It was an adequate stay for the price. The car park was full but there was a car park nearby.
It is in dire need of a refurbishment.
The walls need re-painting.
New furniture is needed. I had a wardrobe where one of the doors was non existent because it was broken & a broken leg on a stool. The wind was very strong & blowing through the windows.
I wouldn’t recommend this property.

The general area around the hotel was old and a bit untidy. St Leonard's itself is not a great location for travellers.
Our room was large and OK but the hotel was a bit rundown. Breakfast was only available on the week-end.
The property was of a poor standard for the cost of the room. No washing products were in the bathroom. The toilet flush was broken. The window vibrated when you moved in the room.
Could really do with some repairs and more attention to detail on the cleanliness. Noisy bed frames, creaky floorboards, a horrible damp smell, broken shower door handle, really old and damaged shower head, cracks on walls and the bathroom floor was lifting up. Staff was attentive and the location was ok, but overall not a great stay.
Awful & outdated, terrible room, mould in bathroom, dirty windows, flooring unfinished, filthy carpets, dirty stale water left in kettle! Absolutely not worth £80 a night! DO NOT STAY HERE!

AVERAGE
PRETTY AVERAGE HOTEL UNDER REFURBISHMENT HAD ISSUES TRYING TO GET IN THE CARPARK DUE TO VAN BLOCKING PART OF THE DRIVE.
Gosh. Crumbling frontage held up with scaffolding. Breakfast only served at weekends but given the grubby state of the staff and the hotel, i wouldn't risk it. Shower and sink so full of black mould i left unwashed. Dreadful place.
If you are expecting the Ritz, well this isn't, however, at the prices it never could be. A very tired property. The shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed a wonderful night's sleep.
Very nice hotel and pub, but was let down by one female member of staff who was very rude and therefore let the establishment down somewhat. But overall a nice place to stay.
Excellent value for money
Homely atmosphere
Very Happy with my stay

The hotel looked shabby from the outside, though our room had been newly refurbished. The owners were very helpful and were obviously trying their best. The ho tel is not manned at all times.
The hotel is dated and in desperate need of decoration. The bedroom floor was wood flooring which looked dirty and created a cold room. The shower handles were coming away from the wall. I did sleep well and the service I did receive was good.
We stayed on a Sunday night in a HUGE family room. Beautiful high ceilings and a stunning stained glass window in an old building. The room was clean and had complimentary tea/coffee/milk etc and bottled water.
The small bathroom was functional and clean and met all of our needs. The beds were comfy and we all slept very well.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. No hot food was served but the staff had lovely recommendations for food nearby.
There was no breakfast but we found a nice cafe nearby.
The view over the painted front facades and roof tops of the Victorian houses further down in West Hill gave way to the sea and sky on the horizon. There was a gentle breeze coming in from the window cooling the high temperature of the day. The external lighting of the grounds was turned off around about the time I went to bed, so there was no light intrusion from outside - which was great. The clean, modern hard laminate style flooring in the room was clean and well maintained, with carpeted communal areas for sound proofing. Very nice welcome, comfortable double bed. Slept very well. The ensuite shower in my room was small, attractive and very clean. It looked recently updated with metro tiles and new flooring, the water pressure was excellent. Parking on the premises was easy.
