Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The overall property dated and tired looking plus looked untidy in places. Aware from reading other reviews that new owners recently took the place over and some improvements had been made. On a plus room was clean and tidy and staff very friendly and helpful. Close to Torquay and surrounding area and places to eat.

The staff were friendly, and the areas were clean, there was a funny smell in the hotel and in our room, probably musty my clothes smelt of it when I got home. The room had plenty of space, very tired and old fashioned, bathroom was clean but again old and needs attention. I do feel sorry for these big old hotels as it must cost to maintain them but they are in a different era now.

The lady at the desk was soo sweet that she made me a coffee because I was not able to find a coffe shop and it was time for my travel back to London. She didn't even charged and was kind enough to provide it by herself.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very comfortable rooms with great beds and facilities. Yes, a bit dated in terms of furniture and cracks on walls etc but our room was spotless clean. The indoor pool area (watch out fairly deep pool!) and jacuzzi were great and empty when we visited. Breakfast was simple but perfectly good to set you up for the rest of the day. Great location right by the beach and only 15mins walk to the Marina/centre. Would stay again!
