“Good location but room quite 'tired.'”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The room was really warm. There was a fan provided but it was hot. There were no net curtains at the window and it faced directly towards the Jury's Inn hotel opposite which meant that the guests there could see straight over into our room. This was irritating as every time we got changed we had to close the curtains and/or hop about. I was told that all the twin-bedded rooms are on the side so worth knowing if (like us) you'd asked for a sea view! It's even odder that the hallway windows had unnecessary nets...!
눇The location is ideal, right on the front. When we arrived in our room there were a couple of cupcakes waiting as I'd said in advance that it was a birthday trip for my daughter. It was a nice touch.

“Dissapointing stay in Brighton hotel”
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The building is very tired, decor shows many signs of damage and no effort to repair. The one lift available is small, grubby and the button panel is grubby, worn and has a hole in it. The room was small and every floorboard creaked. Only one socket was available if you found it behind the TV. The room had a cheap stand fan that was noisy and no air conditioning. The bathroom fittings were coroded and the bath had a shower curtain which clings to you and followed you arround the bath/shower. A nonslip mat was provided that had seen better days and did not look hygenic. The shower controls were poor; hot one minute and cold the next. You need to be Herculese to get the toilet to operate the toilet flush. The garage was dark and dismal, and not easily accessible after 22:00. Breakfast was adequate, however when ordering the poached eggs on toast from the menue, two poached eggs were presented without toast. The menu should stippulate that some cooking and self assembly is required. Another guest was chastised for not paying before having breakfast. Staff were quite loud and not discreete; making it uncomfortable for the person being challenged and other guests. Perhaps staff should advise/check guests before entering the restaurant rather than making a scene inside. Staff seemed to be very focussed on money and payment, having requested access to the car park, several staff reminded me that it was extra and the cost. This was agreed at reception, why did several staff feel the need to remind guests repeatedly, is beyond me. Overall dissapointing and not what I would expect from a four star hotel with such a high rating on Booking.com

눉Breakfast is self service which whilst it means you can have as much as you like it also means it is stewed and tepid.

“As expected for a seafront Hotel.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉My wife is in a wheelchair and it was a battle to get the wheelchair into the Hotel via the mass of tables and casual diners etc. immediately in front of the hotel. Access could be improved for disabled people. Lifts extremely small and can just about accommodate one collapsible wheelchair with a carer.
눇Courteous and friendly service. Staff very helpful at all times.
