OK but expensive for the quality of hotel and service.
Pros:

This hotel is expensive for the rooms and facilities provided. Nothing too much wrong just top price for very average hotel. More like a premier inn than a 4 star but generally ok.

Cons:

Breakfast hot buffet was poor. Hard eggs, cold food that looked like it had been booked much earlier.

Always guaranteed a great Stay!
Pros:

Friendly Staff made my visit so relaxing, lovely girls Rossio, Christina, Honey, Lyla, Annika, not forgetting Charles the bartender! Breakfast every morning there was an absolute plethora of delicious food! The room is so large, well laid out and comfortable! Location fantastic as is just over the road to the Beach, which is the Hub of activity for Brighton, thus close proximity to most of the best Restaurants, Bars and Entertainment venues! The overall Ambiance of the Hotel makes it feel like a Home from Home!

Cons:

Not actually any thing I did not like, nothing tangible that I can think of!
