On the surface a nice room. On looking closer the room needs an upgrade. Very rundown bathroom that didn't appear clean. No wonder I bring antibac wipes when I stay in hotels! Staff were very good and welcoming. Comfy bed.

Liked: Staff & service
My room was a bit shabby, particularly the bathroom - teeny, tiny and not comfortable to use; light flickered and went out so had to leave the door open! The dining room was adequate but had seen better days. However the staff were helpful and did their best. For the price I paid, I suppose I couldn't expect anything better.

Sense of 1930s 'proper job' quality English seaside hotel ,including a large meandering winding carpeted staircase to rooms on second floor which incorporated on the journey of walking up,or down access to a lift which the weary,elderly,infirm ,sight dimmed or,in my case slightly inebriated ( honest .officer I was only moving at 3 miles p.h when I hit that unexpected laundry basket ?!) As well as this the service was v.good ,even down to one kind waitress/breakfast supervisor who took the trouble to find a baby-wipe so that I could clean my ketchup stained trowsers on the morning of my departure. The room was ideal ,well equipped including a telephone and as well as an en-suite shower in th room ,there was a large bath in a bathroom on the landing near my room,which I used early one morning ,quietly so as not to disturb any adjoining room residents. All in All, a good value well managed, friendly and efficient staffed establisment at which I had enjoyed my stay...so thankyou to them 😀. ..

It's ok only.

It was a nice hotel but over priced even for August. It was average in most respects. Decor and furniture was tired and worn. Top floor rooms are up a windy staircase with no handrail. Be aware if you are elderly. Lovely seaview though. Breakfast is a hot buffet servery with cereals but no croissants or youghurts on offer.

Shower head no pressure, bathroom door stuck. Pillows were insubstantial, staff surly. Parking chaotic and unclear. Breakfast greasy. Great view of the promenade.

Location is brilliant. Room was clean and simple. Wasn't noisy (despite being part of a pub/restaurant) – bar the seagulls, which are a given when you stay on a seafront!

The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean and comfortable, although the toilet/shower was very "compact". A person larger than myself may've struggled in here. It is in a good location on the promenade, close to the Jubilee outdoor pool and only 15-20 walk to town or the rail/bus station. There is a bus stop close by. It's a lovely walk along the promenade, offering good views of St. Michael's Mount. The breakfast was ok. Not the best I've ever had but a long way from being the worst. Would I stay here again? For sure.

One night pub crawl.

Friendly and easy check in. Lovely views of the sea. Quiet sleep, think it was the best of the trip. Well kept pint at the end of the night. Would stop again.

A standard but perfectly fine hotel with a great location. You have to be lucky to get parking nearby (which I was). Highlight was the breakfast which was the best of my trip.
