"We booked a sea view room and the view is nice, but there is an open balcony area accessible from all the sea view rooms on that level. This meant other guests were outside our room all night playing music and chatting loudly. We would come back to this hotel but would avoid the sea view rooms next time"

"I was very happy I paid extra for a Seaview room, the room was large and the view fantastic. Great location, right on the seafront, lovely and easy walk to either Brighton or Hove. My only concern was the bath/shower, it was an over the bath shower that was very narrow and slippery, I was very concerned about slipping."
