"Overall great place ...."

"Stayed here before an upcoming trip to gatwick airport. Had a really lovely stay hotel was clean, tidy and staff were beyond helpful with bus times etc. Really nice hotel. "

"This hotel is quirky and old which adds to the charm and character. Some parts are dated because they are listed and have great history. 1920’s lift! Winston Churchill chair. We loved these additions. It is clean, well presented and staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. They explained our options for room, checked we were ok on higher floor and offered to show us how to get there. (Some areas are a bit warren like to get to (part of the charm). The room was large, clean, comfy beds, well stocked with tea/coffee, toiletries and towels. Big comfy pillows, warm room, TV etc. The water pressure was challenged (explained in bathroom notice - due to old plumbing and high floor) but adequate. It got warm but not hot in shower. Drunk singing guests woke my daughter around 1am and the windows let all noise through. Noisy traffic and bin men woke me at 6am. These are not the hotel’s fault but a consideration if you are a light sleeper. The beds were really comfortable and we easily got back to sleep. It was hard to leave the beds for breakfast, but we are glad we did. Again we were met by friendly welcoming staff, explained the buffet available and asked which drink we would like. All delicious and plentiful. A large range of cooked breakfast, cereals, pastries and fruit and yoghurt on offer. We had a brilliant stay and will come again. The hotel is right on seafront and near The Lanes. Parking available. Awesome. "
