Stopover
2 night stopover was ok - staff friendly and good breakfast. 3-star rating is about right for the period property and room quality - a bit rough around the edges. Pool/area was clean and warm. Good location for a stroll into town, or as we did one morning walk to the Holgate Windmill and the Cold War Bunker.

Bit worn but nice stay
Was OK - a little old worldy but practical accommodation and well placed. Needs some modernisation but generally well kept. New build happening so imagine improvements coming.

Close to old town
Staff very friendly and place clean. A bit run down and tired.
Location very good for old town.
Our room very warm as above kitched and vent stack on outside wall, avoid room 17 and all should be well.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Cleanliness is clearly a priority for this hotel. The hotel requires modernising especially in the older part of the property. It's a bit tired in places. The shower in my room was almost a trickle and in need of replacing. Overall I would recommend staying here.
