Nice hotel

The hotel is large and well presented. The rooms themselves were medium sized and had a shared balcony area above the first floor, and as I have been to Eastbourne countless times at many hotels I would put this definitely in the upper ranks compared to all others. The man on reception was very friendly and funny. The only downside was that due to being immediately on the seafront, you have no choice but to listen to whatever is playing on the bandstand, which wasn’t great for my mother who wanted an early night.

Like - cleanliness, location, very helpful maintenance man. Dislike - Boiling hot room, no fan, only 1 plug which didn't work, ceiling leaked when it rained, shower holder broken & not much of a flow. Reception not helpful & ignored when I asked for a fan. Looked at me as if it was my fault! Lovely maintenance man got us a fan & an extension lead as we had to unplug the tv which had no space to get another appliance in (kettle) & would have been on the floor!
