“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.”

The keyless entry was super convenient. I received the codes 24 hours before my stay. My "Double Room" had cooking facilities with a microwave and twin stove. I also found a nice-sized TV and a comfortable bed.
The room had slightly thin walls. I could occasionally hear conversations.

fantastic experience near the sea

great locationspacious roompowerful showercomfortable room
the location was very nice very close to the pier and shops. the room was quite spacious and featured a table for dining plus cutlery plates and a microwave. i appreciated the tea and coffee provided and the shower was really powerful. i really liked having all of this available to me. i found the access very easy. the keyless entry to the building and bedroom was sent to me 24 hours before my stay and it was very efficient. the room was bigger than i expected and had everything i needed to cook. the bath and shower worked great and the tv was a nice size. i loved the comfortable room with plenty of pillows and towels. there was even a fan included which was useful. the sea view from my room was a nice bonus. i will definitely book again. the housekeeper was friendly and helpful. he showed me around the room and explained how to access everything. i found this very useful. i really appreciated his help.
i noticed some dust on the surfaces. a decorative cushion had some dirty fingerprints on it. there was also less than one toilet roll in the room for my three-night stay.

The room included various seating areas. I LOVED the code access system. I didn't worry about losing a key. I could almost see the sea from the room, a nice surprise.
The carpet on the stairs showed significant wear and tear.
