Disgusting
Hotel Rudyard, What a disaster, we arrived at the hotel we got our key to the room and it was quite a shock the ceiling had a massive damp patch and the wall did as well, the on suite bathroom looked quite nice apart from a piece of cheap laminate flooring missing and the edges were raised where the damp must of lifted the edges, the bed was a 4 poster, might add was cheap, shoddy and nasty. The mattress needed throwing as it was hard and all the springs could be felt, the sheets were not the cleanest ones I had seen, the cheap nasty bedroom furniture was falling apart and the knobs fell off the wardrobe as you tried to open it, the radiator in the bathroom was on but only for about an hour the one in the bedroom did not work at all but worse was to come. The complementary coffee was all decaf but only 4 of them, there was only 4 teabags, no biscuits not much to complain about, no drinking glasses. The Jacuzzi was going to be a treat for my wife and it did work, although one of the kno...Read more

I did not enjoy my stay.
Sorry, it’s a long one. Didn’t intend it to be when I started writing it.
Great location. Nice building...then you go inside. Don't expect to be able to eat if there is a wedding on - they wont serve you food or even provide room service. I was told by the female member of staff who seems to do everything (and obviously doesn't get the obligatory 11 hours between shifts) that the nearest place to eat would be Leek, and that was a good 3 miles away. I'd had a drink so had to settle for a bag of nuts for my dinner. Seems that they put all their effort into making sure the wedding party are happy and forget the other money paying guests. As it happens we were invited to the evening reception for the wedding which was why we stopped over.
The room was big but basic. The bathroom was poorly finished, with a sharp step with poor laminate floor. The shower was waist height, probably due to the fact it did not have a shower curtain. Water went all over the laminate floor (saf...Read more

Dreadful breakfast
An OK Hotel. Room/Bathroom OK. The amount of damp patches on ceiling would suggest the roof leakes. Bar meals and cavery dinner OK for the money. Breakfast - Probably the worst I've ever been offered in an hotel. Large communual tea and coffee pots, only scrambled egg (like rubber) available, canned tomatoes (turned to soup) and canned mushrooms and thin white toast.
Hard to imagine, but motorway service stations can offer a better breakfast.

OK
The hotel is OK but nothing special. The biggest problem is that it's very dated. The hotel would fit perfectly if picked up and moved to Scarborough as it's like every other seaside resort hotel... decor a little old, food OK but average, service a little slow. There's nothing 'wrong' with the hotel, just don't expect the Ritz!
