Seabank Hotel

no heating in the room eventually radiatir needed bleeding ,still not much joy, then told heating was in the off period that day ,8p m in december!!!!!!!!! it still didnt work so a portable heater brought into the room.power plug not working eventuallyagreed with the maint man that it needed blanking off ihope that will happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still i suppose good value for the price paid thirty pounds. all could have been avoided if i had been moved to another room as the hotel was only 20 per cent full at the most

We booked this hotel as it was next to the Grand Pavilion where we were going to see a
show in the evening so the location was excellent. The decor was a bit dated but did not spoil the stay. We also had a seaview which was nice. The hotel was quiet, but then again it was midweek in November.

First impressions were that the hotel was in need of a facelift we asked for hot food when we arrived at 3pm but only cold food available until 6.30pm, breakfast good but service poor. The bar lacked any ambiance not many guests about and the piano was wildly out of tune souded like Les Dawson, the sherry was sour and from an almost empty bottle perhaps old
Room 64 the lavatory had a crudely glued crack on the side, one teacup was badly cracked and it looked like an old crack , the PVC windows were ill fitting and the wind howled through them, we asked but no key was found to open the windows, otherwise good airy large room and comfortable bed
Despite any moans the staff were unfailingly kind, polite and pleasant.

Location is excellent and the room we had a little viewing lounge un-suite and was just perfect. The food was good and decently priced. Now the bad bits. Advertised 24 hour snack service, though when we requested a simple beef sandwich came as a un edible disaster so it went back ( we may just have been a little unlucky with the porter staff on this occasion) Agreed we did come down for breakfast towards the end of service. The restaurant was full of tables uncleared of crockery and had to clear a table ourselves to be seated. (maybe a little more emphasis on presentation required) Setting aside these two little problems the hotel is excellent, would recommend and are looking forward to stopping again in October sometime.
