This week I found myself staying in the Beach Hotel in Worthing. My assistant always tries to put me i somewhere that I will like, I am not being fussy or nothing but I wouldn't stay just anywhere. I have a relatively high standard when it comes to accommodation.

On arrival at the hotel, it did look very big. I walked up the stairs to be greated by some rotating doors, that you had tp push to actually get in. Me being me and slightly blond sometimes pushed the wrong side and realised that I wasn't going to budge them if I did that. I always thought things like that go clockwise, however these went round anti-clockwise, and got me a little confused.

It was very quite when I arrived however it was pretty late, however this is a sea-side resort so probably only get passing trade like myself when it is out of season. The staff behind the reception were very pleasant and helpful. They went through where everything was, offered me a wake up call and newspaper in the morning and gave me my room key, which was an actual key and directed me to the lift.

Walking into the room, I turned the light on, the bathroom was directly in front of me with the door shut. First impressions I wasn't overly impressed, the carpet was brown and looked as though it was in desperate need for a good clean. The rooms itself was a double room but not very spacious if there were two people staying in there, It had a double bed, wardrobe to the direct left of it. A chair was right in front of the wardrobe so to get in there you would have had to battle with that. I was only staying for one night though so didn't bother. I was suprised to see a flat screen television on the dressing table. An old fashioned mirror was over top of the dressing table and I had tea and coffee making facilities. The room itself was very warm, a little too warm, but I guess they get better weather down there so I wasn't quite used to it. The decor definitely needed to have something done with it.

I ordered room service from reception, a large glass of vino and the Beach Burger and home made fries. It took 20 minutes to arrive which I was impressed with. The food itself was very nice. It was a homemade burger with a slice of emmental and a salsa dressing served on a panini with home made chips. It cost £7.95 and was very nice. My vino cost £5 a glass which I though was a rip off. Up here in the north, maximum you a going to pay is £3.60 and that is at a decent restaurant.

Breakfast is served in the restaurant, as you go down you have to wait to be seated. Once seated it is waite / ess service. They will ask you what beverage you would like and whether you would like brown or white toast. This is then bought to you very quickly and then they will ask what hot food you require. It would be rude not to have a full english to start the day so I did. It took just over 5 minutes to arrive, piping and cooked to perfection. Top score for the food that the hotel does.
