Not for seagull haters.

The bed was probably the most uncomfortable thing I've ever slept on. Seagulls, my god the seagulls... Seagull droppings everywhere outside, constant squarking day and night. I know it's a seaside hotel, but the amount of nests on the building really doesn't help the place out. Otherwise pretty much what expected for a last minute cheap hotel stay.

Poop in the hallways, very noisy, good shower

Well, on walking through the hallway there was actual faeces on the carpet spread everywhere. Went and informed the front desk who was aware and was "apparently" from a dog. The room was okay but the toilet kept making noises all night. Only 2 pillows that were quite plump and no extra blanket or bath mat etc. One great thing was the shower, even though the bathroom was smelly. Also, the seagulls will be noisy all night and wake you at 5am.

Very tired hotel

I am sure back in the day this hotel was pride of Scarborough. However it is a very tired and outdated now. Beds - terrible Room condition - stale smelling Secure room - my son pushed the locked door and it opened Bathroom - wife or kids wouldn’t shower as it was so dirty Sorry guys, wish I could say it was an enjoyable stay but it wasn’t
