Great staff - hotel room dated

Staff were very good downstairs on the front desk and the two bars very good. The hotel is old and shows there was only one lift working when we arrived and it sounded dangerous . Second lift was then back on line which was better . Air con in the hotel could not keep up with the hit weather and demand. Carpets in room were stained and the window handles falling off, the hotel needs updating to still deserve the 4 star rating . Staff were very good though had were taking the brunt of the hotel needing a facelift / makeover.

The hotel is going through a refurb on the lifts. The working lift very noisy and unsafe sounding and the works being done look awful in the lobby area. Lady at reception very vacant. No apology for no one manning the desk for a good 5 minutes. Room very average. Had a portable fan as no air conditioning. The stay done the job, nice shower in the morning and left, just needed a bed. Wanted cider but one bar had run out so had to go to the other bar, inconvenient to the customer. Not much else to say.

A pleasant few days away, staff helpful. Breakfast was really good. Standard twin room was adequate, it was clean but needs some attention to detail (light bulbs out and not enough light in the room). Beds were not the most comfortable and the pillows were terrible. For the price we paid I would say it wasn’t great value for money, very expensive.

Liked: Cleanliness
The location was great at the seafront, close to Brighton Railway Station and Highways. Although my room was fully paid in advance and I submitted the receipt, the Receptionist asked to pay for the room. I asked her to double check and by the help of another Receptionist things became okay. Probably she was not trained properly. Another incident happened on the second day - the ceiling at the entrance of the room leaked heavily. I informed, but was not given another room or any refund. Breakfast was basic, just typical English Breakfast. I also tried other restaurants of the hotel and I wished there were more food choices. The Lift was rattling.There was no Concierge service or help with Taxi, booking tours, etc. I stayed in other Holiday Inn hotels with great services. I hope some renovations will be done including better guest services in future.
