Seaside hotel with some interesting decor very pleasant.
Pros:

Location, free fridge, lift, staff, sitting room was nice place to hang out,

Cons:

It was very hot during our stay and like all hotels just the one weight duvet. Was. A bit noisy on one night with some drunk singing but that was not the hotel’s fault.

We were made very comfortable and enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

Breakfast very good

Great hotel, great location
Pros:

Hotel staff were excellent, the place was immaculately clean and the food was great. Not much else to add.

Cons:

The only small issue with the whole stay was beyond the control of the hotel....it was a heatwave and my room was very warm as it was at the rear and on the the top floor and got baked by the afternoon sun. This was not the hotel's fault.....it was just very unusual weather.

Would absolutely visit again.
Pros:

Excellent hotel and value for money. Friendly and helpful staff.
Great breakfast and dinner though dinner portions are a bit TOO generous!

Cons:

Netflix and YouTube apps not working on TV.
TV volume fixed at too low a level. Hence cannot hear the TV at all with all the noise outside.
Bit noisy at night as it's close to a local pub.
Mattresses need updating. Far too soft.
In hot weather there should be a lower tog duvet though I guess we should have asked for one.

A very nice holiday with everything up to our expectations.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent, we had a wide variety of food. Our room was huge with a lovely sea view. It was really clean and comfortable with all the facilities you would need. The hotel is situated right on the seafront allowing easy access to shops and restaurants. If we return to the isle of man we will use this hotel again.

Cons:

Would have liked a toilet brush in the bathroom, apart from that it was excellent.

Elegant and friendly hotel from which to explore the island
Pros:

The hotel is elegant in style, scrupulously clean and well appointed with friendly staff. The complimentary items included were welcome. It was well situated for access to the excellent public transport which we used extensively to explore the island - and also convenient for the town centre and ferry terminal. There was a good choice for breakfast and we enjoyed the two evening meals we had there - though some dishes were rather too substantial.

Cons:

The only downside was that the Samuel Wells bar which is opposite the hotel at the rear created a lot of noise in the early hours of the morning. The hotel has done its best to alleviate this with double double glazing which cuts most noise out - but not good for those who like to let a little fresh air in at night. The licensing authorities should take steps to curb late night drinking at this bar and not allow then to have tables outside - it is not fair to this excellent hotel.
