  Disliked: Unfortunately, we feel the hotel was misrepresented when we booked. The images and description advertised an experience that simply was not available on arrival, and had we been given an accurate picture beforehand, we would have chosen alternative accommodation. We arrived to find the front of the hotel completely covered in scaffolding, with no prior notification. While we appreciate that maintenance work is sometimes unavoidable, guests should be informed in advance, particularly when it significantly impacts the appearance and atmosphere of a seafront hotel. More importantly, key facilities that influenced our decision to book were unavailable. One of the advertised bars was closed, and the seafront outdoor terrace shown in the hotel's promotional images no longer existed, instead consisting of a few chairs placed outside behind scaffolding. As we specifically chose a Brighton seafront hotel to enjoy its outdoor spaces, this was a major disappointment and not the experience we had paid for. The hotel also felt very dated, with several areas noticeably unclean, further adding to the sense that the property did not reflect how it had been marketed. We believe we were unable to make an informed booking because important information about the ongoing works and unavailable facilities was not disclosed. Charging full price while key aspects of the advertised experience are unavailable is not acceptable.
