Laguna Hotel

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good
"The Laguna is a bit of a Marmite Hotel - some love it, others hate it. Yes, it's a bit ramshackle and not always as well maintained as you would like, parking can be difficult, and the beds are a bit hit or miss as to comfort. But the bedding is clean, the price is often quite low, it's a short walk to the town centre through the upper pleasure gardens and the pool is lovely. Yes, that's the best reason for selecting it - the pool is not huge (I estimate 12m long) but swimmable. Sometimes it gets a bit busy, but as often as not I have been there on my own. Check the pool opening hours - sometimes they extend them slightly, so last Friday it was kept open to 8pm - useful for someone like me arriving a bit later. Be prepared to have to practice your parking skills, as much of the space is often taken by their own coach fleet. And once you have a space, walk! Westbourne with its independent shops and bars is just over 10 minutes, and the town centre a little more, with the pier and beach easily reached through the gardens."
