Location was good. Some staff very helpful and friendly

We went for an overnight stay just to spend some time in Scarborough as we hadn't been there for a while. We saw this hotel online and it looked nice and was not too expensive. We walked from the train station as it is only about 10 mins away and quite easy to find. They are doing some renovation work to outside and there is scaffolding around the building. We went in and it is very quaint and has a little old fashioned decor in the downstairs areas, but it is very clean and tidy. We were checked in by a lovely helpful lady. There is a lift which is can hold 2 people snugly, if your on the large side you will have to cuddle. I would say that a wheelchair user would not be able to get in. The room we had was at the end of a narrow corridor and was lovely, it looked like it has recently been decorated and was spotlessly clean, with an en suite shower and toilet. There was complimentary coffee,tea and milk and kettle. In the en suite was complimentary shampoo/showr gel and soap, with clean towels. The room was at the back of the hotel and it was very quiet, apart from the seagulls that were around which is normal. We ate out but you could have a meal if you ordered at the bar, which the lady said she would open early if we would like a drink. She also said we could have breakfast in the morning which could be paid for at the bar on arrival. Overall it was a very nice and pleasant stay. It is a bit outside the main shopping area, about 10 mins walk across the bridge and up a slightly steep incline and there is steps at the entrance so if you have trouble walking don't go there.
