I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, overlooking the sea and within walking distance of Brighton's highlights. The rooms were cozy and had a mesmerizing view, plus the king size bed was a dream. The service was top-notch, with everyone being friendly and accommodating. The dining experience with generous portions was a true delight. The facilities were just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. The only downside was the slightly steep pricing, but the overall value was still worth it.
