Each room has a plasma TV with Freeview channels and tea and coffee making facilities. Some superior double or twin rooms include a balcony overlooking the lagoon and the sea.

Dining & Bar

The Seaview bar serves locally sourced, homemade food with options such as Sunday roasts, Caribbean-style chicken burgers, and prawn fish cakes. Guests receive a 10% reduction on menu prices and benefit from happy hour deals on select drinks all day. Breakfast is not available on-site, but two cafes directly across the road offer full breakfast menus until late afternoon.

Entertainment & Activities

The bar features a pool table, plasma TVs, and a range of board games for guest use. Nearby outdoor activities include canoeing, windsurfing, cycling, fishing, mini golf, and tennis at Hove Beach and the lagoon. The hotel also hosts regular pub crawls and karaoke nights.

Family & Pet-Friendly Policies

The hotel offers flexible room configurations for group bookings, including family rooms and quintuple rooms with en-suite bathrooms.
