Poor service from reception and management
Pros:

Central location makes this a great place to stay in the heart of Brighton

Cons:

We didn’t get to check in to our room until 4.45 (check in is 3pm) …..we were told this was due to housekeeping staff shortage . Every time we went to the desk to check if our room was ready (they asked us to check with them every 30mins !) it was a shrug with a sorry but not ready …no estimate of how long. We were offered drinks voucher (1 drink each ) . We asked to speak to the duty manager , but told they were busy , I asked for a call that never happened.
The bar was cashless - card only.
I will not use this hotel again

We had a really nice stay there and would come back again
Pros:

Its location was spot on and in easy reach to all the amenities

Cons:

The room was a little on the small side and the restaurant could do with being a bit bigger especially at breakfast time. Also the carpark could do with being bigger

Great but so so tired and needs refurbishing!
Pros:

The staff are great but my goodness the hotel needs a refurbishment so much! I felt like I was staying in a youth hostel in Room 216!
The headboard nailed to the wall and curtains behind…. Surely the hotel must be making enough to close and refurb!’

Cons:

Old and tired decorations and interiors.
