Comfortable but a little tired

My stay at the Riviera was what I expected from a seaside town, it was dated, but comfortable, the room could do with an update but I slept well, breakfast was everything I needed.

This is a traditional B&B with all the right values, which include friendly staff. It is no-frills, but that is not to disparage it. The location is fine, it is quiet but urban, the clientele is mostly pensioners and occasionally conference delegates, but middle-aged, primarily senior citizens. It gives them what they want and does so well. The staff were kind, patient and helpful. It is a model of its kind, and while others will find it faded, I accept it for what it is. It made people happy, including me.

Amazing hotel

Amazing stay. Great bed, nice hot shower, lovely spa facilities included, delicious breakfast buffet (full English) and they upgraded us for free to a room with sea view. By far the best “low budget” hotel I’ve stayed in in England.

Great location just a short walk from the beach at Alum Chine. Nice family friendly facilities with bar with games room and indoor swimming pool. The only complaint was that the room was very stuffy and in the corridor it felt like the heating was on in the middle of summer. We opened a window and had the fan we found in the wardrobe running but it would’ve been quite unpleasant had we been there during a heatwave.

Clean, tidy but dated

Nice hotel, slightly dated and kinda themed around an old cruise ship experience. Breakfast was good and it’s a clean place just needs a bit of modernisation
