BOOK RIGHT NOW!!

I highly recommend this hotel and always stay here when in Scarborough. I always pay extra for the sea view and it is well worth it. Breakfast is great and it is an easy walk down the High Street from the station. Buses are excellent all around the area, eg. Bridlington, Filey, Whitby, Robin Hoods ay, etc. I love the seafront walks. Thank you to all staff.

Woulld have liked a proper double bed as it was 2 single beds pushed together and the mattreses were very hard, making for an uncomfortabe sleep. We had a beach veiw and the room was large and clean. We had a good apart from the uncomfotable bed. Cose to everything and good value for the money. Would stay again.

The hotel itself was lovely. However there was dust on the floral arrangements that people had drawn on , we reprted it to the cleaners and they just wiped out the pictures but didnt remove the dust. The staff were super friendly and knowledgable about the area. The location was great. Good price .
