“St Leonards Hotel By Greene King Inns presents a perplexing contrast; while the staff and breakfast earn high praise, some rooms show their age. The outdoor spaces and convenient parking add appeal, though the interior might benefit from an update. In my opinion, this hotel is a solid choice for those who value location and friendly service, but should ensure to request a room that has been updated.”

the bed was comfortable enough, i guess.
the absence of ales on draught in a brewery-owned hotel was quite a letdown. i ended up with a zero-alcohol bottled ale, which wasn't exactly the experience i was hoping for.

The breakfast offered a very good choice of items. I found the bed in my Double Room to be very comfortable. The good quality linen was also a plus.
I noticed there was no phone in the room to contact reception. There also was no hand wash provided in the bathroom, which I found surprising and inconvenient. The bathroom towel rail was not heating and did not seem to function.
