Friendly hotel on Eastbourne seafront
Pros:

The comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, the breakfast selection. Last but not least the warm, friendly staff who looked after us very well.

Cons:

There was a conference of some kind which we appreciate you need from a business perspective. It was irritating though that they could not be contained within a couple of meeting rooms so that paying guests could enjoy their holiday chatting without the overbearing nature on the delegates.

Good location
Pros:

The sea view from our room.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

For what we paid, we would expect a fully functioning TV. Despite raising the issue, we were still left with the same TV and remote control so worn we couldn't read the numbers on it and it only worked with great effort.

Carpet in the room was rather worn and needs replacing.
