My husband and I have stayed here four times in three years, all in the off-season. The staff is VERY friendly, and willing to help in any way. I am "electronically challenged" and couldn't make the DVD player in our room talk to the very nice flat screen TV, and a staff member offered to come up and showed us how to do it. It is very clean, and the bathrooms are newly re-done very tastefully. We are bicyclists, and this is a bike friendly hotel, with bike-racks, and a security system, and room in the rooms to bring your bicycle to the room. Bikes are easily maneuverable through the corridors, and in the elevator. The package we got included breakfast, at "Sammy's Kitchen" which has healthy, fresh fare, even in the off-season, which January is... We parked our car in the garage, and didn't move it once over the weekend, everything being walking distance from the hotel. We rode our bikes to O.C. and back without getting on any busy roads but Ocean Hwy, which has a great cyclist lane.

We stayed at this hotel over MLK weekend. We ordered the weekend getaway package that included a six-pack of beer from Dogfish head, breakfast at Sammy's kitchen, bicycle rentals, late checkout and free taffy. The rooms were large, the bathrooms have been updated but the rooms themselves had not. The hotel was noisy, which was a shame because we really wanted some r&r! We ate at Sammy's restaurant which is located right next to the hotel. I would say it was average. We thought breakfast was entirely free but really you get a voucher that takes $7.00 off your meal. The restaurant was busy and the food took a long time to come. We opted to not eat there the next day and we walked to DD the next block over. Location is great, in the heart of RB. If location is what you are seeking, then this hotel is for you. We didn't use our late check-out or bicycle rentals that came with the package. Unfortunately, the taffy they gave at check-out was rock hard!!!!

Brighton Suites is an older but adequate suites hotel with some added treats for a nice stay at the beach. We purchased the weekend package and received vouchers to the restaurant next door, which was nice. They also gave us two one-hour bicycle rentals and a choice of either sodas or beer in our room. The bathrooms were nicely updated, and the rooms were fine. This is not a Hilton but an older hotel, where the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were clean. While the hotel is older, how much time are you in your hotel room, especially if the weather is nice?! Perhaps in the summer, it is much noisier, but for a weekend fall retreat, it worked well for us. I would recommend it, as the location is great for walking into town and in two minutes, you're on the boardwalk.

This all-suites hotel was very clean and comfortable. Two rooms was tops! I went with a buddy and we watched different shows on the TV. There is a door to the bedroom which, I find that the new suite hotels to do not have. The beds are comfortable but the mattresses are encased in plastic like most hotels that I have stayed in over the past year. But the plastic is not noisy and crunchy. The room was stocked with towels, lotion, shampoos, toilet paper. I really appreciated the refrigerator and microwave. The narrow hallways were nicely decorated with Halloween gear. Great location near shops, beach, bars, etc. A shuttle is available to take take you to the outlet malls or other places that are not within walking distance. My experience was fantastic!
