Breakfast, no marmalade, salted butter, fried bread, hash browns. Room decoration very tired, paper coming away from wall. Dent in wall like a fist/head. Door to room had been jemmied at some point, and the bed settee tired and uncomfortable. Large cobweb by the window overlooking the sea from the lounge even after telling reception staff it was still there when we checked out. 12.5% service charge not obvious on menu or the bill. Was this obligatory or discretionary. Staff though were charming. Bed was comfortable.

This time around Front desk staff were so amazing, each and every representative showed care and acted promptly I felt seen. The Restaurant staff, now that’s another story! Would I stay again? Maybe! I Would like to check out Brighton in the summer it does look fun.
