Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It’s ok, needs updating. Most staff friendly, only let down by a couple.
Room with sea view… only just!, over looking ugly roof.
Food mediocre but hot.
Probably wouldn’t recommend unless updated.
We stayed for a couple of nights and found the staff to be very friendly and happy to help. The room was comfortable and spacious. Difficult to fault it, so I won’t.
Friendly and helpful receptionist. Very professional approach by not shouting out the room number but just giving the key cards - excellent. Dinner was also excellent with good service. Room very comfortable. Not much of a view but no complaints.
We loved our stay in Cowes. The hotel
Staff were helpful, friendly, and very accommodating. Most of the other guests had been visiting for a number of years. And the view could
Not have been better. Thanks for a great time. Would highly recommend.
