    I think they could have offered more toiletries like tooth brush, tooth paste and lotion. The room is also not very sound proof so you can hear the live music or people talking in the corrodor.

    We like the location where it's very close to the beach and bus stops. I also like the bar area where there is facilities like pool table and live music. The room includes a hairdryer, towels, and have a decent view.

    There was no air conditioning, and the windows didn't open much. There was a plug-in fan in the room, but as we visited in July, it was still pretty hot.

    Very close to beach. Ocean view room had great view as no taller buildings around. The pool was a decent size and open 7am-9pm. You had to go in two minimum as they 'don't have a lifeguard', though the pool was only about 5 foot high max. They did say we could use the pool after check out, so that was a bonus. There was entertainment and bingo in the evening, but we did not attend these.

    Horrible breakfast quality. The room was hot even though it is not peak of summers in may. Did not offer bathroom products.

    As a group of Three this hotel offered family room at a decent price. It was located at a convenient location. It was clean and well put together.

    The room we had wasn't that good. Some of the lights were not working, one window wouldn't close properly. The bathroom was very basic especially the shower. The bath was horrible, needs replacing, very gritty. No blind in the bathroom and although there was obscured glass ,passers by can see in. I would say, though, that the reception staff changed the room immediately when we reported this. Its a really nice hotel, even though parts of it need a bit of a refurbishment. We had great service and a great time and would definitely return., but definitely not to room 120.

    It was lovely having a pool. All of the staff in this hotel are very friendly and work hard. Its kept very clean and the food in the restaurant is to a reasonable standard.

    Mattress was very hard or thin, could feel a solid board every time i turned over, was stiff in the morning. Breakfast was cooked but not great, my wifes "ham and a selection of cheese" turned out to be wafer thin ham and shredded chedder and red leicester. I asked if it was possible to have a GF breakfast, i was told there was but it turned out to be the regular small breakfast but without the sausage or hashed browns.

    The room and shower were great, sadly didnt get time to use thr pool, really nice lounge and dining room

    We had a problem with the shower in our room which didn't work properly, and nearly scalded my partner. The staff couldn't resolve the issue on the night as their was no maintenance staff around at that point but they were quick to provide us with another room key. We didn't move into the room as we were only staying the one night and had already unpacked but it meant we at least had access to a functioning shower.

    It was a spacious hotel, the room had all your necessary amenities. It was fantastic that the hotel had a pool, for the most part we had it to ourselves. The view from the dining room at breakfast is fantastic, almost panoramic views of the bay. In my opinion it was a shame that they have such heavy curtains up (they have blinds as well) it would really make the most of the amazing view they have in their breakfast room if the curtains were removed. The hotel is a great location to visit Shanklin Chine which is very beautifully lit up at night!

    In the shower bathroom, the waste water pipe was a bit blocked. The water was not going out. We had to switch off the shower and wait for the water to go out them finish our shower.

    Food was a great large portion.

    Bathroom had a strong smell of urine, cups in the rooms were made of plastic and weren't properly cleaned. The room was quite dated, so is the rest of the hotel.

    The staff was amazing, incredible how well Alex at reception accommodates customer requests and how well they treat each other. Bed was comfy and food was decent for the price, again staff in the hotel restaurant are super stars, they all deserve a raise! Heated swimming pool is always a plus. There's a bar with decent choices, pool and foosball table and live music at night. There's a locked shed for safe storage of bicycles overnight

    Having 3 members of staff unsure about where I should sit at breakfast. It made that dining experience feel awkward. The toast was cold and wet! I was informed that I would need to find someone in the hotel or a member of staff to go swimming with me as I was travelling alone!

    Clean and comfortable. Nice view of the sea.
