Guests often find the rooms spacious, with some even enjoying unexpected sea views, and appreciate the tea and coffee facilities. While some guests have mentioned that the rooms can get hot, many find it to be great value, especially considering its proximity to the seafront and attractions like the South Downs Way.

I booked directly. I received an upgrade from a single room to a double room with a sea view. It was appreciated. The room included a shower, a bath, and tea and coffee. The location is good. It is a walk to the town centre and rail station. There are two Wetherspoons nearby.
The receptionist was not friendly upon arrival, disappointing. I was told I had to eat in my room with my dog, as dogs are not allowed in communal areas. I found this unacceptable. The meals seemed average, and my eggs were rubbery ONE morning.

Wonderful Stay with Fantastic Location

sea viewclean roombuffet selection
My large room had a wonderful view of the sea. The pier was visible from the window. I found the room very clean and it looked recently renovated. The buffet selections provided ample variety and tasty options. The hotel is situated right on the seafront. Many shops are a short walk away!
I noticed the beer pipes were cleaned early at 22:00. There was no draft alcohol available after that.
