Good location
Visited Eastbourne for the tennis tournament and the hotel was nearby. The Towner gallery, good restaurants and the seafront were also round the corner.
The layout of the hotel was labyrinthine, but our room was comfortable, clean and quiet, and the staff were very helpful.

Where did they get 3 stars?
The bed was so uncomfortable we couldn’t sleep. It also had a musty moldy smell like it had been very wet. Because we were on the top floor it got to be unbearably hot, which definitely made the smell worse.

This has to be one of the worst places I have stayed in a long time.
The check in desk closes at 10pm, why did it not mention that when booking the hotel - I travelled 5 hours to get their and so had to reschedule meetings to get their in time.
The breakfast does not start till 9am on a WEEK DAY! My first meeting was at 9am, I paid for breakfast but could not have it.

Do not be fooled but the 7.8 rating
The curtains were too short for the window.
No coffee pods for the machine
Bathroom was dirty
Towels smelt like kitchen grease
