“This historical hotel places you conveniently near Chichester Cathedral and the Festival Theatre. I noted the lively bar scene with late hours and themed nights, which might be a draw-or a drawback, given noise levels. The cocktail room's promotions could be tempting, though some may find the room decor needs refreshing.”
