"I enjoyed my stay at the Panorama Hotel though there were a lack of amenities like a microwave or toaster in my room, also a lack of drawers to put your clothing in. Apart from this it is a nice place to stay at and would be happy to stay there again if I ever come back to St Helens."
"No kitchen just a microwave on a small bench in a small nook! No sink.
Room is a dark box with no window to speak of, just a tiny window that you leave the blind down as another window looks straight in to yours.
Small fridge with no light and an overly frozen icebox.
TV doesn’t work after 1 minute it’s freezes and remote does not function. You have to turn off from the wall and on again and select your Chanel out of 3 before it freezes again,forget Netflix or YouTube. I suffer from flicker...
"I'd stayed at Queechy's several years ago and was happy to come back. Really clean and spacious rooms, almost like separate cottages. Already warm on arrival on a chilly day. Comfortable bed and nice hot shower. The host is lovely and good communication. Fresh milk! So close to the beautiful Bay of Fires. We'll be back."
