“In my opinion, this hotel is a simple but well-situated choice directly on Eastbourne's seafront. The family-friendly studios, some with sea views and kitchenettes, suit longer stays. I think its best asset is its pet-friendly policy, which makes it easier for people traveling with dogs.”

adequate stay near the beach

comfortable bedspacious roomsmeared mirrorsentrance redecoration

i stayed in room 119 for two nights. the room was spacious with a really comfortable bed. there was plenty of storage, totally adequate for my stay (it helped me organize my belongings). the breakfast was continental and very nice, with a cheery and friendly lady making sure i had what i needed.

The entrance is somewhat in need of redecoration, and the windows need to be cleaned. i found that more attention to detail from the cleaning staff is needed. The mirrors were smeared (this didn't take long to fix, though).

the location was good and right on the seafront. the staff were friendly (leanne was especially helpful). the room was spacious enough and the bed provided adequate comfort.

the hotel entrance looked a bit tired with windows needing cleaning. i noticed the mirrors in the room needed more attention to detail from housekeeping. the breakfast was continental and i think the housekeeping should be checked.
