    Our room was okay but being Saturday a little noise was not appreciated from the people leaving the theater complex and nearby Bohemia pub ,would have preferred a quieter location especially as there were few people staying with us at the hotel

    Breakfast was okay with pleasant service,but not really award winning as fruit and pastries were not fresh.

    We liked everything about the Mowbray.

    We really enjoyed our stay in The Mowbray. We had two rooms, both very clean with very comfortable beds. Lovely comfy lounge too! Staff were friendly and helpful, serving a lovely cooked breakfast each morning.

    Nothing.

    The location was excellent, just across the road from Devonshire Park theatre and very close to the seafront. I had a single room which was very comfortable and had everything I needed. There were clear instructions on how to achieve an early arrival which was ideal for me to go to a matinee at the theatre.

    Steps to front door AND three steps from lift to room,NOT warned! Tiny washbasin,very hard to fill kettle without wetting floor! One of three overhead lights not working. Only one keycard so I had to phone friend to let me in on returning twice on Saturday. The info in the room said"Coffe,tea and soft drinks in sitting room"BUT NO kettle. When I asked waitress,she said bring down from your room BUT disabled friend could NOT have carried hot cup down three stairs,into lift then along corridor to sitting room. We feel there was not enough information provided AND some was incorrect. We cannot understand how hotel got 4 stars from AA,as there were not the facilities we expect in a 4 star,e.g.pool,bar,etc!

    Breakfast was excellent an served in the sitting room as my disabled friend could not manage stairs to lower ground floor and lift never went there

    Although the room was large there was a smell of damp when you entered. The bed had draws underneath and the front kept falling off. The bed was a king but the quilt only a double. A plug socket was broken. Some sweets were left in a tray but some had been there a loooong time. The bathroom was cramped as they had used part of the bathroom to make a guest toilet on the hallway. The shelf was on the side as you couldn't use the sink when fixed. The shower was in need of a good clean there was mould and scale build up as it was a walk-in shower but wasn't inviting. As the shower was near the door going into the bedroom the water would wet the carpet and I think this is were the damp smell comes from. We paid for breakfast on the last day which was awful. My husband had kippers which were cooked to a inch of their life. The cups and teapots were stained brown and the chrome table legs were covered in remains of dryed food. There was also slug trails under some of the tables, I couldn't wait to get out. The access for disabled wasn't clear if they did have. The steps at the front are very step and not suitable for people who have trouble. Door handles were off, lots of little DIY issues. The owners post left on the mat for days.

    Location.
