The room was ridiculously small and we were isolating in it, more of a cell! Breakfast was fine, chose there presuming Chinese restaurant underneath was open, found out it shut umpteen years ago! Lady owner pleasant.

Good location. Very Clean and tidy. Breakfast very good. We had one of the older rooms with a sea view which was adequate for a couple of nights stay. However, Lei, the owner showed us around the rooms that had already been refurbished and they are excellent! Lei is continuing the renovations to bring every room up to a high standard.
The room was on the top floor and was reasonable spacious and clean. There is a lift but it is small and only takes 4 people. The breakfast was standard but service was quite prompt in the morning. The island authorities were digging up the road outside the Hotel in order to create a new Tram system along the front at Douglas. This work meant that there was a one way system in operation there and getting buses meant a detour to the bus station. The room was cleaned every day whilst we were there. We believe that the 3 stars was well earned. We did not employ WiFi whilst we were there.
I was happy with the stay generally, however I was not overly happy with being charged a single occupancy charge when getting to the hotel I noticed that being in a room alone would have been cheaper - stayed £85 per night for two staying in a room and £65 for a lone person.
Lovely island with beautiful countryside and quite towns with plenty of walks down glens.
Vintage transport systems are excellent with good reliability and something only possible to do on the island.
The islands heritage and museums are always worth visiting.
We rang the day before asking if there was somewhere at the hotel that we could leave our case as we had a morning flight and the check in time was 2pm. We where told yes we can leave case there,when we got there at 9am our room was ready so we could check in right away. There is a lift to all floors, our room was large with a double bed and a single the bathroom was large with a very powerful shower. The breakfast was great there was a set breakfast or a build your own breakfast and a list of items that you can request for breakfast the following day. The dining doubles as a Chinese restaurant in the evening we decided to have out tea there one night the meal was very good. Over all the service at the hotel is great and the staff are only to happy to help you.
The hotel is about 15 minutes walk to the town centre. In the road close to the hotel there are bus stops going both ways with a bus about every 20 minutes.
Would we return again yes

Hotel a little tired
hotel needs updating ,room ok,good breakfast.good location opposite the beach. There is no lounge to sit in except a very sparsely furnished room in the basement
Comfortable room and helpful staff. The only problem for a business traveller is that breakfast doesn't start until 8.30 am, but I was provided with cereal and toast at 7.30am on the one day I had to start early and couldn't wait for 8.30 breakfast.
Owner, told us if we used the lift we needed to pay one-hundred pounds if it broke, I'm 54. Was angry that she didnt know we were not having breakfast on our last day, although the staff were told. It is a chines restaurant and wreaks of food smells, no air con, very shabby.

Could do better!
This hotel appears a little 'tired'. Peeling paint on the hotel sign on arrival doesn't exactly instil confidence. Similar on the inside. Staff were pleasant enough though and breakfast was reasonable. The en-suite in my room was tiny, I couldn't clean my teeth without bashing my elbow on the wall. All in all, a tad shabby but it would seem that this is the case across the IOM due to a downturn in tourism.
