Best Western Clifton Hotel

Clean hotel on the beach close to tunnel and town. Good size room and bathroom with shower over the bath. The only negative wascthat the bed was uncomfortable mattress lumpy. Parking can be a problem but we were lucky to get one outside the hotel. Breakfast was very good. less

Popped in for lunch. Took ages before we got our drinks however they were lovely g and t’s. But the food..... where do I start! The nachos with chorizos were inedible (we did get our money back after complaining twice) and the seafood basket was greasy and very disappointing. Please ditch the curtains they detract from the great views. less

Ok standard of hotel. Pleasant efficient staff. Nice little coffee shop and bar area. Some renovations were going on so main restaurant area appeared to be closed off. Small lift, stairs and walk ways to room and carpets look very worn out. Single room clean and tidy. Marks on wall and door surroundings. Just needs some basic touching up. No idea why simple jobs like this are ignored. Otherwise enjoyable stay. Comfortable bed and good sleep. Small bathroom but had all I needed. Hot water took a while to materialise but good in the end. Yes the usual corridor noise and nearby room noise is par for the course for a building of this type. Nearby main area. A few good bars close by too. Close to front but high up so not beach level. Not too far from main station either. Overall recommended for a short stay. less

Very comfortable stay. Large room which was clean. Very good value for money. The staff on reception were very friendly and approachable. Excellent location on the seafront for a walk along the front into the town. Ideal stop for the tunnel. less

We have been visiting the Clifton for many years and have always appreciated the location, ease of access and restaurant looking on to the park. We had no idea that they are in the throes of refurbishment, but they have made huge progress and somehow retained the old charm of the building....we had a top floor room looking on to the sea and enjoyed the winds and the crying seagulls, and a good nights sleep. The catering is still not in its final position, while building work is being completed on the ground floor restaurant area and outside terraces: but the staff are handling the pressures really well, friendly and hard working under the temporary arrangements. Breakfast was great, the tea room and bar at the front light and airy, bar snacks fine. We can't wait to come back when it is all completed....might be some time but we'll keep coming to check on progress. The bedroom clean and all in order, great nights sleep - just hope bedroom refurb doesn't go over the top and keeps some simplicity. less
