Great Value and good location
Pros:

A nice feel hotel. Breakfast was a good inclusion, well worth the extra cost.

Cons:

It's a bit hot in the rooms. An overhead fan would be good. The summers are getting hotter.

The Shanklin Hotel exceeded my expectations with regard to my room, meals and hotel facilities.
Pros:

Very pleasant room, looked recently refurbished. Good quality bed, modern bathroom. Had a very good three-course dinner for £20. Friendly, efficient staff. Hotel is close to the cliff-top path and the lift to the beach. Town centre five minutes walk. I shall certainly return.

Cons:

Although the room was generally quiet, I was woken in the early hours by television noise from another room.
