old fashioned and disappointed no hot breakfast
Pros:

Checking in was really easy the Reception staff were really friendly and polite.

The room was very spacious and the view was ok.

The bar was open 24 hours

Cons:

The room was old fashioned and needs a bit of TLC. Big stain on the ceiling.
There was a constant humming noise, probably from the heating.
The pillows were like bricks and the bed was hard.
When we went down for breakfast we were informed there was no hot food. Continental breakfast only. The dining room was manic - massive queue for tea coffee machine. Decided against breakfast and asked for a refund, was told we could have the difference between a full English and a continental - when I asked to speak to a manager I was then offered a full refund.

Worth it for the views alone
Pros:

Excellent service, amazing views, great history, nice food, overall a lovely stay and we would highly recommend it

Cons:

Some disrepair, cold pool, camp bed in family room but less uncomfortable than expected, no views for breakfast or evening meals so could have been anywhere

Sadly the hotel has deteriorated since our last visit.
Pros:

The room was clean and the facilities in the room were good with plenty of storage.

Cons:

Part of the ceiling in our room had obviously had a leak and was stained. The window had seen better days with gauges out of it and tissues stuffed in the holes. There was a leak in the stair well which was dripping. The hotel restaurant's menu is more like a Wetherspoons rather than an up market venue with frozen chips with most dishes.

The hotel is dated and dirty, Unfriendly staff, poor customer service
Pros:

Location - very close to the lovely coast

Cons:

I travelled to Scarborough for work and was staying in this hotel for 2 nights. The hotel is rated as 4 starts but I would rate it as minus 4 stars it it was possible.
I tried to call several times on Saturday to let them know that I was arriving after 11.30pm but couldn't get through.
When I arrived in the hotel, I rang the bell several times before a staff member came to the desk. He looked rather unimpressed so I apologised for the late arrival and told him that I tried to let them know about it. His answer was 'well we had a busy evening'. Then another staff member approached him and they had a debate about which room I was supposed to be in. I asked whether breakfast was included in my booking and was told it wasn't.
I went up to my room just before midnight and the key wasn't working. I came back to the reception and rang the bell again. The same guy approached with the worst ever attitude and just said 'what?'. I suggested that key wasn't working and his response was 'never trust anyone, I was told that it was all set up'. No apology.
I entered the room which was unbearably hot. The windows were open and they had the ceiling fan and a table top fan running but the heater was fully on. The bin was full of rubbish including empty beer bottles and the refreshment tray wasn't topped up and still had a ripped sachet of coffee left on it. I had no assurance that the bedding was clean so I slept on top of the duvet with my clothes on and covered the pillow case with my top.
Despite living the windows open and turning off the heater, the room temperature still wasn't going down.
On Monday morning I mentioned that the room was like a sauna despite living the windows open and the response was the the heat was travelling from the lower levels!!. Also, she told me that breakfast was actually included in my booking. I told her that I was misinformed by her colleague. Again no apology was given.

Nice hotel. Great location.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Hotel was clean, tidy and well presented. Bar meal portions were generous and very tasty.

Cons:

I found the mattress on the bed very hard and struggled to get comfortable as I’m used to a softer mattress at home. Access to car park at the rear is awkward to find and entry through the spa area is unclear. Parking charge seems excessive for the location.

It was ok but far below what we were expecting
Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

Room was extremely hot and the fan provided was incredibly noisy.
Breakfast was a disappointment they were short staffed and everyone was left waiting and complaining.
