Super little stay
Pros:

Grear staff, clean and modern room. Sure the window was a bit noisy but nothing too worriesome. It was ok for me. I highly recommend this stay - excellent value, does exactly what it needs to and more.

Pros:

Perfect location in the middle of Weymouth. Although the rooms are above a pub I didn’t mind at all. Thank you for letting me check in earlier so could leave my stuff and explore the area.

Short stay
Pros:

Lovely room, although the bed could do with being updated as you felt like you was sleeping on a slant which made it uncomfortable. The bathroom was great having a shower and bath tub. Please note that this is situated over a pub and there is loud music playing from opening till it closes at around midnight so no chance of chilling in the day if thats what your looking for, it was very good value for money though and in a prime location and we would probably go back for a short stay. Staff were friendly and very helpful

Not the best
Pros:

Ion arrival a staff member showed us to our room she was friendly.
Our room was booked as a delux room, it was compact very standard, 1 sachet of tea and coffee each for a 1 night stay, no glasses provided.
The bed was very uncomfortable, my partner pulled the mattress back to find that the bed base has been repaired very badly, the mattress had seen better days, when lying in the bed it felt like you were tilted !

We were eager to leave early to get home to catch up on much needed sleep

Was okay
Pros:

The room was good but when we arrived the hotel was closed so you had to use the back staircase which was okay in the daylight but at night there was no light, so you had to be very careful.

Pros:

The room was nice,it is above a pub and right in the centre of the town centre which is exactly what we wanted.
It was great to have live music in the pub on the Saturday night so we didn't have to go far at the end of the night.
