The hotel is located in an uninspiring industrial area, but offers clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. However, the dining options are limited, and some service issues were noted. The price is reasonable, but some facilities could be improved.
The hotel is situated in an industrial area, making it convenient for a quick stopover on the way to Brighton. The rooms have two single beds and a very comfy bed, offering a decent sleep quality. The service, except for one staff member, was lacking enthusiasm. The dining experience, inclusive for all nationalities, offers traditional dishes. The facilities are basic but acceptable. However, being located in an uninspiring industrial area is a downside to the overall experience.

The hotel is located in an uninspiring industrial area, making me feel uncomfortable walking outside at night. The staff was not very enthusiastic except for one particular member who was helpful. The hotel is close to some restaurants but they can get quite busy, and most of them offer expensive fast food options.
