Weather was okay however the hotel room needs revamping the ceiling was coming off and the windows were very dirty the bed was comfortable and the entertainment was good however the fire alarm went off at 3:30 in the morning for no apparent reason and then it went off again around 9:30am the staff were lovely and helpful but overall we spent as little time in our room as it was very small and didn’t live up to its pictures, the sights around Scarborough are lovely and fun though

Faded glory, friendly staff bit of a queue at check in and some weird guests in the nicest possible way. But this hotel was perfectly pleasant and totally unique absolutely fascinated us. So nice to stay somewhere that isn’t a generic Premier/Travel Lodge this place has a soul and heartbeat and we will definitely be back.
