Hotel was good. Breakfast excellent. Staff helpful especially the late night door man. The only drawback is you have to book with the hotel itself, not through a third party,to have a reserved parking space. There is very limited parking on the surrounding streets.

Everything about the hotel and staff was perfect. The only thing that we had issue with was the parking arrangements. Our Expedia booking included free parking, but apparently parking is only guaranteed when booking directly with the hotel. Expedia were not transparent about this. Hence, on the first night, we had to park on the street and pay £14.40 for five hours...waiting for an allocated hotel parking space on a first-come, first-served basis to become available.

The room was quite well proportioned and despite being over the public bar was not noisy. Was close to the bus stop which saved us driving into Brighton and trying to find a park. Meals were good and breakfast very generous. Overall good value for money

Parking was adequate if a little tight but the hotel was very nice and clean, the staff were very attentive ensuring I was on my way and could find the location. The room itself was clean and nicely decorated with all the amenities you would need although the bed was a little too soft. Breakfast was made to order cooked breakfast which was lovely but they also had a buffet style cold menu and selection of juices, coffee machine which was lovely. Highly recommended.
