Great little place

Used as a quick one night stay for going to a comedy gig in Brighton. Well worth the money. Staff lovely and room clean. Bathroom was not within our room but we had an assigned bathroom further round the corridor.

Window broken. Four corners needed to get to the bathroom. Tiny room. Church bells through the night. Stifling room.
