Very disappointed

Room was clean and tidy with a great view. The problem was we had a single room they just put a double bed in making the room so small with very little room to walk rnd one bedside table one light. Paid far too much for this room and when mentioned it at check out told that’s just how they are on the 7th floor you should have booked 6th. What kinda answer is that?? Very disappointing

The View Hotel has fantastic seafront rooms which make the most of the view along the promenade from the pier along to the start of the South Downs. The room was clean and comfortable and in the morning the breakfast was very well set out for an efficient start to the day.
