“Lobster Hall strikes me as a smart choice for exploring Whitby, primarily for its walkable access to the town center. The stylish decor, particularly the feature wallpaper, adds a welcome touch, even if the style leans towards traditional. The convenience of on-site parking, though limited, is a definite advantage in this area.”

a really nice place!

great location free parking helpful staff
the LOCATION is great for accessing the town center. free parking is a definite bonus. i could use the bar, and check-in early was allowed with helpful staff. there was also plenty of tea and milk provided in the room.
the plumbing needs updating because the toilet doesnt flush very well.

while breakfast at a nearby location is an option, i didn't partake. the inclusion of ample tea and milk in the room allows for personal refreshments. it is a useful and very welcome touch.
