The Marsham Court Hotel is appreciated for its location, being conveniently close to the beach. Many guests find the rooms spacious and comfortable, some with amazing sea views and large balconies, perfect for enjoying the surroundings. The heated pool is a popular amenity, often enjoyed daily, and the bar being open 24 hours is a definite plus; however, some guests have mentioned that the hotel looks a bit tired in places.

relaxing seaside stay

luxury bathcomfortable roommorning sununbearable temperature
i got upgraded to a twin room on the first floor. the room had a bath as the hotel was quiet. it was a sunday night, and i took a luxury hot bath. i found myself sleeping very well in this comfortable room. i sat by the swimming pool in the morning sun. the whole experience was so peaceful.
the windows could not be opened sufficiently. the electric fan made little difference. the temperature in the room was unbearable, so i found it difficult to sleep.

Wonderful Sea View Experience

The weather helped a lot. I was charmed to find a sea view room ready, it was great. The location is really good and there's a bike shed available. This made taking my bikes convenient. Staff did the hotel proud and were very helpful.
The room got quite warm, it could really use air conditioning, but a fan was provided and did work.

i found the location very convenient. The beach was a short walk. The pool was a hit with my children, they loved it. The bus stops are very close, accessing different parts of the area was easy.
