Rooms are comfy and clean, we’ve been coming here for around 30 years and the communal areas are in a terrible unclean state and smell, new carpets and a lick of paint wouldn’t go a miss. Travel lodge will take over in 2027 if they don’t address it.

Great place
Nice stay, the hotel was not that easy to navigate but got the hang of it, staff helpful with on site restaurants/bar/casino.
Comfortable beds, everything you need in the room. The only thing I could say negative about this hotel was the well worn carpets, otherwise a great base for tripping about with a really good breakfast & we had a evening meal there which was delicious & good value)))

The location is perfect right on the Promenade waterfront. Everything is within walking distance to The Strand for shopping and dining. Very friendly staff. The hotel is clean and safe but definitely very old and frumpy. In need of repair & updating.

Not the greatest
This hotel is really outdated. There isn't any AC, the walls are really thin, musty, our toilet was broken, the furniture is run down, in dire need of upgrades. Most of the buildings in IOM are old, but for the price, there needs to be upgrades. The breakfast buffet is average, it was just convenient for us.

Typical best western hotel, run down in lots of areas, threadbare corridor carpets etc but the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Expensive for what it is but adequate for a night or two! Has its own parking behind the hotel which is useful for parking motorbikes etc from plain view.

Tired decor
The bathroom was a problem- couldn’t run a bath as the tap was faulty. Toilet flush button required some strength to push. Nescafé on hospitality tray- stuck in the 70s…
All in all, this hotel needs a revamp.

2 nights stay
Second time I’ve stayed here and the room looking out to sea was a good improvement over the one facing the car park. It was a bigger room that seemed more modern and had amazing views of the Douglas bay. Breakfast is self serve and has most things you’d want from cereal, fruit, yoghurts, juices etc to full English so perfect for most needs. There’s a few restaurants on site and I’m sure you can find something to suit, I ate in the main restaurant and had the carvery both nights which was ok.

Whilst it may feel a little dated and can be a little noisy in the evening, the facilities are good, and well kept. The beds were firm but comfortable and the pool & spa were very enjoyable. It’s also well positioned over the bay and within easy walk of the heart of Douglas.

Hotel with spa on seafront
We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting family at the end of August. Check-in was efficient and the staff we met were pleasant and helpful.
On arrival the room was clean although as others have commented, the carpets, furniture and fittings appear tired, dated and in need of a refresh. The cleaning policy is to change towels and clean rooms after 3 days. As we were booked for 4 nights it would have been better to have refreshed the room halfway.
Breakfast is a buffet which we ate once. There was a range of fruit juices but they ran out of water. I liked that there was fresh fruit and the croissants were fresh and flaky. The cereal selection was limited to individual packets. For cold options there was sliced cheese but no cold meats or fish. The hot options were bog standard bacon, sausage, eggs etc. I was disappointed that Manx kippers, a local delicacy weren't available but perhaps there is no demand for them.
I liked that there are vending machines so that you can buy water when you want
The hotel's spa is its crowning glory. The pool is a decent size for casual swimmers, the jacuzzi, steamroom and women's sauna worked well and the showers and changing room were clean.
