Pros:

A splendid looking building. The room I was in was overlooking the parking area. It had a view unless a tall vehicle parked in the space in front of the windows. A comfortable room but noisy. There didn't seem to be much sound insulation between rooms. I could hear phone conversations, music and rowdy children being entertained. The room did smell a little - not sure what it was but it smelled a little unpleasant. After the first day I no longer noticed it. If I stayed there again I would ask for a different room and hope it was better. The onsite restaurant food was quite good. I enjoyed the daily included breakfast. A small set of choices, though.

Pros:

Reasonable stay. Big, clean room, a little bit of a strange smell. Staff friendly. Disappointed that it cost to use the pool, did not see this on hotel details. Also stated that breakfast was included, but was quite prescriptive - 5 options and had to choose one. Would have preferred more flexibility. Lovely views. Room quiet and dark at night.

Great Service - Fab Location
Pros:

Check in was quick and easy. Room was sooooo hot due to all glass fronted room which had been in direct sunlight all day with the curtains open. Asked for another room which was provided without fuss.

5 min walk (max) to beach & bars, harbour & marina about 10 mins away.

Pros:

My room requires refurbishment and the car park is a bit difficult to park in when nearly full. Other than that the staff were good, friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is well placed for both scenic walks and walks into Torquay.

Saved by the pool
Pros:

Two of the booked rooms were basically motel rooms which opened right into the car park. Both of which were right under the beer garden terrace which lead to lots of noise in the rooms.

Niether of the motel style rooms had working heating, resulting in the staff having to provide a plug in radiator for one of them. This would have been fine except the rooms lacked accessible plugs in the first place.

Notably there were also no fire evacuation details in either of the motel rooms.

The rooms were showing their age and looked like they hadn't aged well.

The only saving grace was the pool that the little one enjoyed as much as possible.
