Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated opposite the Common, a great spot for those cycling the South Downs Way. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with a good supply of coffee and tea. However, the decor was in poor condition, and some maintenance issues like doors not closing properly were noticeable. The location is convenient for outdoor activities but might not reflect the hotel's true appearance. It's close to an Indian restaurant, which is a plus for dining choices.
The hotel exceeded my expectations in some areas but fell short in others. The rooms were small but surprisingly clean and better than I anticipated. However, there was a strong smell of repair material due to ongoing maintenance work. The service was lacking, with unhelpful staff not addressing issues effectively. The location was convenient for my needs, although the surroundings were not ideal. The dining experience was underwhelming, with limited options and room for improvement. Overall, it was a mixed experience with both positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel's location is ideal for various activities, but the rooms were tired-looking and had a strong cigarette smell. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the dining options were limited. The aging facilities need some attention.
