hotel in good location, the hotel is very run down and needs renovation. Bedrooms are small, we had a superior room so a bit bigger than average, but still needs updating. Breakfast was limited choice, no pastries offered.

A traditional English seaside hotel with nice ocean views above the town to St Ives (just a short walk downhill). The room was small and neat. Breakfast was also traditonal English.

Desperate need of a refurb the floor boards creek in other rooms which keep you awake. The shower cubicle is small Karen Carpenter would struggle to get in

location is very good, but that was the only good part.
The rooms, stairways are damp, and a terrible smell of dampness everywhere. The room had a terrible patch of dampness, carpets are extremely dirty .
I avoid looking for perfection in my chosen place of stay, but the hygiene level in this hotel forces me to write the truth here unfortunately

Lovely view. Good location. Hotel looked a bit tired but the room was clean. Pillows were too plump. Would probably suit most people but too high for me

Rooms are dead cheap because the walls are dead thin and you can hear the zombies next door coughing and snoring loudly.

Nice staff, damp mouldy room initially assigned was in a disgraceful condition. Changed rooms to a similar hut less mouldy room. Bed collapses on one side, only possibly to sleep on one side of it. TV worked. Shower ok.

We had a lovely Seaview room, clean and comfortable. The only problem we had was with access and parking, apart from that a great place to stay.
