Moved to the Cottonwood Hotel - Ocean View closed

I was advised by staff at the Cottonwood Boutique Hotel that their sister hotel, the Ocean View Hotel was closed due to maintenance. So I can not give you feedback for that stay. However, I was given a room at the Cottonwood Boutique Hotel instead. Normally when I stay at the Cottonwood Hotel it is for a break and I always book the ocean view room. I had stayed on the Friday and Saturday I was put in a small double at the back of the building, so decided to book a double at the Ocean View for Sunday night because their doubles are bigger and the cost was a little less. So after finding out that the Ocean View was closed, I was upgraded from a double to ocean view twin room. The staff and management at the Cottonwood Boutique Hotel are always smiling, warm and welcoming and go the extra mile with service. I really appreciate that and always look forward to my stay.

Keep staff, but refurbish and get new beds

The hospitality of the staff was great, however the beda were extremely hard and uncomfortable, no matter which room. They tried to help by placing us in different rooms, but the beda were all the same, no matter upgrade. We were upgraded to the neighbouring hotel they with, unfortunately same type of bed. Suggestion is keep the great staff, but refurbish the hotel to an up to date standard, and get beds where you can’t feel each single spring through the covers. The two hotels are typisk examples of faded glory, which was due an update 30 yrs ago. Yet the prices are similar to much newer hotels with a great standard.

Barely saw any staff, vending machine empty, shower didn’t work (shower head too full limescale) other that that was ok. Was on beach front so had a good view. They said free parking but when we arrived had yo pay £10 a day (3days =£30) quite a bit extra on top of bill.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. But it was disappointing that their bar was closed and they didn't serve any evening meals. The hotel needs redecorating worn out carpets and cracks in the ceiling. The bathroom needs updating with an electric shower not just relying on the mixer tap in the bath.

Friendly, clean, good breakfasts!

Very friendly staff, great position just across from the East Undercliff, enjoyed good food and entertainment in its sister hotel next door the Cotton Boutique with Paul Walker entertaining all the guests and passers by, really good breakfast in the Ocean View Hotel in the morning, all in all a lovely weekend.

The location and the price were great. There was a nice outdoor pool, the staff were friendly and the hotel was clean. However, the hotel is old, dated, the floorboards creaked and the TV didn't work. Parking was cheaper in the street next to the hotel than at the hotel.

Have stayed in worse.

Generally ok. Staff excellent but hadn't a clue when I tried to order certain foods and avoid the BLT at all costs, pretty awful. Some things inthe bathroom didn't work properly, maintenance poor. Hotel dated and had to go to a sister hotel next door for food and beverages. However the room was discounted, so no complaints there. Hotels need to put more information up as to car parking etc. Doubtful that I would stay there again.
