Lovely stay again. Comfortable welcoming hotel
Last minute break to Brighton and back to our favourite hotel. The staff here are lovely and welcoming. Parking onsite is a massive bonus. It’s an historic building so yes there are a few wrinkles and cracks…… we all get those with age!! She’s in a great location, warm and welcoming with clean comfy beds, warm rooms, hot showers and a good breakfast -we love her.
