What you need from a hotel simply wasn't there. The mattress was old and saggy, bedlinen threadbare, curtains light coloured - not light-blocking. Shower hard to mix - started well, then I had to jump out because it suddenly turned very hot. I rinsed off the soap from the washbasin rather than risk getting scalded. Decided to chance the shower again in the morning and it happened again. After that I just used the washbasin, which fortunately was of adequate size. No doubt the surfaces in immediate use had been cleaned and maybe even disinfected, but the pipe leading up from the WC pan to the cistern, in full view, was grimy and so were the skirting boards. Most unpleasant. I stayed only because everywhere else in Ryde was fullt booked. But I checked out a couple of other sea-front hotels for next time, and found them well-furbished and immaculately clean, at the same price. Iron avalable. Attractive dining-rrom for breakfast. Lounge was shut due to covid.
