The first thing to note about this hotel is that it is in St Leonards on Sea, not in Hastings. Granted, it is very close to Hastings, but it is NOT Hastings. The second thing to note is that the main hotel car park here is absolutely hopeless. Littered with pillars and spaces barely big enough for mopeds, parking here is a nightmare. The layout of the car park is also bizarre. There are spaces all over the place, but seemingly drawn on the ground at random. It's a mess. A miserable mess. The good news is that it does have an overflow car park, one that is just a logically marked out square of land. Its not massive, but it is a real boon when faced with the dreadful car park nearer to the hotel. The overflow is pretty close to the hotel as well to be fair. The staff here all seemed lovely. No complaints there whatsoever. Decent, helpful people. The room felt somewhat dated. Not massively so, and not to a degree that would cause me to look to leave or move room. It just felt a bit worn around the edges. One of the principle issues was the bathroom. It was a bit poky and the floorboards leading into the bathroom and immediately inside the bathroom creaked so loud that you felt like you were in a Hammer Horror film. You basically couldn't go to the bathroom in the night without waking up half of the hotel. In addition, with regards noise, it seems as though the ceiling was made out of a thin sheet of MDF - either that or the person in the room above us was the world's heaviest man. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were comfortable - the principle ingredients for good sleep, so no complaints there. The very nature of budget hotels means that they are frequented by the sort of people that have no volume control, and perhaps that was the issue at play here. Maybe the walls/ceiling/doors are all regulation thickness and I'm being unreasonable. Likewise, it might be that my first impression of the hotel (the truly dreadful car park) coloured my view on the place and it was always going to be uphill from that point on. Ultimately it is very close to amenities and to Hastings proper, the room was adequate and the staff were very nice and professional, so I think for that reason it merits a 3/5.
