“The genuine warmth of the staff is a standout, handling issues with remarkable speed and care, which significantly elevates the guest experience. Its seafront position places you perfectly between Brighton and Hove, though internal spaces, while clean, are more basic. Considering the value, particularly for solo travellers, it's a solid choice that often surprises with thoughtful touches and excellent service.”
