Brooklands Hotel

the hotel is in a great location and the staff are very helpfull.the quality of food was excellent and buffet style which is even better.the room i was given was clean but could do with a slight modernise as i only had a bath in my room but no shower.i am planning on staying in the hotel again even just for the quality of food.

We booked the hotel for one night's B&B as a cheap late booking. The staff on the reception desk were friendly and the check-in procedure smooth, although our first impressions were not great as the reception area and hotel corridors were very old-fashioned and tired looking. The corridors also had a bit of a musty smell in places. Our top floor room was a decent size and clean although it was basic, a bit shabby and had a large damp-looking patch on the ceiling. The bed was soft and not overly comfortable, but I've slept in worse. The breakfast buffet the next morning was okay with a reasonable hot choice, although the staff seemed to be labouring unnecessarily over seating guests at specific tables even though the whole dining room was only about a third full. We overheard one couple complaining that someone else was sitting at their table! We didn't sample the evening entertainment in the ballroom although there was a decent looking snooker table in the games room.
The hotel seems to be targetted at the budget coach party market, and from what we saw, it is clean, friendly and situated in a pleasant part of Scarborough. The hotel gave us the cheap bed for the night we wanted, although the 1970s decor is very tired and in need of upgrading. My girlfriend said she wouldn't want to stay at the Brooklands again and it is hard to recommend it to be honest, as it is basic and tired, but if you aren't looking for luxury and know what to expect in advance it should be fine.

Hotel was easy to find.
Close to the beach and tram.
Excellent views.
Good customer service.
Would stay again and recommend to anyone.
