Good but needs improvement
Pros:

Location was good and in centre of Torquay big room

Cons:

The room was way too hot to be in and was like a sauna at night to sleep in. Fans in the room did not help either. Not many plug sockets for us to charge phones even though it’s a family room.

Great for what we needed. Would go there again.
Pros:

Perfect for what we needed. Hotel staff on the front desk were brilliant.

Cons:

Bit noisy outside in the early hours when the clubs kicked out. But then again what do you expect from a seaside town on a Saturday night…

I won’t ever stay there again
Pros:

It was scruffy throughout. Shower cubicle tiny, water flow pathetic & took 5 mins with sink tap on to decrepit temperature.

Cons:

Long in need of an upgrade/ redecoration. Large hotel with one small lift ( max 4 persons) resulted in queueing for it!!!
