We booked HQ for a weekend at the MGP, we stayed in their Glen Mona building just down the road which wasn't an issue for us, though we were on the top floor with quite a lot of stairs. The room was clean and spacious, turned down daily during our stay, and staff were friendly. We made use of the included breakfasts both mornings which were great, only thing is it was only available for around 90 minutes but this worked with our schedule anyway. We were able to walk easily to the grandstand, restaurants and bars in Douglas, and would recommend staying here again.

Everything about this place was fine. The check in was easy and the staff were attentive and friendly. The food was amazing and a cooked breakfast was also included. It is a bit hilly but we managed ok. Buses were close and they take you to most places.

Verified review

6/10 Good

The staff were helpful and polite. The room was clean but we were only given one towel. The mattress was sagging making it difficult to sleep without rolling. There was a smoke alarm somewhere that was continually beeping with a low battery warning making it difficult to sleep. The room was cleaned but toilet paper and coffee/tea were not replaced. Breakfast was good but could have done with extended service. 8-9:30 didn’t give much opportunity of you wanted a lie in. The bar was well stocked although I did feel it was overpriced (£3.50 for a small bottle of water). Staff were lovely, polite and knowledgeable on things to do. However, the hotel and rooms could do with a bit of TLC to improve them and maybe more than one towel for a room with 2 people sharing.

The breakfast was excellent. Unfortunately, the central heating was not working and it was a cold night
Verified review

8/10 Very good

It's a bit of a mixed bag. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms are spotless, the location near the promenade and walkable to the TT grandstands is perfect and the breakfast is well organized and delicious. On the other hand, the property is dated and somewhat shabby and the street-facing rooms can be quite noisy in the evening, although perhaps that's a TT thing. But these are small complaints given the price, which was reasonable. I would definitely stay there again.
