Single ensuite room was great: big and comfortable. Had a nice surprise to get a sea view which wasn't expecting. Bathroom needed an update but did the job. Window difficult to close as so high up.

Our room was a little bit dirty when we went in, so we asked for it to be cleaned again, but they sort of just made the bed and emptied the bin. The chair had hair and crumbs on it, some of the pillows were stained and the fake flowers on the table had really gross water in it. The view from the room was great, but the window was covered in bird poo, the car park is convient and its really close to the beach and town centre. Overall i liked the hotel, i would stay there again, if nothing else was available.

The hotel entrance and room was awful. I wouldn’t leave my dog in the room. The walls were battered and the carpet was dirty and worn in many places. It was cramped. The pictures online do not truly reflect the poor state of the hotel. Shame as it is in a good location but needs complete renovation. We could not stay there and asked for our money back which they did oblige.

There is no car park for this hotel. We were told ‘ you have to park to come to reception and we will explain where you can park’. On the sea front so we could hear the waves all night, that was nice. Shower was over bath and very poor.

The staff are amazing at this hotel. The breakfast was great and buffet with porridge/a range of cereals /fruit/yogurt etc. lovely bread too! We had a sea view and it was amazing looking over the beach and the small train . Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel team. Thank you x. We will come again soon. Ps bus stop right outside the hotel to many top places to visit. Train station a few yards away to Penzance, st Erth and more!
