Everything about this place was fine. The check in was easy and the staff were attentive and friendly. The food was amazing and a cooked breakfast was also included. It is a bit hilly but we managed ok. Buses were close and they take you to most places.

It was very good value. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and wasn't "in your face" I thought the bedroom was good for its' size. The shower pressure was powerful and the room was warm. I didn't use the body/hair gel as I normally bring my own. HQ Bar is a very lovely reasonable priced stay

It's a bit of a mixed bag. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms are spotless, the location near the promenade and walkable to the TT grandstands is perfect and the breakfast is well organized and delicious. On the other hand, the property is dated and somewhat shabby and the street-facing rooms can be quite noisy in the evening, although perhaps that's a TT thing. But these are small complaints given the price, which was reasonable. I would definitely stay there again.
