Good but quite expensive.
Pros:

Location was great. Really good to have a pool. Breakfast finished too early for me to have any.

Cons:

Breakfast should go on a little later. Parking charge is excessively high for guests.

Pros:

The staff were lovely and my husband even got a birthday gift on check in as well as a free room upgrade. The view of Brighton seafront was beautiful. The location of the hotel was fantastic just a short walk to the restaurant we had booked.

Cons:

The sauna was full with the same people going in and out of the sauna before my husband and I could get to it!

A nice hotel conveniently located.
Pros:

We got a free upgrade to a sea view room! The staff were lovely and were very kind. Very centrally located near the pier and many bars / pubs.

Cons:

No early check in, but that is all really. Can't really fault the place. We got more than what we paid for.

Great for a few days away - peer at the pier Brighton!
Pros:

Excellent location, really easy to find from the train station, literally 10-15 min walk.. Think it is easily accessible by car too, with a multi storey nearby, which hotel can validate. We were upgraded to a sea view room which was really clean and spacious. Great in room facilties. We visited the swimming pool, it is quite small, you wouldn't be doing lots of lengths, but good to relax with sauna and steam too. The Breakfast was full of choice, extremely well organised and one of the best buffet experiences I have encountered as you never felt it was too busy or chaotic, despite there being lots of guests about. The staff across the hotel were extremely attentive and friendly. I would definitely stay here again for the comfort and location.

Cons:

Our air conditioning was not working initially, I think this should have been checked before the room was allocated to guests. We had to ask twice to get it looked at, once on the evening of check in and then the following day as it still hadn't been resolved and the room was really stuffy. It did get resolved thankfully after asking the second time.

Very good stay in a central location with great facilities and friendly staff.
Pros:

Very central location. Was quiet and the staff were friendly.

Cons:

The sauna and swimming pools closed at 7:30pm, which was very early, especially for guests who want to go out and come back and use these facilities later in the evening.
