Break away from bigotry

This is one of my favourite hotels to stay in Scarborough despite it being owned by the Britannia group of hotels . Where I live there is a lot of bigotry towards LGBTQI + people so I decided to take a break away from local bigots for a few days The lovely reception person saw how stressed and tired I was and as I love a high floor I was upgraded to the Gordon Suite, room 502 on the very top floor of the hotel . Bar a television without an antenna or a remote in the bedroom I had an excellent stay away from people in order to get my stress levels down . I enjoyed the upgrade and was well away from others which was just what I needed. Stayed many times at the Royal and I’d recommend it over the sister hotel the Grand .

Lovely historic hotel

Spacious and very comfortable room with a sea view and all the amenities I required in a room, including the bonus of a coffee machine. The building was very grand and full of character and in a very central and convenient location. Would stay here again.
