Review summary
Based on recent reviews

The Burlington Hotel is appreciated for its tastefully decorated rooms, with some offering impressive views of the promenade leading to the English Channel. Guests frequently mention the convenient location, just a short walk from both the promenade and The Leas, making it ideal for exploring the area, and its proximity to the Eurotunnel. The inclusive breakfast features many choices and fresh, local products, while the Baytree Restaurant is often praised; however, some have noted that the parking lot has limited spaces. The hotel is also dog-friendly, providing amenities such as dog beds and bowls.
