Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were small, not very fresh, and in need of modernizing. More security is necessary during meals. However, the location offers breathtaking views and easy access to notable attractions in Portland. The dining experience provided a high-quality assortment of dishes, but there were some disappointments.
The hotel offers basic but adequate rooms, which were brilliant for my mother. Although they overlooked a shabby and broken pool, they could have been slightly more spacious. The location is superb, with a bus running right outside every ten minutes to Chesil Beach or down into Weymouth.
