Can’t fault it all
An excellent stay. The staff were friendly throughout and the hotel was great value for money, with a very good breakfast. The location is excellent with easy access to Scarborough town centre and the South Bay

Location was great, close to beach and amenities. Bar staff were friendly. Breakfast staff were very inattentive, food was inedible - all meat items burnt and egg uncooked, hash brown was charred black - I would have been embarrassed to serve it.

Loved it, would stay again.
I loved this hotel! The room was very pretty and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast could have been a bit more versatile, but overall really happy.

Property is in a good area close to the town centre and the beach across from the tram down to the seafront.Room was clean and tidy with a comfortable double bed although you could hear passing traffic and the seagulls if your a light sleeper. Breakfast the next day was freshly cooked with a choice of cereal, fruit juice and fresh coffee.All in all a good place to stay at a reasonable price

* Nice place with good views.
* Very clean
* Only fly in the ointment was that I had a very early start
(work) and so could not get breakfast which is only served from 8:30

The economy room was pretty basic and small, wasn't keen on the frosted window in the bedroom. The breakfast was good as was the location.

Great place to stay for exploring Scarborough our only problem was that the room had no opening windows and we were just too hot . There was a fan provided but with no fresh ventilation it was a bit pointless
