    cleanliness issues
    maintenance problems

    Indoor pool and jacuzzi access, Free parking facilities, Unique quirks and history of the building

    Worn carpets, outdated furnishings!!! Confusing room allocations led to dissatisfaction with the accommodations. Maintenance issues and cleaning standards definitely need attention. I suggest investing in proper signage for room directions!!!

    comfy king room
    delicious cooked breakfast
    nice pool
    limited breakfast options

    Our family had a lovely stay here, especially enjoying the big comfy king room and the delicious cooked breakfast. The place also has a nice pool for some relaxation, and we appreciated the spa services available. The only thing I'd suggest is a more varied breakfast spread, as the options were a bit limited, but overall, we had a great time! 😊

    During my one-night stay, I truly appreciated the vibrant local scene just steps away, including an amazing breakfast spot right around the corner and stunning views at the Rye Art Gallery, which made my city strolls all the more enjoyable. as a single traveler, the hotel had all the comfy amenities I needed to feel at home. the access to the hotel could be improved.

    fantastic location
    cozy room
    cleanliness issues
    dusty corners

    The hotel boasts a fantastic location and a cozy room, yet cleanliness could be improved, as I found some dust and dirt in corners. While the staff were friendly and attentive, a more thorough room check before my arrival would have enhanced my experience substantially.

    comfy bed
    thoughtful amenities
    cozy dressing gowns
    tired atmosphere

    The Classic Double Room featured a comfy bed and thoughtful amenities like an ironing board, tea and coffee making facilities, and a flat screen TV. The bathroom offered luxury towels and cozy dressing gowns, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring.

    The overall condition of room number 17 could use some attention, with curtains hanging off their hooks and noticeable holes in the wall suggesting it's time for a refresh. the atmosphere felt somewhat tired, and the breakfast offered hard boiled eggs instead of the expected poached variety, which disappointed at such a cozy establishment.
