Update: I found an unbelievable pre-paid rate of 113GBP per night for a Sea View King Deluxe at the Hilton. I bit the bullet and went for it. I'll post my experiences here after my one-night stay next month.
Thanks again for all the input...

After all, you will have a hotel room with a view of Brighton Beach.
Anyway, the rate I paid when I was there was Ł79, which was a great room rate — but I also had to pay Ł14 for parking because I had a rental car with me.

IMHO, this place isn't worth more than Ł59 a night, beyond that it is an utter rip off.
I've repeated this before, but all my stays at this property have had problems. The staff are either not interested or incompetent (or sometimes both). You're better to stay at LGW and take the train down to Brighton or stay at Arundel if you're flexible and after HH points/stays.

I normally avoid car parks and fees. I erroneously believed it was unavoidable at this property.
It is too late for me, but thank you for providing this valuable information to those who plan on staying at this property in the future who have a vehicle that needs to be parked overnight.

Expect the standard benefits, such as breakfast in the restaurant — my breakfast was the full breakfast buffet in the restaurant of as much as I wanted to eat, and the food for breakfast was excellent when I was there — as well as the bonus Hilton HHonors points for your stay, free butter cookies, and the additional service associated with your status.
