Great days

It was a really good experience. The room was big, with a sofa and armchairs, a small table, and a huge window with a side view of the pier and the sea. A good bathroom too.

So i dont have very high expectations and happy to just have somewhere as a base to see friends in the local area. The reception and hallways were very well kept and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We got into the room (222) and was met by massive cracks in the ceiling, peeling wallpaper and very tired furniture. Bed was comfortable however we stumbled accross what could only be described as a used wax strip in the main room. We had a seaview however the windows were not that clear (Dirty) so shouldnt have bothered paying the extra. Were not ones to complain and have the attitude of 'It is what it is'. I just know based on that single experience we're not likley to rebook. Not sure if we were just unlucky but if other rooms are of the same state i feel a lot of maintenance and decorating is required to get the rooms upto an acceptable level.

For the price this was a great stay. I had a room with a sea view. The carpet wasn’t hoovered properly. It needs a deeper clean but overall I’m comfortable in the room. I’ve had the same room every time I stayed at the Cavendish. Which I also like

Staff are great and accommodating. Not met anyone working here who isn’t pleasant. The outside area after a certain time is questionable but it is a ‘seaside’ area, therefore you do get adolescents misbehaving near the pier area. There’s only been a few occasions there loudness can be heard but they tend to move on after a while.

The staff are welcoming and make you feel at ease. It’s a shame some people choosing to stay here are not very nice towards the staff. The staff do a great job at trying to accommodate those staying.

Room broken into and items packed by staff

Would not risk it again. We had a 2 night stay booked over a nice and sunny weekend. As most reviews say, the rooms are sauna, but we had 2 fans and with window opened it was fine. The furniture is outdated but acceptable, could have been run down but it was not. The HUGE negative and the one that will put most people off: Checked in Friday evening, slept the night. Left to explore on Saturday morning and locked the room behind us. On return our key cards didn't work, got them reactivated, thinking nothing of it. Once in - our toothbrushes, toiletries, personal items (clothes, perfumes, underwears) and some very private(!!) items we left behind near bedside, were all gone! Room was not cleaned, but items went missing. We then saw our suitcase in corner of the room (we had left it in the wardrobe), so I opened it and found all our items packed inside it. Turns out they had a "glitch" in their system and they thought we were only staying 1 night. So, when we weren't in on Sat morning, housekeeping took all our stuff, put it in our own suitcase, and took it as 'lost property'. Reception said no manager was on duty then, so wait till next morning. We slept terrified, spoke to manger in the morning who said it happens, there was a witness to staff who packed your stuff, so what is the fuss about? The fuss is someone entered, touched and put away your items in your absence, opened your bag and packed it! That is invasion of privacy whilst being paid for that room by us!!!!
