- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel won't accommodate them.
- Rated lower on price and service — In the rating categories, price and service scored 7 out of 10, below the other categories.
- Not right beside the beach — The Pleasure Beach is a 20-minute walk away, so it's a bit of a stroll rather than being on the seafront.
