The hotel is dated and in desperate need of decoration. The bedroom floor was wood flooring which looked dirty and created a cold room. The shower handles were coming away from the wall. I did sleep well and the service I did receive was good.

We stayed on a Sunday night in a HUGE family room. Beautiful high ceilings and a stunning stained glass window in an old building. The room was clean and had complimentary tea/coffee/milk etc and bottled water.
The small bathroom was functional and clean and met all of our needs. The beds were comfy and we all slept very well.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. No hot food was served but the staff had lovely recommendations for food nearby.
There was no breakfast but we found a nice cafe nearby.

The view over the painted front facades and roof tops of the Victorian houses further down in West Hill gave way to the sea and sky on the horizon. There was a gentle breeze coming in from the window cooling the high temperature of the day. The external lighting of the grounds was turned off around about the time I went to bed, so there was no light intrusion from outside - which was great. The clean, modern hard laminate style flooring in the room was clean and well maintained, with carpeted communal areas for sound proofing. Very nice welcome, comfortable double bed. Slept very well. The ensuite shower in my room was small, attractive and very clean. It looked recently updated with metro tiles and new flooring, the water pressure was excellent. Parking on the premises was easy.

I stayed in a basic room which was more than adequate. The bed was super comfy. There was also plenty of tea and coffee. The room was nice and clean. I would definitely return.

The general standard of cleanliness is not very good, particularly the stairs going to our room were very dirty.
The advert for our stay said that breakfast was included but it was not. Breakfast would have cost another £9. It also advertised parking although there were only 3 parking spaces. I had to park approx. 400m away from the hotel which was not ideal. The room is not worth £100 for the night.
6.0
Hotel not well lit up at night - difficult to find.
Room was very cold. Breakfast was supposed to be included but we were told there's no breakfast with our booking.

Warm clean room No:7 with sea view - white cotton bedding, soft towels, nice cosmetics, good tea tray, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and friendly service.
On site parking and hotel has some history!
5.0
The 1876 property was in wonderful shape, the room had lots of channels on TV, and the staff was friendly and informative. And it was only a short walk to the seaside. My stop in St'. Leonard's!

First impressions were great a big room with a sea view but it went downhill from there. The tatty bed base creeked on every move, the blinds were broke had to hang a towel on them, the tv remote was faulty, the shower head was floppy and wouldn't tighten, the water temperature fluctuated , there was no hand soap. Breakfast was nice though.
6.0
It was a convenient location. Lovely old building.
Bit tired but not bad decor.
Broken blind (three adjacent slays missing), tv didn't work.
Website stated breakfast included in the price, but nobody was there to provide breakfast. I called, was told breakfast wasn't booked. Nobody co firmed on check-in if breakfast was required. This was very disappointing.

This hotel has seen better days. Lovely old building but sadly neglected and poorly converted. Would make an excellent restoration project for someone with deep pockets. Inside is neglected and shabby. Room was OK but in need of maintenance and repair. Breakfast was OK. On the plus side, well it was cheap for the area.

We bought a one-day overnight stay with breakfast. When we arrive, it turns out we don't own breakfast. You will have to pay for them separately! Although it was clearly written that the bed is with breakfast. Therefore, I would advise you to check for breakfast before arriving, so that it does not happen to us. Room was clean, comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was surprisingly quiet because at first I thought there would be noise because they have a Pub downstairs but no, it was really quiet. The pub was not busy and it closes early. There was some exterior work being done right in front of our room but we didn’t mind and didn’t really cause inconvenience to us.
The Inn has a garden, which is a plus. Parking was not really a problem. The Inn is a few minutes walk from the seafront which we always visited. The kids loved it and where they had a swim as well. It’s also not very far from the pier and town center.
We enjoyed the breakfast as well. The male staff/chef was very nice and accommodating. We really appreciated his service. Sorry but I forgot to ask for his name. Dean who checked us in was also very nice.
I have noticed that all of the staff members were male. The Inn will benefit from the touch of a female staff 😊. The building itself has a good character, although the inside of it needs updating especially the common areas. It will also give good impression if staff would wear work uniform.
We also appreciated that our room was being tidied up each day of our stay.
We will recommend it to friends and family. We will stay again.
