It did the job
Well located for my trip to the Spa music venue.
The Hotel has a great bar and outside area with music on all day.
The only downside was the suffocating heat in my room.

Open air theatre trip
We had a lovely stay at the Crescent hotel. It's a traditional seaside hotel, a lovely big building in a brilliant location. The breakfast was very good with lots of options. Friendly helpful staff and a lovely outside bar where we enjoyed a night cap after returning from the open air theatre. The music was a little loud in the outside bar, could maybe be a little bit quieter for conversation but not a big issue.

Lovely stay at this hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the breakfast is excellent. The rooms don't have air-con and ours didn't have opening windows, so a little stuffy, but a fan is provided. The hotel is ideally located for the town and the beach, and there are plenty of bars & restaurants within walking distance. Parking is available for £6 per night, but it is on the street (very easy & close to the hotel though). Would stay again.

Lovely Hotel
Lovely hotel with good old fashioned service. Large, comfortable room, with a super king sized bed. Lovely staff who looked after us. The decor was a little tired, but overall good and would come back and recommend. Great location, very handy for the train station, theatre and sea front.

Super location within easy reach of shops and the amazing SJT theatre. Very friendly and helpful throughout my stay with comfortable, clean rooms and a cosy restaurant and bar. The food was always excellent - with a good range of drinks. Very happy to return again.

Shame about the cricket
Hotel was comfortable, food was excellent and staff were both friendly and helpful. Location was very convenient - near the centre of town and the railway station. I would certainly stay there again

Fantastic hotel and well run.
Staff were really helpful and always went the extra mile. Hotel is great and only a few minor gripes which would make my rating a 9 rather than 10.
Bathroom door snagged on the floor and breakfast room needs soft furnishings as very noisy.
On the whole, would and will revisit.

Nice, friendly hotel in good location
We stayed at The Central because of its convenient location for the Stephen Joseph Theatre. We were lucky to find parking directly in front of the hotel and purchased a discounted parking permit from the hotel. There are plenty of parking garages nearby as well. The lady on reception was friendly and helpful. The room on the third floor was a decent size with all the basics including an ironing board and iron. It looked out on a main road with several bars but the noise, even on a Friday night, was minimal. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was very good. A very nice stay and we would definitely return, but perhaps would ask for a room overlooking The Crescent.
