Rooms could do with being refreshed as shower was damaged and there were no plug sockets next to the bed. Had to ask for an extension lead as i have medical equipment i need to pkug in next to the bed. Receptionists were both lovely, helpful and accommodating.
Staff will rude hotel full of immigrants, advertised as having a pool and spa non-existent breakfast advertised as part of the cost of the room this was chargeable but this is probably or possibly and hotels.com issue rather than the hotel

This is a 3 star hotel so i wasn't expecting much, however on one occasion one of my bath towels was dirty. At breakfast time on the day of leaving there was very little for breakfast, I got the last sausage and when my husband went up all he came back with was beans and a fried egg. This is unacceptable especially when we paid for the breakfast. I know it said free but when we added breakfast the price jumped up by £80.00. Also not happy to pay for parking my car especially as I am registered disabled. All in all I wont be coming back
Reception area looked good. Arrived early so sat in lounge until check in time. Our room was on 6th floor & looking out towards sea. Room itself was very outdated. Beds were at least the 3’ width. Not much space to get out of bed on one of them. We found the toilet did not flush unless you did 3/4 times. During the night there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in bathroom.. I knew I was not imagining things when my wife also reported it to me. Mentioned this to reception. Evening meal, selection on menu very poor. In fact us & another family related couple were the only 4 in there. After long drives we did not fancy trying to find somewhere else. Breakfast, fresh fruit had run out. Waitress said more being prepared. Be 5 minutes.
Was told this on 3 occasions. 20 minutes later a bowl of pineapple & some chunks of water melon appeared.
One coffee machine stopped working. It was still not working on following morning. Quassants tasted stale.
Bearing in mind that the room rate had doubled as it was Ayr gold cup weekend. Nearly £250 /night. Plus car park charges per night of £7.
I will not ever be stopping there again. Choose wisely.
Another family member stayed at another hotel close by & were also very dissatisfied so maybe it’s an Ayr thing.
Having read some of the reviews for this hotel I was concerned that it might not be up to scratch. Yes the hotel building is an ugly eyesore but there’s not much can be done about that. The way the building looks is where the bad points end for me.
The hotel is in a great location in the town centre, easy access to trains and buses but it also has parking a few short yards from the main entrance.
Inside the hotel there a really nice reception and bar, the rooms are a good size and very clean and comfortable. The age of the decor might lead some to think the rooms could look cleaner but they are definitely well maintained.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and it’s easy access everywhere if you’re not as mobile as others.
If you get a high floor sea view room then your stay is even more improved.
Nothing bad to say.
The room was tiny, with just enough space to get along 2 sides of the bed with the bed shoved into a corner. The hotel is very tired and needs a facelift. Ayr seems very depressed.
