“The appeal of this hotel lies in its established, family-run operation near Eastbourne's seafront and Congress Theatre. I noted rooms have been refreshed, offering a more contemporary feel than the exterior suggests, while its proximity to the beach, town center, and train station is a definite advantage. The hotel's dedication to accommodating various needs, including special diets and limited mobility, also stands out.”

a good stay!!!
renovated hotel charging ports tasty breakfast
the hotel was beautifully renovated. my room included plenty of sockets. charging ports were available everywhere, so that was useful. the breakfast was also tasty and good.
i noticed some wires were hanging from the ceiling in the bedroom. this looked unfinished and could be a potential hazard. i believe it should be addressed soon.
