Disliked: Cleanliness
Hotel was basic and tidy and reasonably priced. However, it is in need of modernisation and the cleanliness could be better. For example, I had to clean the light switch after entering the room. They have also just opened the swimming pool which is a bonus and a basic breakfast is included.

Ignore the bad reviews. This is the second year running I’ve came here with my children. The hotel is clean and the staff are really polite and helpful it’s cheaper than the other hotels in the area as it’s being refurbished the rooms are decent and lovely views if you get a sea room.

It was cheap as chips, which is why I booked it. But the room was dingy. Lots of areas badly in need of maintenance and the icing on the cake was a badly chipped mug provided to make coffee.
Chipped cup in room for tea and coffee

The hotel is a lovely place, the staff was friendly and very helpful. On the days when we stayed the unique bad things we encountered were noise guesses in the room next door, so we couldn't really rest as we expected but apart from that attention at the hotel in great!

Not the best by any means

We booked this for just a night away, we saw only 1 staff member (lady on reception) very helpful but other then that we saw no-one, the room we had was clean but very dated, toilet didnt flush properly,the lino on the floor wasnt fitted properly and had bubbles-persumable from an old leak, beckfast was free but the dining area put us off so decided against it, its a shame because it could be a lovely hotel if it had monry invested to make it more upto date. We visut torquay every few months but we wont be visiting this hotel again.

Only nice thing was the view from the room window. Didnt get any sleep due to noisey residents partying until atleast 4am. Hotel desperately needing refurbishing depressive downstairs reception and dining areas. Website very misleading with facilities as there was no bar and no parking This hotel should be closed down as definitely not fit for purpose

For the price we paid I was only expecting very basic accommodation - I think a comfortable bed and a warm shower are a minimum expectation whatever the price and on that basis it just about delivers. However, there was a very uncomfortable feeling throughout the whole stay, not helped by other residents coming and going noisily at all hours of the day and night, the shady looking characters hanging around nearby and the barely disguised drug deals we witnessed in the vicinity involving those residents. I don’t believe the hotel or staff had any involvement, but they may want to consider what sort of clientele they want to attract.
