I booked a double room with the hope of taking my other half but ended up travelling solo for a Conference. The on-line reservation made a month before was for £89 but as I double-checked it the night before, it was showing an extra £20 for an additional person. I queried this on check-in and the registration did show £109... More

Very tatty and grubby rooms (stained carpets and dirty bathrooms) noisy, antiquated lifts, the bar was like the moon.... cold with no atmosphere! Very expensive parking and where do they find televisions that old? It was like a science museum exhibit!

Never stayed here before but will do again. Excellent position right on the sea front close to the town. Staff very helpful. Rooms are ok. Car parking was good. Food was very nice. Reasonable prices. Worth giving it a try

Me and my husband stayed here for a nights break to see a show at the Brighton centre. Our room (139)stank of old cigarette smoke and seemed very dark and dingy.

We stayed here for a quick overnight getaway, and I couldn't be happier with the hotel or the level of service received. We were allocated a sea-front room, and the view was one of the best from any Holiday Inn I've stayed in. Overlooking the old pier, the room was light and spacious with it's own private balcony. Even though... More
