I don't know quite where to start with this hotel. The deal we were on was so cheap it seems churlish to complain! The public areas of the hotel are quite pleasant and well maintained. The pool is lovely, and there is a good snooker room. The hotel is in a good position in Shanklin, not far from the town... More

I understand the handing in of the key when you go out - for fire regulations but noticed straight away that reception staff do other things... More

On arriving at the hotel,it looked as if a lick of paint wouldn't go amiss! The car park is really small for the number of rooms, but it is predominately a hotel for coaches.
