My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The rooms were big, very clean, and incredibly comfortable. The location was great as it was close to everything, and the breakfast was outstanding—I couldn't fault it in any way. However, the only downside was that my room was in full sun and exceptionally hot, making it a bit uncomfortable. Nonetheless, the overall experience was superb!

The hotel's location was great for walking on the Downs and seafront. The town center and restaurants were only a 10-minute walk away, making it very convenient. Plus, being just off the seafront in a quiet square added to the peaceful atmosphere.

The hotel's location is excellent, right by the theaters and the sea, with easy access to the town center. The rooms are comfortable and clean, although they could use some decorating touches. The service is top-notch and great for local theaters. The dining experience was mostly good, except for some cooking smells. Overall, a convenient option with friendly staff and good amenities.

7.4/10

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room I stayed in was very spacious with a modern en-suite and a lovely view of the sea, although it was missing a hair dryer which I had to request from reception. The service was friendly and attentive, but I felt there was a slight lack of connection with guests. The location was perfect, just off the promenade with bright and clean surroundings. The dining experience was a bit of a mixed bag; the food quality was average, and I wished it had been warmer and fresher. The facilities were decent, but could have been enhanced with additional features like a TV in the common area for socializing.
