It's a reasonable Hotel is quite a nice location it's just looking fairly run down.
We had our Christmas Party here 6 years ago and it looks pretty much the same but just more tired and old.
Staff were generally friendly and service was ok. Cleanliness in the hotel was ok. Sleep quality was fairly good, the room was a bit cold.
Tap water came out nice and hot but the shower could only do freezing cold or cold (Room 201).

Could not fault it accept I could hear the man above me going to the toilet in the middle of the night and getting back in bed. The bed squeaking. Then getting woke up every morning at 6.15 when he got up could hear him using the toilet shower and opening and closing draws.
My bed was very squeaky also every time I moved

Room was nice staff were friendly , but there was a horriable smell that made you feel sick smelt like sewage or something in the lobby and corridors which was off putting . The breakfast was over priced and the bacon was rock hard and looked like it had been warmed up in the microwave and eggs were over cooked . So disappointing . Staff were lovely though and location was good

The hotel is clean but a little dated. Breakfast in the restaurant was nice but there were a couple of flies buzzing around which seemed odd for time of year.
All perfectly functionable and rooms quite spacious.
Handy location, situated off main road into Brighton and good parking.

Our room should have been cleaned on Saturday. We went out twice during the day and left the door hanger on the outside. There was cleaning stuff outside in the corridor but no one cleaned. Then knocked the door about 4.30pm to ask if we needed anything when were getting ready to go out.
The breakfast wasn't great. Cooked breakfast cold on the Saturday morning.

First room had an odd/old smell with a connecting door which was not soundproof and could clearly hear a man coughing and talking next door. Asked to be moved and were promptly, by the somewhat unwelcoming and sullen receptionist. Hotel is a tad 70s, no aircon and looking its age. TV system was limited and could do with updating to current smart tv levels. Oodles of parking. Was in a convenient location for the purpose of our weekend.

A tired hotel, in need of modernisation.
We had a very uncomfortable and squeaky bed. The bathroom!toilet door did not close, either.
The meal SERVICE was good, the young waitress was on her own, but she was very pleasant and extremely helpful. Due to delivery difficulties, no lager was available, either on draft or bottled. Napkins/serviettes were not provided and the meals, while pleasant, were child sized portions.

the beds were so hard and made both of our backs ache the next day. we were due to stay for 9 nights but only stayed for 2. i slept in the chair as the bed was that bad. bathroom had a cracked sink, the grouting on the tiles was brown. so out of date and the restaurant food i had to send back. would never stay there again and would not recommend it to anyone.

Nice size rooms and handy location.
Wifi was good so no real complaints although breakfast was poor. Eggs luke warm at best, no beans! Avoided the sausage as no guidance on whether it contained wheat or not (As coeliac I need to know) like most other hotels I stay in.
