We were upgraded to a courtyard room- it was small, dingy and smelt of damp. Also members of staff were smoking outside our room so the room smelt of cigarette fumes. But the shower was fantastic!

The pool was lovely and warm and we had it all to ourselves for a good hour. The gardens were lovely aswell.
Food- the evening meal was fantastic, if you want a good meal then this was the place (£25 for 3 courses). I would recommend this place for dinner. Breakfast on the other hand was awful- one day the food was barely cooked and the next the chef was just making up the orders as he went along or the waitresses were sending to the wrong tables.

This has the makings of an excellent hotel but they need to spend some money on the rooms and improve breakfast service before I would venture back again.
Scarborough was fabulous and I would definately return back to it's old fashioned seaside resort plus pubs and shops but just not stay at this hotel!
