Good size room with 2 king size beds. Bathroom slightly on the small size for a family room but workable. Parking isn’t the best and the charge is a little too high I think. Staff were lovely and friendly. Very helpful always. Location is perfect. We will definitely be making this our go to hotel when coming to Brighton.
