Helpful staff. Great breakfast. Lovely historic building. Nice big bathroom with a bath.

Great hotel and location, parking is a nightmare.
Pros:

Great location and amazing breakfast, clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The parking situation. There is no where to park and we couldn’t find a single space anywhere close. We ended up driving around for a long time until we finally found a space, but we had to go and move the car again at 9am as it was a bus lane. Luckily we spotted someone leaving at 10pm and managed to get their spot. This then led to not having anywhere to park the next day as the hotel wanted the parking pass back and you could only pay for an hour pay and display outside the hotel. We ended up keeping the pass but getting phone calls asking for it back later in the day. We felt like we had no option but to keep it otherwise we would have to leave Weymouth early and cut the holiday short.

Pros:

The staff are friendly and very helpful. The location is perfect. Parking can be a nightmare but once you get a space you can leave the car and everything is in walking distance. Food is lovely.

Cons:

The only niggle would be the restaurant. Although the food was lovely you had to have a minimum of two courses for dinner. We would have eaten dinner at the hotel more but not always hungry enough for two courses.

Pros:

Great location with friendly and helpful staff. The room was basic, but ok for the one night we stayed. Breakfast options were welcome from full English to simpleceggs on toast.

Cons:

The shower was a bit weedy and the toilet tissue was very cheap like many hotels: I'd happily pay a bit more to cover the cost of that stolen by unfortunates who must be very desperate.
