Easy check in. We had a family room, which was very large and comfortable. We didn't have a mini fridge, which we'd hoped for, to store some food, but not the end of the world. Shower was great and we could just see the sea, out the corner of the window. We had some very noisy young women above us, that thought it was a good idea to jump around and scream at each other at 2am. A quick phone call to reception and they quietened down. The hotel is in a great location on the seafront, a couple of minutes walk to the pier and the lanes a couple of minutes walk behind the hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed Brighton, the Palace was stunning, the lanes are very pretty, with lots of restaurants and the town full of high street shops. The sun shone for us, although a little chilly.
