Very poor facilities, the floor, bed, and windows were all very old. The bathroom door couldn't close properly. The hairdryer made strange noises when turned on, followed by a burning smell. The soundproofing was terrible, I could clearly hear people talking outside the room. There was no air conditioning, only a fan. Not sure if it was due to the burning smell from the hairdryer, but the smoke detector went off twice.

50 minute wait to check in. Room had not been cleaned when eventually got our key. Was like a maze trying to find our rooms and only 1 lift to get to it. Awful experience

Good sized double room and bathroom. Generally all was as expected, and although housekeeping did not come in to refresh supplies, I could easily obtain more teabags etc in the reception area. I was surprised there was no bath mat, thus the bathroom floor became quite wet unnecessarily. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and I would recommend this hotel for it’s location.

It is the largest hotel in Scarborough, with older facilities. The room was small but clean and had a nice view of the sea
