The dining room ouzes comfortable and classy again showing off the best in a dining experience allowing a party of friends and family to a romantic night out very special. A private dining area just off the bar is comfortable and allows for a larger group a little more . privacy. You get what you pay for and I have never been disappointed to pay that little bit more.

The salad had no dressing and was mostly yellow instead of green. The main dish wish a meat pie and it was so bad that I couldn't even finish the one bite that I did take. 4) The coffee machine was broken and they served filter coffee that was more toilet water than any resemblance of coffee. You know it's bad when they ask to try it and had to spit it out. Very poor and I will advise my colleagues we do not come back here.

My reasons for visiting Hull are not for the Holiday Inn Hull Marina, they were for attending my younger brother's Graduation Ceremony (University of Hull). The breakfast and dinner at Holiday Inn Hull Marina was very good and I really seem to like it. Hull was Britain's number famous fishing town, but with regret not anymore. The music band, the Beautiful South, were originally from Hull. Before they were known as The Housemartins. Paul Heaton from the Beautiful South still has a house near Hull.

I was once a Pierette. A dancer on the Pier, at the Variety shows, for a season, when I was at art…read moreschool. There was a fire in the dressing rooms at this time and when it was snowing in winter (we went back to do Panto) we had to all hold hands and the outer ones gold the railings to get off the pier without slipping over. I also entered dance festivals here alongside Margo Henderson. (Once Prima Balleriana with the Royal). Cleethorpes Pier opened during the August Bank Holiday of 1873. Built by the prestigious firm of Head Wrightson. Ordered by the Cleethorpes Promenade Pier Company and largely financed by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, Cleethorpes Pier opened during the August Bank Holiday of 1873. Cleethorpes Pier was constructed of iron piles under a timber deck. Its length, due to the considerable tidal movement, extended a full 1,200ft (366m). The Railway Company (later known as LNER) took a lease on Cleethorpes Pier in 1884, for an annual sum of £450, before finally buying the structure 20 years later. A seaward end pavilion was built in 1888 but this was destroyed in a blaze in 1903. In 1905 shops and a café were built at the pier-head, on the site of the old building, along with a new pavilion midway along the pier neck, to the right of the main deck. This new pavilion originally lacked any form of heating and was therefore largely confined to summer use. Entertainment included concerts and popular dances throughout the week. For some time the pavilion was also home to the Cleethorpes Musical Festival; an event highly thought of in musical circles at the time. The provision of heating in 1923 ensured that entertainment could be scheduled throughout the year. The pavilion survives today and remains in a well-maintained condition. The final part of the 1905 redevelopment was the construction of an elevated link to the adjoining 'Pier Gardens', but this was removed in the late 1930s. In 1936 ownership passed to Cleethorpes Borough Council. Sectioned during the Second World War for fear of invasion, Cleethorpes Pier like so many others was never to recover in its original form. The breached section was left unrepaired after the war and eventually the isolated seaward end was demolished, reducing the pier length to a mere 335ft (101m). £50,000 was spent on modernising the pavilion in 1968, the new facilities including a 600-seat concert hall and a new café and bar. Ownership passed to Funworld Limited in 1981 but, after suffering poor attendance for their first season of summer shows, the company decided to close the pier in 1983. Cleethorpes Pier's future looked in doubt until Mark Mayer purchased it in the summer of 1985. Re-opening on 4th September 1985 the pavilion had been transformed, at a cost of £300,000, into a modern nightclub by the name of 'Pier 39'. The pier changed hands again in 1989 being purchased by Whitegate Leisure PLC who, after spending substantial funds on again refurbishing the pavilion, continue to operate 'Pier 39'.

Welcome to the 40-watt hotel. Where you can check out anytime you like, but you can't find the door…read moreto ever leave. So last weekend I stayed in Wortley Hall hotel the night before a wedding. Unfortunately though the group were in great spirits there were a large number of things that just made this place unbearable. Firstly the decor: The hotel section especially is in dire need of a full redecoration. Peeling wallpaper, smelly communal spaces and tatty carpets were found throughout. In fact the only place which seemed to have been looked after was our room, however despite the competently hung wallpaper there were still a few crucially lacking features, most importantly a safe (which we were told there would be for the wedding rings, meaning keeping them in someone else's room overnight). The bathroom was a bizarre mess, simultaneously clean and dirty. The cheap lino stuck to our feet getting out of the laughably small showers with it's semi-functional door. It is only fair to say that the house-keeping had done a good job and everything was as immaculate as they could make it, so it's not laziness, just dilapidation and incompetence. Secondly the house-staff: While one of the bar staff and the breakfast staff were very nice and pleasant they struggle to make up for the remaining staff. Upon arrival we were just stared at blankly during check-in (not even a hello), during our evening in the bar the staff were slow and rude, one girl especially had a habit of announcing the prices while thrusting her hand over the bar and not making eye contact. "Five Ninety!" *thrust and look away bored*. Thirdly the smell: I can't comprehend exactly what is going on here but throughout the night we encountered a large variety of very unwelcome smells in the hotel. From a faint whiff of bowel movement in the corridors, to a mixture of urine and bleach in the bar, to a rather unfortunate vomit odour in one of the breakfast rooms. I can't tell if this is a product of recent nights of the long encrusted truth of what happens at your average Wortley Hall bash, but it was unpleasant to say the least. Lastly, the fixtures and fittings: This all culminates in the most bizarre feedback I could ever give to a hotel. The overwhelming impression that the entire building was appointed for the dwarves from Lord of the Rings. "What kind of a comment is that!?" I hear you ask. Well what else am I to think when all the mirrors are at a height of 4'6" and all the light bulbs are so dim I think they actually produced darkness? This decision to make all the rooms the Gimli suite may we be deliberate ("It was deliberate!") but that doesn't make it any less a bad idea. Also, I though I did know Dwarves were natural sprinters, I didn't know that they didn't like condiments with their breakfasts. Not a jot of brown sauce, a dollop of ketchup, or heaven forbid a little piccalilli was on offer. Better get some beanjuice while you're up! The most saving of graces here are the grounds. Lovely, well kept and well described. I would only add this, go see them before someone sets up a bouncy castle or a sumo ring in them, which appears to be a daily occurrence around 11:30.
