Reviews and Ratings
My recent stay at this wonderful place for a night on a golf society tour of the island was nice, even though the room was very hot. I'm not sure what they can do to fix it, but overall, it was an enjoyable experience. I wish they had a walk-in shower available.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with a fantastic view from my big and comfortable room. It could use a bit of a makeover as it felt a little old-fashioned at times. The service was excellent, and the location couldn't be better for enjoying Shanklin beach. The dining experience was a bit hit or miss, although the pancakes were exceptional.
Upon arrival, the room I entered was incredibly cold, which was a bit of a shock, but the cozy bed made up for it. The shower, unfortunately, lacked pressure, and I struggled to get the water hot. Despite the outdated decor, the room was quiet, offering some solace during what was a rather somber visit.
