“The hotel's position overlooking the Leas provides a pleasant proximity to the seafront and parkrun, with many rooms benefiting from rewarding sea views. Staff are consistently noted for their helpfulness, and rooms are kept clean and comfortable, though some elements show signs of wear. While practical for ferry and Eurotunnel crossings, its commitment to sustainability with single-use toiletries could be revisited.”
