Disliked: Amenities
Staff were friendly but the Check in was like a faulty towers sketch, room was a bit bland but ok,
in room kettle scaled up, cups not cleaned properly. Shower was good with nice smelling toiletries.
The bar on the hotel is closed
Very good proximity to the beach and sealife etc,
After spending the previous night at a neighboring hotel, this didnt hit the same standard for the money paid.

Helpful and polite staff. Easy street parking, and we were surprised by this, given how busy it was.
Given that it was much cheaper than a lot, i looked at . It was good value , and clean .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Easy going staff allowed me to check in early and then kept my suitcase safe on check out so I may wander about Brighton without it. Comfortable and clean room. Quiet as bar not open but loved the earplugs being provided!
Very close to the beach. That’s about it. Wasn’t at all noisy like others have reported, however…I’ll not be back. I reported the toilet as blocked when I arrived. They said they’d sorted it. Clearly not. It flooded the bathroom with water, paper and poo. Not a good look Hotels.com
Our stay was great, staff are lovely and very helpful. Beds are comfy but the basement room we were in smelt quite damp and shower curtain is very mouldy.
To be totally honest for how much we paid over £100 a night I was very shocked at this hotel and was expecting much more for the money.
I will start with the good and say staff at reception are exceptional and very friendly and helpful and staff went above and beyond. But that is were the positive ends I'm afraid.
The toilet stank and would not flush properly, cracks in the mirror and broken toilet roll holder, not what you expect when paying over £100 a night.
Hotel supposed to serve breakfast from 8till 10 as that's what they advertise but was told was not available as no chef was working.
As I said, staff fantastic, but that can't compensate for the lack of maintenance and amenities
