No thrills functional stay.
The hotel is clean but a little dated. Breakfast in the restaurant was nice but there were a couple of flies buzzing around which seemed odd for time of year. All perfectly functionable and rooms quite spacious. Handy location, situated off main road into Brighton and good parking.

Overall the property is ok however, for someone that has worked in the industry for over 40 yrs I do feel a few points could be improved: 1) Receptionist on arrival, should of confirmed duration and rate 2) I prefer either suit or uniform to be worn 3) Room it’s self had was ok and had heap rails in bathroom but no access for a disabled person to access bath/shower although this was advised I do feel that this could easily be altered by changin the bath to give access for a disabled person. 4) Patkong there was a range over parked over 2 disabled parking bays making it very difficult for others to park in the next bay. 5) On departure receptionist didn’t ask if our stay was ok? The above points are feedback to make things more professional and for staff to be more courteous and caring about guests instead of them being treated like it’s just money being pays to the hotel but also re the bathroom upgrade we are in the 21st century this is basic DDA compliant.

Comfortable, reaonably well presented and convenient location. Welcoming Receptionist not very good or articulate. Dining Room, no side plates, no small knives. I know, picky, but fhe little things are important. That said, we will doubtless stay there again.

Very quiet homely feel. I would have preferred a shower to a bath and did not find it easy to get in and out of the bath to use the overhead shower. I was glad of the grab handles. Not sure if my room (102) was classed as a disabled room, but if it was, a vertical handrail in the bath would have been helpful. Breakfast was adequate but only toast available, no rolls. On the whole, I enjoyed my stay

Our room should have been cleaned on Saturday. We went out twice during the day and left the door hanger on the outside. There was cleaning stuff outside in the corridor but no one cleaned. Then knocked the door about 4.30pm to ask if we needed anything when were getting ready to go out. The breakfast wasn't great. Cooked breakfast cold on the Saturday morning.
