Stayed here in March last year and was reluctant to write a negative review but i feel its warrented. Booked an offer online so was £60 for two of us for two nights room only which was reasonable for the location of the place but from the moment we got near it the alarm bells were ringing. The place is... More

First time staying at this hotel, and driving up to it I was left wondering why my business had booked me there, but once inside the hotel team were fantastic, yes the hotel is a little tired, but most hotels in Grimsby are, and would rather stay somewhere where I was greeted with a smile and genuine welcome than a...

Amazing the difference between website and reality!Thankfully I managed to park right outside the main entrance.which was less than impressive.Check-in staff were pleasant and helpful but that is all i could say in its favour. The hotel was very dated and shabby - desperately in need of attention.My room was a conflict...a bright red toilet seat?The decor was brown and... More

Stayed on business and needed somewhere handy. Arrived in dark and rain - not the best start since the car park is dark and it's not the best area of town! Receptionist friendly and efficient. Decor is definitely mid-1980s original, tartan carpets etc but at least reasonably clean. Room was a bit dingy but sufficiently warm and comfortable. TV reception... More

I made the mistake of not looking at the reviews and I wish I had!!!!!! On arriving in the dark my first thought was how close I could get to the entrance for personal safety.

Grimsby is hardly a long term holiday destination, so for the one or two nights I imagine most people stay, it's fine.

A little tricky to get to if you end up going the wrong way round the ring road. My satnav took me near the hotel but it took a good 15 minutes of going round and round until I found the car park. The decor is very tired and the place is desparate for a refurb. Still, it's marginally better... More
