The room we stayed in cost us £79! and to say the least was depressing especially as you can't even open the windows. I felt like my skin was crawling all night in bed. The view was of scaffolding to a courtyard. Part of a 70s hair dryer is stuck on the bathroom wall, no use whatsoever. Our parents stayed in a sea view room. The bath had deep scratches in it as though it had been painted. The receptionist did what she could with the many people that were complaining. We overheard one couple who had a voucher that would not be accepted and another at breakfast that there was no teapot on the table and they were only allowed one cup of tea another who paid £48 for the same room as ours! but as far as i am concerned they still paid too much!
