Stayed for 3 nights Sunday 27th July to Wednesday the 30th. Found the hotel to be above expectations due to some of the reviews I had read. The room was very clean and tidy, bed very comfortable. The hotel I thought was a wonderful old building in good condition. would definately stay there again.

Cheap hotel, it would have been beautiful in its day but that's just typical of British seaside resorts. Scarborough itself was exactly as I remembered as a child, fun, cheap, tacky but great for a couple of days with kids
