and windows have security latches so only opens minimally. Nice welcome and every staff member we spoke to was courteous and friendly. Benefit of parking in the car park for just £6 a day was definitely an added bonus. Minimal cleanliness issues, scuffed paintwork and slightly dated furniture. One thing that is definitely needed is clean windows..we had a seaview room which was great but the windows were so dirty, inside and out so the view was pointless tbh. So overall would stay again if in the area"
