Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Grove Hotel is appreciated for its convenient location, a short walk from both the town and the beaches, with easy access to the East Cliff. Guests often mention the clean and spacious rooms, some overlooking a nice garden. The breakfast is generally well-received, and the hotel boasts a pleasant conservatory; however, a few guests have noted that rooms facing the road lack privacy due to direct visibility from the street.

adequate but unremarkable stay

satisfactory breakfastold bathroom fixturesunhygienic feel
the breakfast included in my stay was quite satisfactory.
the bathroom was particularly disappointing , with very old fixtures and sealant around the bath that looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. this gave the otherwise decent room an unhygienic feel.
