Really good Experience!

My room was spacious. It was very well appointed too. I appreciated all the facilities and space it provided. The bed was huge. It gave me a super night's rest. The view was lovely. The digital check-in went smoothly despite being unmanned. It made the process easy. Parking was also easy. I had good access to the coast and Arundle Castle.
The room was very dusty and the bathroom was dirty.

Wonderful Stay in Spacious Room

The executive double room provided a generous seating area with two sofas. Breakfast service included nice staff. I found convenient parking on the premises. The hotel provided a top up store for items used up in my room. This communal area was very useful.
The lack of a restaurant for evening meals was a surprise. It would have been beneficial to have dining options available on site.

Parking was plentiful and easy to access. I appreciated this very much. A top up store was available with items you may need, this was a particularly useful addition to the room, I thought. Breakfast was served daily.
