We stayed for four nights as part of a Shearings Holidays package. On arrival, it was clear that parts of the hotel were being refurbished but this did not interfere with any facilities or their general use of the hotel; in fact, the decorators were only present at times when the areas were only lightly used.
Our bedroom appeared to have been recently redecorated with new bathroom furniture. All was clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable and there were two armchairs and a small table. As the weather was so poor, we stayed in the room more than we had planned but it was easy to watch TV and relax.
Various grades of room attract supplements and room 417 was a standard room with a sea view. On the 4th floor there were about 18 rooms at the front with rather more to the side and rear. As it was situated on the fourth floor, this was the cause of our only concern because there are two lifts but of limited size (one had comfortable room for 4, while the other could take 2) and we occasionally used the stairs - there were 81 - to get to and from the room to avoid waits.
Times for dining were limited but the service was excellent and the food more than acceptable. Dinner had three choices of starter, main course and dessert. Various types of breakfast were available, albeit with supplementary prices for some items.
A comfortable and spacious hotel which is located across the road from the pier, beach and gardens; while only 5 minutes walk from the main shopping centre. Local buses plus those to Brighton and Bexhill/Hastings stop close by.
We travelled by Shearings coach but there appeared to be a large private car park to the rear of the building.
We felt we had received good value for money and would certainly stay here again when the opportunity arose.

Stayed here 21st February-24th February 2014 as a party of five, we always have a good time when we go away together. I don't know how they do it for the money, paid £104 including a £15 single room supplement, pleasant staff, good food and accomodation. Ryan in the restaurant, was incredibly helpful, nothing too much trouble to get for you and we made requests for plain food with no sauces etc. This is my fourth visit to this hotel and we always look forward to Mark's bingo and entertainment, this year we had a singer called Billy Miller on Saturday evening who was excellent. If you want five star luxury, then this probably isn't for you, but if you want good value for money, plus an older age group of guests, go book.

Spent a Great weekend with Shearings,lovely Hotel on sea front opposite the pier, although the Hotel has has a few steps there is a entrance for disabled adjacent. The staff were friendly and helpful,room was clean and very comfy (lovely bed) good sized wardrobe, and tea making facilities replenished daily. Food was very tasty and hot ,varied menu, the waitress was more than helpful.Entertainment was first rate,we really loved Mark who called the Bingo very funny, had us all in tears.Sunday we got the bus from the pier to Brighton (with our bus pass) we always get value for money with Shearings.

Room was comfy, plenty of tea and coffee in the room, also nice and warm. Also very clean. Television a bit outdated. We were on the 3rd floor, hot water was not a problem, but the cold was a mere trickle. Food was pretty good, but the service in the dining room quite slow, and waitress not very friendly. From what we were told and saw Shearings Hols got better treatment, we were the poor relations being with National. The hotel is situated in a very convenient spot for shopping etc.

We stayed for four nights this week. The hotel was excellent,although we had paid for an upgraded room. Our only cause for complaint was the food quality, especially at dinner. The menu choices look good but the actuality is rather different. Own label ready meals come to mind. However overall the rooms were pleasant, the hotel is in a premier position and the staff were excellent. If you do stay here perhaps be prepared to eat out.

In April 2022, Steve-Marilyn said about Royal Hippodrome Theatre
Wife and I visited the theatre for the tour and it was worth double the cost charged! The tour was led by a volunteer who works in theatres and his knowledge and manner of addressing the group was first rate. We went as a couple but there was a group who had booked which totalled 23 in all but they managed it well. The tour included; sitting in every tier of the theatre seating, going onto and under the stage, the dressing room area and studio. We also saw the curtain rigging area. At each point the guide was able to tell us the history and other fascinating background stories. The tour saw a troupe rehearsing for the upcoming pantomime and some young children who were being taught dance and movement.
This was a really lovely experience and it was very interesting to hear so many stories related to theatre such as why break a leg, never to whistle and the ‘Scottish play’ which begins with M but can’t be said!

In April 2022, Richard M said about AP-it
I needed to find new IT support as my previous provider had ceased business.
I was very impressed by his professional manner and knowledge and the results of his work were to my complete satisfaction.
Being out of town with easy on-street parking is an added bonus when using AP-IT.

Not the best hotel we have stayed in, but for the money we paid it was ok. The position is fantastic, right on the sea front opposite the pier within easy walk of the town. The hotel itself is looking tired. The public areas look like they have been decorated but our room was badly in need of some tlc! The carpet was threadbare, wall paper peeling and paint work chipped, but it was clean. No little extras though with only a small bar of soap given. The food was fair and the service good but again basic, for instance no cream with cheesecake. The staff were excellent though. Always cheerful and willing to help. All in all we had a good time and if the price is right there is no reason not to stay here.

It is not exactly a 5 star hotel so dont expect a 5 star hotel. The staff were very good at all times and always supplied what we needed. The food was excellent, always served quick and was always hot. I can not see why people are complaining about this hotel.
Evening entertainment was varied and funny. Mark the entertainment manager was first class and made us laugh all week. Well done.
