The Staff were absolutely amazing so helpful the Breakfast was great the shower in the room was terrible no pressure would be better if you washed in the sink hotel is closing in September hope they will make things better when reopen terrible smell of damp on the stairs up to the room
View was fantastic. Room was very basic. Towel rail wouldn’t work, shower screen inappropriate and parking was extremely limited.

good room, great price, good location. staff friendly. The hotel is a little rundown and getting old and showing her age but a full renovation is coming in October. The hotel would have been a grand hotel in her day and will look forward to coming back one day when she is renovated. There are numerous bad reviews of this hotel but we found it it a good place to stay. We didn't have a beach side room but for somewhere to dump your bags a comfy bed and room did the job.

A two night weekend stay, quiet time of the year so was allocated a larger room than booked which was very much appreciated. Booking in and out was simple, staff were pleasant and room was clean and comfortable. No complaints, would happily stay here again.

The water took forever to get warm ish - never had a hot shower. Staff was limited, but friendly. We asked for clean towels on our way out in the morning; they never arrived…we picked them up ourselves at the front desk, after dinner.
Positives - reasonable price, central location, sea view from room, which was clean.
Negatives- room very hot- not possible to turn off radiator, road noise made it difficult to sleep, very aged/ faded decor

Pleasant hotel that is going through some updating. Nice breakfast. Good location by St Ives train station.
Staff great, nice bar, superb breakfast, bed comfortable. 5 min walk from railway station and the town. Some parts a little dated but doesn't make the stay worse.
