Had a lovely stay. Most of the staff were very helpful. Parking was right outside the front door. My room was fairly near yo the lift as i am disabled. £5 per night Parking is worth it. We will go back in October half term.

The Clifton is an old hotel but has been decorated throughout to give it a clean and modern appearance. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our room was on the 1st floor but would have asked for a higher floor to be a better sea view. The furniture was dated but clean and abundant. The bathroom was clean with a powerful shower over the bath. The shower head was loose and needs attention. There is paid parking at the hotel and in front on the promenade road. We did not have any meals at the hotel. The cost of our stay was average. Location was excellent. We would definitely stay at the Royal Clifton Hotel again. John Woolley
