Frommer's Review

First used as an inn in 1559, this sea-bordering hotel, a favorite among conference groups, is the largest and best of Brighton's middle-priced choices. The place is proud of its pedigree and was once the site of royal gatherings and society balls. Most of its structure dates from the 1880s; despite many subsequent modernizations, it retains a sense of its late Victorian origins. Nearly two-thirds of the rooms are nicely furnished, with modern bathrooms containing tub/shower combinations; the rest are still somewhat dowdy. The east wing has the most smartly furnished rooms. Brighton's oldest hotel, it has managed to stay abreast of the times in comfort. Prices drop if you stay for more than 1 night.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms
