The room had a coffee machine. The radio was nice. Crisp, white linen was provided in the room. Thick, white towels and robes were available. I noticed a spacious car park. Staff was friendly and helpful. The food was tasty and well prepared, such a treat. Bathrooms were modern and included a rain shower, a very welcome addition.
The toiletries presentation was not very convenient, I found it difficult to access what I needed. A few adjustments could make it perfect.

my room faced the street, so traffic noise was noticeable when it began in the morning. the bathroom was very nice (i loved the shower), but the room felt a bit cramped. the pillows and duvet were unpleasantly lumpy, impacting my sleep quality.

The staff provided excellent service throughout my visit. The hotel restaurant offered really good meals. My room had quirky designs and a well-stocked minibar. The location made trips to Brighton easy. The hotel also served as a great starting point for walks.
The room lacked ventilation, and the window did not open. It made the bathroom very dark.
