Converted broom cupboard

very small room. Had to move chair to access the sink. View of Scarborough obscured by v.dirty window. Toilet was in an alcove with a door on it and no extractor fan. Bed runner / scarf stained - didn't stay the 2nd of two nights went home. Check-in took nearly an hour. Bed uncomfortable, would probably have been better on a park bench. Exterior of hotel and foyer / reception grand, rest of the place shabby and in need of urgent renovation. Avoid.

Not for seagull haters.

The bed was probably the most uncomfortable thing I've ever slept on. Seagulls, my god the seagulls... Seagull droppings everywhere outside, constant squarking day and night. I know it's a seaside hotel, but the amount of nests on the building really doesn't help the place out. Otherwise pretty much what expected for a last minute cheap hotel stay.
