While most reviewers are positive about this hotel, several felt it was in desperate need of an upgrade. There are many who mention minor issues with maintenance or the state of furnishings; for example, beds that are a little on the old side and therefore too soft, or plumbing and electrical problems. The age of the building also means there are few windows and rooms tend to be a little stuffy.
According to reports the rooms at this hotel can feel a little too cramped, though only a small number of reviewers focus on this.
A handful of past guests mention having trouble with the level of noise around the hotel. Some mention noise from nearby pubs and bars shutting down, but the most frequently-mentioned culprit is the allegedly vocal seagulls who can make sleep a little troublesome.
