Lovely comfortable and convenient stay
Pros:

Location good for Royal Sussex hospital with good local bus service. Had a club room with comfortable superking size bed , coffee/tea making facilities ,fridge and bathrobes and slippers. Instead of having room made up we had free drinks. Bar felt very inviting and cosy. Felt safe with plenty of nearby eating places to choose from.

Great one night stay
Pros:

The hotel was gorgeous and perfect for a one night stay. Staff were great. Free Parking was a bonus! The hotel bar was gorgeous and not too badly priced. They let us store our bags after check out as well which was very helpful.
Location wise it is a bus ride away from the main part of Brighton but the marina is a nice enough area. Not much to do if kids are involved though. Definitely an adult area of town with lots of restaurants and probably one of the nicer Wetherspoons I have ever been in. On a hot summer day, this area would make you feel like you were abroad somewhere.

Cons:

Would love to have had breakfast with the hotel stay but at an additional £24 per person, we gave it a miss and went to the Wetherspoons which was a 5min walk from the hotel. Also not a problem for us but it is a dog friendly hotel which may put some off.

Stunning location, great hotel
Pros:

Staff are excellent - welcomimg, knowledgeable and friendly. The room was spacious, comfrtabale bed - amazing view. The breakfast was OK. Location perfect.

Cons:

The room and hotel felt grubby; it needs a good clean. For example, the inside of the lift doors were filthy, the bin in our room was dirty, a glass panel under the TV had handprints and smears, and the chair in our room was stained. The place needs a good clean.
The breakfast was OK, but the staff were not great—they avoided eye contact when we tried to order. The black pudding was undercooked. When requested cooked, we promptly got new microwaved (molten hot) black pudding. There was no marmalade (staff didn't know what marmalade was and offered raspberry jam!).

Weekend getaway
Pros:

This was a last minute one night get away. Firstly there is free parking, but you have to contact the hotel to find it as the info is not on the booking site. Once parked it's a short walk along the boardwalk to the hotel. Once inside it gives off a very relaxed and welcoming vibe. Staff were very pleasant and answered all questions. The room was clean and tidy, bed was very comfortable, we had a great night sleep. We had breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the marina. There was continental and cooked options and there was plenty of it. It will be a place that we will revisit when the weather improves as it would be nice to sit out on the deck and enjoy the views with a cold one 😀
