Hove West Blatchington Windmill Hotels

"The lift was out of order on my second morning when I was leaving. I had four bags with me which in total were too heavy to take down four flights of stairs in one trip. (I'm 76 and was on my own). Surely, lift maintenance should take place after all guests leaving that day had left. Fortunately, after a short wait, a member of staff helped me with my luggage to the car park. Room 407. The en suite bathroom was up four steep steps from the bedroom. The bathroom door had a self-closing device so in the wee small hours I had to fight with the door as I stumbled into the bathroom. Fortunately, I am not incontinent but I can visualise that "accidents" could happen when a guest is caught short. The disabled person's handle on the side of the stairs which should have helped was too short. Not sure if the steepness of the steps leading up to the bathroom is legal. I parked my car in the hotel garage. I do not remember seeing a tariff for the car park on the hotel's website. It may have been there but it was definitely not obvious. The cost for two days' stay was unexpected. Because of the extra cost, I did not take meals in the hotel. Their loss. On the good side, a pleasant maintenance employee helped to direct my car to the hotel garage. The young lady manager who helped me to get my luggage to the garage was also very nice. The temperature of the room was perfect and the bed was comfortable."

"Lighting in bar needs dimming, bright lights lack atmosphere"

"Staff was great room was average good for the money happy time "

"Got in our room early which was very nice staff were very helpful and the room was small but comfortable"

"Great location"

"For the price you pay it’s not up to standard. You are better off going to the travel lodge over the road. Only good thing about the stay was breakfast and where the hotel is. Other than that, I wouldn’t stay here again. Had to be moved rooms due to the filth that was in the room. If you’re staying on the first floor all you can hear is people above. Cleaners and manager need a talking too. The head board was thick with dust and there’s only one thing splattered on that head board, it’s disgusting. I’ll be contacting head office. Not acceptable."

"Super helpful staff. Our room wasn’t ready so we were given a different better room at no extra cost"

"Just had five nights at Best Western Princes Marine. There is limited free parking so it's a first come basis. Reception was friendly, warm and welcoming. There's a large lift to all floors. My room was a good size with a king sized bed, the room was comfortable and well appointed, as was the bathroom. Breakfast has a great selection to choose from. It's the kind of place I like as staff hover in the background rather than being overly present. This is the sort of hotel that would suit singles, couples, family's. There is disabled access in and around the hotel. I highly recommend their restaurant Chilli & Mango which is also open to non-patrons. I wouldn't hesitate to come back on my next visit."

"Early check-in charges were a little higher than expected. Everything else was good."
