I had a fun staycation at St Leonards Hotel with my friends. The beautiful sea view from our rooms and live music made our evening special. However, I noticed some room features felt a bit outdated, and improvements could be made to enhance the overall experience.

I recently spent two nights at St Leonards Hotel with my friends, and it was a good stay. The rooms all had stunning sea views, and waking up to the sunrise was a treat. However, the menu offerings were a bit limited, and my choice from the specials board didn't quite hit the mark. Overall, it was a fun escape, especially with the live music in the outdoor area. 🌅🍻

I had a lovely time during my stay at St Leonards Hotel with my friends, especially enjoying the stunning sea views and great live music. However, I felt that the service could have been more welcoming, as my previous visits have shown a decline in the overall vibe of the place. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but the beautiful location makes it worth considering for a getaway.
