“The Esplanade's position near Scarborough Beach and the Spa provides a compelling base for seaside exploration. While some rooms show wear, the friendliest staff and sea-view beer garden certainly add to the appeal. It strikes me as a traditional, family-oriented option with just enough Victorian charm.”
