The Esplanade Hotel is a 2star in a great location right on the seafront with the shops and bus station only 5 minutes walk away. The hotel looks tired and is in urgent need of redecoration inside and out. It is an old building so there is a labyrinth of corridors.Our room was an acceptable size with a television and tea and coffee making facilities.

The EsplanadeHotel in Paignton in Devon has some good points and some awful ones.It is a two star hotel and it was probably built in the early 1900's. The best way for us to present our review is in sections. THE ROOM. It was very small with a microscopic bathroom with no daylight.

ARRIVAL AND CHECK IN
'
We arrived on Saturday morning 12th August 2006 at around 11am and although you are not able to book in until 2pm, the staff at the hotel are fantastic. They gave us the parking permit and told us we could come back at 12.30pm, as the room would be ready then. We parked up and went off for an hour or two around the harbour, which is situated about two minutes walk from the hotel. The staff are very warm and friendly and the overall appearance of the reception area is very clean, tidy and well maintained.
