Just returned from a weekend at the Seattle hotel in Brighton and feel Ishould share my views thoughts and comments on my stay there.
Not only have I been I guest there but also attended a function in their function suite, performed there as an artist (at the function) and partaken in a few drinks in their residents bar, called the Black and White Bar.

Location.
Wonderful marina side location with terrific views of the boats in the harbour. It is easily accessible by car and has an adjacent car park where you can park for free if a resident (use level 6 if a hotel resident).
Surrounded by a variety of nightlife and restaurants, it is a great place to be in the evening. However it is about 2 miles from the town of Brighton itself.

Environment.
Fantastic. Very modern while having an ocean-liner themed look. Very 20s/30s looking decoration with much grandure and extremely elegant. It is very clean everywhere as well. There is a wonderful function room with a veranda overlooking the harbour.

Rooms.
Thanks to our function, I was able to look in several of the rooms as we had booked out nearly the entire hotel. Our room was the "budget room" which was £75! that is not what I call budget! However it was indeed very nice. The decor again is ultra modern and very clean. All white paintwork in the rooms did show up some scuffs and marks on the walls which i did think looked a bit naff. The bathrooms had very cool taps and a wonderfully huge shower head! There is also a bath in all rooms. 25 of the rooms face the marina and have small balconies. The other 25 rooms overlook the marina shops and nightlife. We had a sea view and it was great! My sister and brother in law had a much bigger room that really had very little extra to us and their room and their room cost £165 a night! Very expensive.
One critisism I did have. The rooms were very luxorious and well equipped and all had TV/DVD player, a Radio, telephone and the usual shower gel/shampoo are organic substitutes (which you would expect for Brighton!) but the toilet paper was like Budget public toilet paper! That really let it down.

Function Room.
This is great for weddings. The staff are very helpful and the wedding coordinator is fabulous. Very attentive and helpful. The room itself is very large and overlooks the marina. The changes between wedding to dining room to evening room were very well organised and streamlined. I observed this first hand as I was setting up audio equipment alongside them while also being a guest. I was very impressed with there coordination and arrangement.
