Just spent two nights at Expanse Hotel, Bridlington. First time in Bridlington, really impressed by the cleanliness, vast promenade,shops,friendly atmosphere. The Expasnse Hotel was perfectly situated for us. A bracing 10 min walk into the harbour and centre. Located directly opposite the sea, food was excellent, fresh fish for breakfast and lots of choice. Fine dining for evening meal with... More

Stayed at the Expanse for a family holiday. Grandparents stayed in the hotel and we stayed in a self catering apartment. It was the best of both worlds. Freedom for us and luxury for my parents. We joined them for a fabulous family meal one night in the restaurant and then we all went to the Marine Bar for a... More

Bathroom: paper thin bath towels, 'pound shop' toilet rolls, dirty grout on flloor & wall tiles, hardboard panelled bath (buckled), faulty hot water tap, faulty hairdryer. Bedroom/Living area: ill-fitting doors, five out of six light bulbs were obsolete, furniture tired and dust-laden, carpet pock marked,... More

Unbelievable ! Did you ever stay ? "Coffee and Tea dispensers" - we do not have them, surely you did not mean those peculiar things called "tea pots" and the others called "coffee pots", those we do have and do use. So did you stay ? I doubt in on the basis of your "report", the contast with "good weekend"... More

Staff were very good. All very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Food was also very good. Would recommend a meal in the restaurant. Excellent location right on the seafront and only a short walk to shops, resturants, bars etc but not too close to be bothered by any noise. Had a lovely stay at this... More

This is the top hotel in Bridlington and has long had a reputation for suiting the older clientele-as we fall into that bracket it did not disappoint in that respect-all quiet elegance and sobriety. The rooms were reasonably spacious and clean-we paid extra for a sea view-but a bit tired. The bathroom was large but again rather old fashioned with... More

We are very happy that you enjoyed your recent "deal" with us, and hope to see you again. Your comments about linen have been passed to housekeeping, and that practice has now ceased. Thank you for bringing it to our attention More

It is great to hear your largely positive report. We are currently updating some of our rooms - your room had recently been updated, however the bathroom had not been extended. Some of public areas have also been updated, and this, along with updating the rooms, is an ongoing process. We hope to see you again in the near future More
