Awful, avoid. Gutted I booked this hotel. If your staying in Paignton just don't book here. Check the reviews on this hotel for yourself. The team there doesn't care so why should you spend your money staying there cheap or not. Pay a bit more and stay somewhere a lot better.

The room was very hot and muggy, the window barely opened so there wasn't enough airflow to cool the room. The bed was terrible, it was so hard. The water pressure in the shower was practically nonexistent. The room could do with a better cleaning. The tv was nice though, good size and quick response time. Overall it was ok but I wouldn't stay there again.

Lovely reception staff, bathroom a tight squeeze. Breakfast was good, location very good. Lift not reliable. Free parking for disabled displaying their Blue badge.

Great Staff and Management friendly and welcoming, make you feel like home away from home. Parking is right in front of the hotel and there is lots of parking. Rooms are spacious and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Spacious and relaxing lounge and bar area. A mere two-minute walk to the beach and a lovely promenade, for a walk.

ok types
The breakfast was not a buffett, we cant refill beans or scrambled... That was a bit rude.
The rooms were also small and the shower was even smaller - so much so that you can barely stand in that.
The good thing was the location as its right opposite beach.
Overall, an average experience - definitely not so great

Overall a thumbs up!
Sadly the evening meal choice and standard of the evening meal has dropped over the years. No evening entertainment unless they have a coach party staying was also a sad discovery.
Overall the staff are their usual helpful cheery selfs. Breakfast is good. Standard 3 star hotel.
