“In Kemp Town, this small hotel sits barely a stone's throw from Brighton's seafront. I noted its proximity to vibrant spots along St. James Street and St. George Street, as well as acceptance of small dogs. I suspect it's a convenient base for exploring local pubs and cafes, if the location is the priority.”
