Very friendly and welcoming staff on arrival. Nice Reception area, but once you get beyond the reception the corridors and our room (203) were somewhat austere. Nice breakfast, but a wider selection of fresh fruit salad would be very welcome. The red berries were still frozen but the cooked breakfast was nice, plus a good choice of teas and coffee. Fabulous views over Chesil Beach from the restaurant, but the view from our room was compromised by the double glazing having condensation between the panes of glass (plus a net curtain for privacy). I would stay here again purely for the view and convenience of being where we needed to be (on Portland)
Ready enjoyed our stay. Clean, comfortable room. Good choice for breakfast. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Didn't eat in the bistro restaurant but did enjoy food from the bar menu. We added the Indulgence package to our booking and would really recommend this, well worth the cost.
Fantastically located with amazing views! The room was really clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. To top it off, they offered a really good breakfast spread with plenty of fresh food. Highly recommend staying here!
Very helpful staff in every area felt that the bar & restaurant , cafe times could have been better especially in the summer, but overall a lovely experience.
A lovely breakfast provided!
Very good breakfast and friendly staff. Didnt try the restaurant in the evening however the Sunday roast/carvery is very good. Hotel could do with a little updating to bring it into the 2020s
But the facilities are clean and adequate
We've rarely felt less welcome. Desk staff were surly and seemed to resent our intrusion into their day by, you know, checking in. The breakfast staff next morning were also surly, though the woman serving in the Café in the evening was cheery and pleasant.
The advertised EV charging is a myth. There's one granny lead socket (for 3kW) and one slow charger (7kW nominal) that wasn't working, and that's it. When we raised this we were directed to the nearby Tesco "which has fast chargers" (actual count: 0).
The room was large but minimally equipped and soulless.
They know they're the only hotel in the area and act as though that excuses them from making an effort. Which is a shame, because it's a stunning setting.
Excellent location for amazing views of Chesil Beach & wonderful very friendly and efficient staff.

Fantastic location for view points and friendly staff. However the hotel needs serious modernizing to bring into 20th century.

Excellent few days stay at the Heights Hotel.
We experienced a couple of minor “problems”
We were told the Bar served bar meals we were not told that because the hotel had a coach party in we would not be able to order our dinner until the coach party were all served and it would be up to an hour and a half before we could hope to be served.
Our other “problem” was that the toilet in our room did not flush properly thus leaving loads of toilet paper in the pan. Not nice !!
We could not fault the staff, they were friendly and very accommodating for every thing we requested.
Unfortunately as the hotel is situated on one of the highest points in Portland the views were obscured by very low cloud every day we were there.
We did several journeys away from the hotel and found much better weather and views.
We also really liked the robot waiter in the Coffee shop, a really novel idea.

Fantastic location & great views of Chesil! Good local transport. The breakfast buffet was lovely & well maintained. The room as clean & the bed was comfortable.
I only interacted with two staff members. Both were OK but didn't smile, which seems odd in customer service roles.
The hotel could be amazing but really needs a refurb. The room I stayed in smelt of damp / mould, which I could still smell on my clothes I had worn in the room. No plug sockets near the bed, which was unusual for the a hotel.
The biggest asset of this hotel is its location & superb service (5 star). The rest is a compromise to pay higher rate for your stay.

Just ok - very small cramped room. No bath towels only very small ones provided
Toiletries were just a small soap and some shower gel
Breakfast average- poor quality bread
Room service available but no phone in the room to be able to place an order
Stayed for 2 nights but coffee/tea/ milk not replenished
Unfortunately it good value for money
Shame as was looking forward to the stay
Wanted an early breakfast and was told we could have takeout breakfast reception gave us a form to fill in and basically we all wanted 2 x bacon sausage baps we were then told we could either have 1 bacon or 1 sausage bap not 2 and we couldn’t have bacon and sausage one or the other ?
Bearing in mind it’s a buffet breakfast and help yourself to as much as you want we didn’t think it was too much to ask for 2 baps each but the staff were adamant that was the rules
It makes you wonder why the country is in such a mess
Apart from that great stay would recommend

We stayed for 3 nights. Was warmly welcomed to the hotel.
Breakfast was served hot with a wide choice for all.
The staff were super friendly. The Hotel was clean, bathrooms were checked regularly.
Only comments on the whole are as othered could do with an update in terms of decor. It is rather tired.
Bedding and towels could also do with updating.
It was sufficient for what we needed. Which was a bed for the night and breakfast.
I would recommend staying. The views were also phenomenal!
We were so disappointed when we arrived at the Heights. The outside of the building looks very municipal. Inside we were greeted by the receptionist who was really friendly, welcoming and helpful, as were all the staff at the hotel.
As we walked through the corridors to our room things went down hill. The walls were covered in pebbledash, which again looked like a municipal building. Not what one would expect inside a hotel where we payed almost £200/ night.
The room decor was extremely dated and again, a real disappointment for what we paid. Our room was clean and had a large bed, and the shower was ok, but the towels provided were very thin and frayed!
Not a big deal, but the coffee cups were really awkward to use as the handles looked like they had been fixed upside down. They must have been seconds.
Our room overlooked an ugly building and parked van.
There was a notice in the bathroom expressing the managements concern regarding the environment, which I would wholeheartedly support. It was therefore very disappointing to be provided with plastic cups.
The hotel requires a total upgrade in all areas.
I’d like to re-iterate that all the staff in the hotel were delightful.
I think you will have gathered by now that we will definitely not be returning and would not recommend. We have since checked into a hotel for our second nights stay, paying considerably less for a beautiful room with an amazing view.
The view from the hotel is spectacular. Inside the room and corridors the decor is dated and shabby. The bathroom taps were grubby with grime and difficult to turn. No bottled water in the room and next to no soundproofing between rooms, especially bathrooms. The fire doors in the corridor banged when shutting. Television offered a substantial choice of channels, however,signal was so poor it was not watchable! The bedding was rough and not of expected quality, but clean. Pillows were almost solid and firm is an understatement when it comes to describing the mattress. No air conditioning and heating on in corridor and bathroom on a very mild night. A very poor 3hrs sleep!
Breakfast was self service though food was reasonable quality.
Based ourselves here for two parts of the South West Coast Path walk. Ideal location.
Great views, comfortable room and very friendly and welcoming staff.
Bistro bar has superb views and ideal to watch the sunset.
