Hello and thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that you decided not to book because you felt that the hotel was 'tired'. The Riviera Hotel is very well located in Torquay, close to the town centre and is just 3 mins walk from the seafront. It has indoor leisure facilities, a brand-new Sports Bar and a show-bar with nightly entertainment. Many of the bedrooms have recently been refurbished and you can guarantee one of these rooms for a reasonable supplement (subject to availability). Not all hotels suit all people, of course, but £139 for 3 nights' dinner, bed and breakfast, nightly entertainment, a festive theme, coach travel & excursions is exceptional value, and we are sure that the people who are booked will not be disappointed. If you change your mind, please let us know - we'd love to have you join us.
