Needs to be renovated but it’s good value for money and is close to the beach and town centre
Ive stayed here quite a few times now if you want a clean quiet comfy room with a good hot shower friendly staff in a good location at a fair price this is the place for you cheers guys see you soon
Had a great stay here. Bonus was the entertainer in the bar area (Jules). Comfy sitting areas around hotel. Bed and pillows comfy with good hot water in shower. Staff were also excellent and very helpful.

Clean tidy room, friendly staff did not use bar or parking
Cannot speak highly enough about this hotel, it may not look as grands as some but that is made up for by the friendly and helpful staff, the quality of the food and the general good feeling you get staying there
The hotel is dated but the staff were friendly on arrival and during breakfast.
The room was clean, just dated. Bed a bit soft but difficult to please everyone.
Great location and a short walk to the beach.
Breakfast was adequate and the lady who served us was super helpful as we had a young child with us.
Clean and comfortable, it made us feel at home even if only for one night. Many thanks to the gentleman at the reception who, despite being tired, kindly waited for us until the very last moment late at night to check us in.
Have stayed here a few times previously, great Staff, very friendly fairly basic rooms but recently renovated bathrooms. Great value,

Nice and friendly.
Nice hotel with friendly staff and good service. Maybe the exterior could do with a lick of paint, but overall I had no problems and would definately recommend.
It was a comfortable stay however the bed had wheels and it was moving a lot. Thw wifi is terribly slow and weak from the rooms.
We stayed for one night, other than, it was a comfortable stay
I really enjoyed staying there and I will recommended it too to anyone visiting the beautiful Shanklin town.
And service from Expedia too much better than rip off booking. Com
Thank you

Comfortable room near beach and own free car parking facilities I am happy with my choice of Hotel booked. In the evening I relaxed with live music at cosy bar.
We have stayed here before and again got a family room for 3 nights. This one was better than the last one. We did not stay here for breakfast and went to Morrisons instead. There is limited parking at the hotel and overnight parking on the roads available. Ok if you’re off out for the day, they supply towels and a little bar of soap each. You need to supply shampoo etc. very friendly staff

Was out doing activities so did not spend to much time there, staff seem friendly enough and the room was okay
Check in was relaxed, cordial, and efficient. The Hotel is well located and close to town and beach. The amenities include entertainment in a spacious bar. Lounges with reading material. Good sized garden. Rooms are functional, with beds being firm, yet comfortable. The restaurant was superb with fast and efficient service catering with a menu that was in keeping with the clientele.
