Prime Location
The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from Eastbourne Station through the town and left at the end onto Grand Parade. As such it has a prime location near the beach and pier plus it is close to the shops. Externally the hotel is a little disappointing and like other hotels in Eastbourne it has obviously seen better days. The two lifts are quite small for such a large hotel. I had asked for a room away from lifts/stairs and found my room right at the end of the corridor overlooking Terminus Road where roadworks are ongoing. These started before 0730 and it would have been annoying if my stay had been longer. Clearly this is not the fault of the hotel and few people want to visit Eastbourne and stay in their room. The room itself had functional furniture and fittings but no USB port. The en suite had a good shower fitted over the bath. The windows were old style sash type and needed a clean. There is a large dining room for breakfast which overlooks the pier. Various hot and cold items were available but no poached eggs cooked to order - only scrambled eggs. There is a bar at the hotel and entertainment some evenings. The staff I met were pleasant and tried to be helpful.
