The Good:
- Rooms are a nice design, bathroom as well
- Beds are comfy
- Great staff, really friendly reception, restaurant, and bar staff.
- Great food  had a roast & it was very nice.
- Great function room, good size & a separate ballroom although it was very hot with a roomful of people.
- Good rates.
- Close to the shops & Newquay town itself

The Bad:
- Almost zero parking, unsure of the pay & display car park across the road, ended up parking on St Annes Road around the corner which probably annoys the homeowners.
- The same drugged up homeless (at least looking) man who was trying to get into my car when I did was also being put up for the night in the hotel by the looks of it.
- Bit of a maze to get to your room (depending on  where you are), we went through about five doors into what used to be another building up steps, around corners etc, but not a major problem.
- Poor shower head, ended up taking it off & hosing myself down instead like a dog after a muddy walk...

The Ugly:
- Dirty teaspoons
- Dirty mugs, even the plastic cups in their respective wrappers were dusty.
- Fine white dust from what I suspect is the building site next door lines the room, not much the hotel can do apart from a good wipe down & keeping the windows shut afterwards until the guests come in.
- Under the desk not cleaned, still had leaves(?) and a peanut to boot under it.
- Dated & tired interior of the hotel itself.

The Questionable:
-Bathroom door is a on a slider, toilet faces directly out towards the side of the bed, best ask your room sharer at least keeps the door shut, last thing you want is to open your eyes & see their face of concentration staring back at you...

The Mindful:
- Park on the road.
- Keep your mind open.
- Bring your own drinkware or ask for some from the reception. 
- You get what you pay for.
- Think happy thoughts when a stoned bloke presses his face against your passenger front window whilst attempting to grab the door handle...  then see him checking in for the night later on...

The Result:
Would I stay here again?
Only if I had to

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, The Questionable & The Mindful

Arrived at the hotel for a couple of nights  had a very warm welcome from the receptionist jade, gave us a lot of information where to eat and places to visit  it was our first trip to Newquay the beach is a couple of minutes away and the town a short walk away , we booked breakfast during our stay which was amazing our  room was clean and comfortable all the staff were very friendly , including the maintenance guys and the painter all went out of there way to make us very welcome the dining room staff and the lovely cleaners upstairs we would definitely stay again thank you for a lovely stay .

Lovely stay 😊

I visited the Sandy Lodge for a friends wedding. The wedding was amazing, the hotel was the perfect location and put on a great experience from the catering to the multiple function rooms in which we could move between for the different stages of the day, The only thing to let the day down was the weather for the short walk over to Tolcarne beach for some photos. The venue made up for this with a modern, airy and spacious dining area which also doubled for the wedding ceremony and the great live music and entertainment in the evening that packed out the dance floor.
The staff were friendly and efficient throughout and the fluidity was seamless.

Sandy Lodge Wedding

Had the best time away with friends. Staff are welcoming, helpful and very friendly.
Breakfast is sooo good. Massive buffet and cooked to perfection.
The hotel is closed to the sea and there's a massive selection of great restaurants around.
We as a group had the best time away. Lovely clean rooms.
I highly recommend xxxx

Brilliant

Had a really good week here, Staff were amazing and did all that I'd asked for and to be honest I am very demanding... Great night in the bar... room was warm, spotless and peaceful. 
Friendly Staff ... Amazing Room And all in Newquay... what more could you ask for... Will definitely stay again

Best Week Ever

Where do I begin, I must say that the hospitality at this hotel is outstanding, from check in to check out all members of staff were attentive to our needs , I found this hotel to be quirky and upbeat the breakfast was outstanding also will definitely stay here again , thanks for making our time in Newquay fun 

Amazing Hotel

Stayed here for a weekend with my friends for an event.  We turned up to a chaotic car park but after speaking to the reception lady (Emma we found out later) she advised on alternative parking which was around the corner. She allowed us to store our luggage until check In in an empty room which was great. We were allowed to have drinks at the bar and play the jukebox. Emma and served us @ bar as well Is there anything you do not do there?? Our rooms were all on 2nd floor we had no issues and everything was fine. When we left for the evening we spoke to a lovely lad on reception who helped organise us a taxi., he also advised on the best places to go in the town. 
We didn’t have breakfast but we were told it was very nice and good value for money. Thank you to the amazing staff We will be back.

10 out of 10 

Well where do I start?! Hotel is definitely not worth a 5 star review! Me and my partner stayed a couple weeks ago the room was tiny and dirty, not hoovered and hair on carpet. Asked the miserable blonde woman on reception if we could change rooms and she completely ignored us. We came back after getting food and was greeted by a skinhead looking dirty man who looked like he was on sort of substance and he kept following us and asking us if we wanted anything as in drugs and we kept saying no and he still followed us around the car park while we were trying to have a cigarette.  My partner noticed that there was no hot water at all and that there was black dots and red dots on the bedding so we went down to that miserable woman again and said there's not hot water and we think there was bed bugs but she looked up from her chair and she was chatting to someone on her phone and finished doing that before getting up and coming out of her office. I asked for a room change and she just snapped back 'there's no other room's’.
Once they have your money they don’t care at all, and we were woken up several times that night by the bald male member of staff who was on the desk that evening and some young blond lad walking up and down corridors laughing and talking about how they do what they want in the hotel, and the corridors were like a human race track, absolute joke!
Definitely won't be staying there again, glad we didn’t try breakfast, didn’t want to bang into the skinhead guy again so we went out for breakfast after checking out.

Dirty Rooms, Noise all night, Worst place we’ve ever stayed!!

I think management have changed since we last stayed as the staff are rude and drunk and the hotel has gone downhill. Didn’t see the lovely reception manager with the dark hair so think she has left. A rude old blonde woman was behind the desk and later she swore at a guest and told him to “just pay your ******* bill*. We were greeted by a skinny old man offering us drugs in the car park and he was old enough to be our dad and very creepy, seemed like he had taken something. Staff seemed more interested in making fake wristbands for a local festival than dealing with any customers checking in or out. No hot water, spent the whole weekend itching and with bites on our legs. Second night there was a girl outside talking about her crack pipe in her room. Would never stay here again and will make sure nobody at my company does either, first time great experience, completely opposite this time.

Drunk rude staff, drug addicts, and covered in bites

Poor treatment by staff, constantly faced with hearing about high as a kite drugged up people who have made people feel unsafe and harassed. I got asked if I wanted crack for my weekend and the night porter seemed off his face. It is also high infested in bed bugs.
