No cooking facilities. No sink. No seats for us to have our Breakfast at the cafe so missed out because it was to busy. Kids playing knock and run on our door from 10pm for hours.

Well appointed hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location for shopping, dining and sightseeing.
Dual purpose visit. Booked the junior suite as i had a wedding hair and makeup trial so this gave us plenty of space. It was also my 50 5th and we booked a large group for the Whitby's buffet. The staff are so friendly and accommodating at James Cook and we always feel very welcome. They went above and beyond to show our friends a room in the hotel after they were let down by other accommodation. My friends stayed as well and loved it too. Highly recommend
