"This hotel was chosen for its location and car park. This enabled us to comfortably walk to the promenade at St Leonards and along to Hastings without worrying about parking restrictions or public transport amendments linked to the annual bonfire celebrations. The hotel building is one of the many Victorian buildings in the area and they prove particularly challenging to maintain so expectation wasn't high. Our allocated room was a fine size and absolutely fine for our requirements."
