I felt like the rooms could use a bit of a refresh, and the additional parking fee on top of the already pricey stay was disappointing. The hallways were a bit confusing, but we did have a room of good size despite the blocked view outside our window by a wall.

The location was decent, about a 20-minute walk from the city center and Palace Pier. It was convenient to have a car park beneath the hotel, but I must admit I'm not a big fan of the Holiday Inn brand. Still, the reception area was warm and inviting.

I stayed at this hotel during a very busy Marathon weekend. The room I got was very spacious and clean with a beautiful view over the seafront. However, the Executive suite felt a bit bare and sad. The service was friendly overall, though the restaurant staff seemed a bit off. The location is excellent, right on the seafront, and just a few minutes walk from Churchill square and the town center. The dining experience could use some improvement, especially on the first morning of my stay. The facilities were decent, and the hotel is very close to the train station.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfy, making for a nice atmosphere. However, there were some cleanliness issues like hairs and food bits on the carpet that could be improved.

I was pleased with the hotel's central location, making it convenient for exploring Brighton, although the upkeep could use some attention. The room was spacious with a nice flat-screen TV, but noise from outside was easily heard, affecting the overall relaxation. Despite the mixed bag of service experiences, there were some friendly faces. The dining options were varied, though not consistent. Overall, the hotel provides decent value for money for a stay in the area.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was comfortable with a lovely sea view, although it would have been better if the bed and desk were swapped around for better visibility. While the room wasn't completely soundproof, it was clean and had just enough space for my needs, including maneuvering my electric scooter.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. Although the rooms were clean, they could benefit from a refurbishment as the bedroom became hot and stuffy.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location was perfect, right across from the Brighton seafront and just a short walk to the town center. The service was friendly, and the staff made us feel welcome. On the other hand, the room was in need of a refurbishment, with no drawers and a cold atmosphere even with air conditioning. The dining options were hit or miss, and there were some issues with billing accuracy on checkout.
