Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the room size, which was much bigger than expected. The rooms were fantastic, albeit a little dated, and the odd placement of the TV didn't bother me as I enjoy that type of style. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the overall experience was great.
The hotel had a few issues with the rooms, like cobwebs, chipped bath, and a cracked sink. However, the location was decent with fans provided for hot weather. The service was a mix of absent pool staff but helpful bedroom assistance. The dining experience fell short in quality but had some good items like hash browns.
My stay at Marks Tey was a mixed experience. The room was spacious but a bit dated, though clean with nice bedding. The swimming pool was a highlight, being lovely and warm. The reception staff were helpful, but overall, I was not completely satisfied.
