Highly recommended
Pros:

Location, Location and the Location. The views from the restaurant are - I would suggest - the best to be had in the UK and arguably in the world particularly when comparing the accommodation costs of well known worldwide panoramic views
Special commendation to all of the staff I interacted with - positive, happy and chatty .
There are too many excellent hotel characteristics.
The wide corridors and open, free flowing guest areas with excellent acoustic qualities - lends itself positively to the Neurodivergent community (I have AuDHD and PTSD. ).
Great to see the use of a talking and automated robot serving food and drinks in the cafe.
I commendation the venue for its suitability as a conference centre. Plenty of parking spaces.

Cons:

One must bear in mind that this is not a 5 star venue. The bedrooms fulflsl it's obligation to provide comfortable beds and rooms in a clean and utilitarian manner.
I had to complain to our restaurant waitress that she was far too happy..
I would like to see those tables that are being used for the evening restaurant purposes to each have a white tablecloth and a candle. Yes, a candle even in the summer! Doing so represents the status of the partaking of a main restaurant course of food rather than the Bistro elements.
I would suggest the use of an anti reflective film on the panoramic restaurant windows or the angling of the bar lighting to allow residents to better see the fabulous sea and bay views.

That hotel needs very urgent refurbishment and new management .
Pros:

Only the view was excellent from restaurant. No view for the rooms at all.
Restaurant was very rundown. Breakfast was really poor

Cons:

Room was very low standart. Flat tv was slightly bigger than my laptop screen.
Bathroom was very basics.
Restaurant was very basics too and breakfast wasn’t pleasant at all. We had to stop somewhere else to have our proper morning coffee at least. Coffee was terrible there. We were very sorry to pay 135 for that quality.. it could worth only £85 perhaps.

90s but not in a good way
Pros:

Location and views from bar/restaurant are fantastic

Cons:

Rooms are basic and reminiscent of the 90s. In fact the entire hotel needs a modern upgrade to capitalise on it's great and prominent location as the only 'hotel' on Portland. It would really benefit from a significant investment, which would hopefully attract business. There were only a few guests during my stay.
