Pros:

The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and accomodated all our demands with no fuss.
The rooms were recently refurbished, very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was freshly prepared and excellent with a wide choice of options available.
The location was very central, near the seafront parade and the excellent de la Warr pavillion.
