I chose the hotel for the parking. Unfortunately the lift from the basement car park is broken (and has been for some time) and you have to use a call bell for help with luggage; there is no way to know if they have heard you. I waited for 15 minutes, I also tried phoning reception but it rang out with no reply. By the time someone arrived I was very upset after a long drive and being left for so long. The basement car park is dark and unpleasant, I felt very vulnerable. She said she had to deal with the queue at reception first, shrugged and did not apologise. Neither was she strong enough to lift my case up the stairs, another hotel client had to kindly help. The lift issue is a big problem - only one lift is functioning for the whole hotel, used by clients and staff. It is slow and crowded, stopping at every floor. The hotel itself is jaded and tatty, with poor maintenance and bodged decor. It really isn’t in good condition at all. Room cleaning is hit and miss - great some days, a few new milk pots thrown at the tray with nothing else done another. However when I contacted the manager about my check in experience he made every effort to speak to me to discuss it and apologise. He was very helpful and has arranged some compensation for my distress which he was able to see when he played back the CCTV. Advice for clients - drop your bag at reception *before* parking your car, and expect a wait for the lift at busy times of day.

Rooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious and the staff helpful and friendly. Unfortunately our stay was marred by two issues. The first, a very loud and abusive argument at 0100 to 0230 between the occupants of a neighbouring room was not the hotels fault and the reception staff attempted to deal with it the best they could. The second issue was that only one lift was working during the period of our stay and we frequently had to use the rather smelly, damp and dingy stairs. The lift from the car park was also out of service requiring us to carry our luggage up a poorly signposted concrete stairway. Only after we had done this was any assistance offered by the staff.

The view was amazing. As a family of 6, sharing one room, we found it very spacious in a premiem room with a balcony. The hotel also provided complementary snacks in the room. In the main floor, the kid's enjoyed the play room around the Starbucks while the adults watched a game in the sports bar. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Holiday Inn Seafront to anyone heading to Brighton.

I was seeing a band in Brighton with my two teenagers and decided to try this hotel. We really liked it! It was very reasonably priced, extremely convenient location, and our Seaview balcony room was spotless and very spacious. I've only marked down one star for facilities as the trim on the shower screen didn't meet the bath and the floor got soaked when we showered, so we had to use all of the towels to mop it up. Other than that, fabulous, and we would definitely stay here again. We didn't eat in the hotel or use the bath facilities so cannot comment on that.
