Just spent four nights at the hotel and we had a great time. Bedroom - we had a deluxe double on the 4th floor. Corridor seemed neverending. This is a big hotel. The room had a king size bed, small wardrobe (not enough hangers) and a small two seater settee. It could have done with a small coffee table for whilst watching TV. The window opened, lovely sea view, and the room did get hot but there was a fan provided if necessary. Location - at the far end of the prom. Buses stop outside every 20 mins, and go as far as Port Erin or change at terminus for rest of island. Highly recommend using the GoCard bus pass as you can use it on everything. British OAP bus pass not accepted on island. Food - really good. Buffet style for both breakfast and carvery dinner each night (different meat). Hot and tasty. Meat cut really thick and plenty of it. There is also a very good Chinese (Majestic) under the hotel but this is not included in half board. You can also get bar meals in the hotel (extra). Facilities - very nice swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna etc. Theres also a ****** (never tried), bingo hall, cheaper slots (in bingo hall) and cinema on site. The bad - room only gets serviced every 3 days. We were there 4 days and our room as not serviced at all. Not a problem as I'm capable of making a bed and admit to helping myself to supplies (tea bags, milk etc) off the trollies in corridor The shower was pathetic, no power and plastic shower curtain, prefer cubicle. A couple of times I showered in the pool changing rooms as they were much better. Carpets around the hotel are dirty and worn. Paragon restaurant chaotic. No system in place. Booked time slot but no tables available and staff seemed to be all over the place and not using any system ie allocated tables. Put in bar area for breakfast one morning and table not set up - no condiments etc. Lots of big tables and not enough small ones. Bar prices expensive. Two lifts but strangely only one came up from ground floor (had to use stairs to go down). Used to come out on promenade opposite bus stops. Lobby very bleak with dark wood and boring. Reception at back of building by car park. Felt it was good value for money for what we paid. Hotel does need upgrading. Would stay here again.
