The location was perfect for the Open Air Theatre, as it was just a short walk away. The hotel facilities were great, with a cute interior design and comfortable furnishings. The cleanliness of the entire place was impeccable. The king-size room even had a separate room for the children's bunk beds, which was a nice touch. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making me feel very welcome. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. the hotel was close to Peasholme Park, which the kids really enjoyed, and it was only a 5-10 minute drive to the town center. Plus, there was a fantastic fish and chip shop just down the road, which was a bonus.
Nothing, no complaints at all.
The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to assist me. They even helped me find a Laundrette and offered to dry my clothes if needed. My room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. The location was convenient, near Scarborough's open air theatre.
Nothing to be said.
The hotel's cleanliness was impeccable, and the facilities were modern and well-decorated. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and there were plenty of plug sockets for convenience. I also appreciated the decent-sized tea and coffee cups, allowing me to enjoy a proper cuppa. the hotel's location was ideal for me as a person with a disability. It was close to the town center and train station, and there were regular buses to the seaside area and the Scarborough open air theatre. The staff were friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable.
Cannot find any fault.
I had a fantastic stay at a lovely little guest house near the attractions in this city. The room was comfortable and had all the facilities I needed. The breakfast was plentiful with a great variety of choices. The staff were welcoming, helpful, polite, and friendly.
Nothing.
