“The hotel's central Brighton location is a definite plus, convenient for exploring on foot or by bus. Rooms are tidy and some offer partial sea views; the keyless entry adds a modern touch. Though parking isn't available on-site, the hotel can direct you to nearby options, which is fairly common for the area.”
