Not the best.

The Hotel service didn't start off very well. Despite having paid up front through Hotels.com - the receptionist was determined that I still needed to pay. This was despite me having the credit card statement showing the payment - and the Hotels.com receipt. Turned out.. they needed to charge the service provider. If you are considering to use the Hotel restaurant- don't bother. The chances are they will be fully booked with their Coach visitors. And there's only options between 6-8.30 pm. The rooms are ok at best. No form of air con - so open windows. Which with the amount of Seagull activity (or Wednesdays Bike Night)- better have some very good ear plugs. The bathroom was tired. Oh and forget about advertised Platinum perks. Feedback really is a gift.

Staff were brilliant and menu fine and very reasonably priced. Spa was a bonus, especially the pool but will soon need refurbishing. Real ale, Otter, nice surprise. Down side was the EV charging, which was essential for us. When I phoned Project no one was in the office.This is not acceptable. They rang me back 24 hours later!

Great value for money

So quite a big hotel in good location in Paignton. Plenty of free parking and EV charging on site. Staff all very friendly and helpful (we were initially given the wrong type of room but this was quickly rectified). Room was decent size, clean and had everything we needed. Bathroom and bedroom generally looking a bit tired and dated but given the price, we couldn’t be too picky. Had breakfast on one of the days. It was reasonable but the cooked breakfast was quite small so we felt it didn’t represent great value for money for the £12 ea it cost, particularly if you were very hungry. Overall enjoyed the stay for the price paid and would return if we were coming back to Paignton.

Tired but charming property

Lovely hotel although very dated in places but very charming. Some areas need attention but nothing to spoil our stay. The pool and spa are at an extra cost if you’re not staying half board and there is also a charge for the lockers, not what we would have expected.

Classy, traditional and great staff

It's a traditional, classy hotel. Service can be a little stretched at reception but the quality of the staff generally is a cut above the average for this grade of hotel. The restaurant is a reslly good experience. Although the menu is slightly limited the quality of the ingredients and the presentation is superb. The breakfast is full of choices and variety (with the exception of kippers as I recall - and possibly porridge...). The presentation is excellent again although cooking your own toast doesn't fit with the otherwise classy experience. There's plenty of free parking for guests, it's close to the shops, it's opposite the pier and it's a charming and elegant place to take a break. Paignton is lovely too.
