Pros:

Very helpful staff, a good location but no parking. Room was lovely and warm and comfortable.

Back bedroom so no sea view, it appeared the further up the hotel you got the decor was not the greatest. No parking.

A lovely hotel in a great location. I would stay there again.
Pros:

The location was great and on the sea front in Weymouth. The staff were all great and very helpful. The room was good, nice comfortable beds and a small heater to keep the bedroom warm. You just needed it to take the chill off the room, so just had it on one overnight.

Cons:

Only a small continental breakfast , so only had that once. No parking at hotel, but you do get a good discount if you park in the millennium car park and you have to say you are staying in the Fairhaven hotel for to get the special deal, which is £6.00 for up to 24 hours. It saves you a lot of money, so that is very good ! Every day if you go out and about, you pay £6.00 a day when your car is in the car park overnight .

The situation of the property was excellent but the hotel definitely needs some tlc to update it.
Pros:

Excellent situation for the Pavilion show we were seeing

Cons:

The hotel needs some tlc - the carpets were old & fraying in places. The blankets provided in the bedrooms were old (but clean). The bathroom window wood was rotten in places & no heating in the bathroom.

Room very good, but entrance/reception area tired and needs a revamp.
Pros:

The room was very clean and comfortable, I had a seaview room which was lovely. The bathroom seemed quite new and modern and the room looked like it had recently been redecorated. It had everything in there that i needed.

Cons:

The main reception area, stairs and corridors are very tired and could do with a lick of paint and new carpets so it doesn't give a very good impression when you first enter the building.
From first walking in it made me slightly concerned at what my room was going to be like however they were like chalk and cheese so they've clearly invested in the rooms first.
Also the smaller shower head was broken and wouldn't remain in place however there was a larger rainfall shower head too so it wasn't detrimental to me having a shower

Disaster and dangerous.
Pros:

Nothing at all, all false advertising. Dangerous. Do not take children or vulnerable people.

Cons:

Dangerous, no 24hr reception as advertised. Room old and dirty. Was told to f*£k off by emergancy contact number. Had to call police and wedge chair against door so I felt safe witn my 4 year old.

Excellent services and kind staff
Pros:

Very spacious rooms and a lovely sea view from our bedroom

Cons:

The mattress was not the best it was like the springs were all broken in the middle so the mattress was bending in the middle when laid on

The staff are great, but there ain't enough of them.
Pros:

The location is fine

Cons:

The decor is extremely tired and old fashioned. A single member of staff manages the front desk and the breakfast. Accordingly, the breakfast buffet would often be short of clean plates, milk, pastries, or condiments. The room was only serviced if you requested it. Even when serviced, again because of a seemingly shortage of staff, the bathroom was never cleaned properly. The walls are extremely thin. When the person in the next room flushed the toilet, you had to turn the volume on the TV up so you could hear it - I kid you not!
