My wife and I stayed here in for a night away whilst visiting St Ives. I was slightly concerned when reading the reviews as not much was being posted positively recently As it turned out we were quite happily surprised on arrival. Although renovations were still ongoing the area that was being done was closed and had no impact on where we stayed The rooms were a decent size and were decorated to an OK standard. The bar area and Breakfast were both fantastic too, as was the actual breakfast in the morning. The Gentleman on reception was friendly and very helpful I feel a little bad leaving a 3-star review as the place and staff were great.... However, the mattress on the bed was unbelievable! I've slept on many mattresses over the years but this was THE most uncomfortable. Neither my wife nor I had much sleep as the mattress was cheap, hard and if you stayed in on position for more than half an hour you'd get pins and needles. I understand that different people like different mattresses. I prefer harder mattresses than my other half, but neither of us could sleep on this one! This led to neither of us sleeping much and both waking up with a sore back The hotel has huge potential what with being on the river and so close to a lovely town like St Ives. I just hope that the renovations will ultimately include changing and upgrading the mattresses
