My wife, my granddaughter and myself spent the recent bank holiday weekend at the Esplanade. This was our third stay, the first one being back in August 2012. I gave a fairly long review at that point so this is my no-frills second review. Room - Great Value for money - Great Will we visit again? Definately. Comments: This hotel... More

My husband and I got married at the Esplanade in September. The bedrooms were clean, comfortable, and many had beautiful views of the sea and pier. The dining room and lounge were just right for the meal, reception and disco. It's size made for a lovely, intimate wedding that we and the 60+ guests enjoyed greatly. The staff, especially Charli,... More

Staff were extremely friendly, other guests were friendly. Food here is out of this world. Situated in the town if ur looking for night life. Ok parking isnt good but that cant be helped. I would stay here again. Our room (room 16) was clean, spacious and everything we wanted and needed in a room for our 3 night stay....

A two night stay at this hotel was bought for us a wedding gift through the Wowcher website. Even booking the hotel was a traumatic experience. The service we received on the phone should have been a warning. On arrival, we pulled into the ridiculous car park at the rear, and made our way through the dated corridors to the... More

Stayed in room 17, shower area very small, cold water, hardly any pressure, tho I must say they did change the shower head and it still made no difference. No shower mat no face towel and a hole in the ceiling. Felt more dirty when I stepped out because the dirty shower curtain clung to me. We were suppose to... More

I thought I was fortunate to get a single room so late on New Years Eve through laterooms.com. Booked single with sea view, but on arrival was offered a twin on the 1st floor No. 6. All seemed ok, except for a strange unpleasant smell in the room. Then the entertainment started. I was above it and it was so... More

Stayed for one night in December 2012. The place is in a fantastic location for our purposes - right on the front - and just down the road from the town centre. The employees there were fine, helpful and accomodating as well as being friendly. The room was good as well - just the right size and very warm which... More
