Staff friendly and helpful. Good location and parking ample. Comfortable beds ( had a family room) and clean facilities. Overall the stay was pleasant but was let down by certain aspects of the hotel being old and tired. Key cards to our room didn’t work - we tried 3 times for our original room but ended up changing rooms as couldn’t get them to work. New room had a TV that didn’t work and again one of the two key cards failed. We also had issues with the heating which we couldn’t get working but house keeping left us with an electric heater which was fine. The hotel in general could do with a lick of paint to spruce it up a bit (paint work chipped on walls and doors) and the lift was out of order ( slightly tricky for my 82 year old mother ) but we had an enjoyable stay those issues aside.

After staying I a few other hotels in the area I found this one to be the best all round I think. The rooms are modern and well decorated it’s convenient for the town centre but quiet too. I would stay again.

Lovely four night stay
Staff were very friendly and breakfast very good. I would say it was three star though rather than four as advertised. We were on the top floor and the lift didn't work for the duration of our stay. The torrential rain meant there was rain water coming through the vent on the ceiling in the bathroom on to the W.C. and floor.

The outside seating wasn’t ideal. The cushions, were left out in the wet! Despite being told they were waterproof they took up the water and made the seats wet! Room 206 was excellent but up narrow stairs. Breakfast excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay at the orchid hotel, room was nice and clean, the staff were lovely, breakfast was lovely, the only thing I would say is that the evening menu could do with changing each evening or having more choice of mains. Overall a lovely stay

I booked a king room for 2 adults 1 child, which is advertised with a roll away bed at an extra charge on the rate. There was no bed for my child in the room so I notified reception who told me Expedia don’t tell them how many people are booked and they would contact a manager and sort something when we came back. 9pm I return, and the bed provided was absolutely appalling. It was dangerous, the legs did not work and it collapsed when laid on, the mattress stunk and was awful, and there was a sheet and pillow, no duvet. It was 10pm at this point so I put it outside the room and my child had to sleep with us. My parents who were in the bar area, heard the receptionist when he came down say “well they didn’t complain”, clearly in view of how awful the bed provided was. In the morning I asked for a manager who again wasn’t available, so I explained my complaint to reception who told me the booking showed it was for 2 adults and 1 child contrary to what the receptionist at check in said; and then proceeded to tell me over and over it was my responsibility to contact them and tell them how many people I had booked the room for and ensure the bed was provided. I profusely refute that I need to contact a hotel to confirm all beds that I have booked are provided, and besides, a bed was provided that was entirely unfit for human use. I asked to be refunded the charge paid for the rollaway bed or for breakfast as a gesture, but nothing at all was offered, but blaming me. Appalling!

The hotel was close to local beach and pier which was accessible by walking even with a small child. The staff person managing the breakfast was amazing, friendly, personable and engaging. The breakfast was disappointing, we pre-paid and didn't bother to eat it olafter our first encounter.All other staff were quite reluctant to engage and support where required. There was generally a poor attitude from the remainder of the staff.
