What the reviews say
- The property has persistent hygiene issues including dirty floors, unclean bedding, and a strange smell throughout the building.
- Serious water supply problems, with the hotel running out of water and guests having to buy their own for drinking and bathing without any warning from management.
- Women calling to make reservations reported extremely rude phone service from ownership, with staff hanging up during booking inquiries.
- Located in Sea View area on Folkestone Road, advertised as beach-close but reviewers found it farther from the beach than expected.
- Small property with a persistent unpleasant odor throughout, dirty floors, and old/broken equipment in rooms.
- Beds described as too soft for comfort, bedding and towels appear unclean, and basic amenities like toilet paper require requesting from reception.
- Hotel experienced water outages requiring guests to purchase their own drinking and bathing water, with no advance notice or apology from management.
- TV service non-functional and management appears unprofessional, with reports of staff drinking on premises and poor guest service standards.
