The Claremont Inn

It looked very grubby from the outside with a rusty iron staircase that led to the accommodation. The room was a complete opposite to the outside. It was newly decorated with an en-suite walk in shower and toilet, a comfortable bed, TV and the usual tea/coffee amenities. There was an annoying light that flashed on and off during the night, whether it was outside or from the smoke alarm I wasn't able to tell. It felt like a 'start up' enterprise for the owner, with a few bugbears to sort out. Although there were plenty of places nearby to have a meal I think it would benefit from some sort of catering facility.

OK apart from a leaking shower that was not fixed, we had a wet floor for days that was not mopped up

The walls between the rooms were too thin. Never had any sleep, the man next door was shouting all night till 3 in the morning, didn’t feel safe. Not sure how the keys worked, the front door was stiff to get in to. Was worried in case the same key opened every room. Won’t be staying there again The lights beside the bed didn’t work

Pub was shut so somebody waited for me to arrive. Felt uncomfortable entering on my own through the back of the premises and the fire exit. Everything was discussed by text. Would not stay again.

I stayed alone here for two nights and found this to be good budget accommodation. I received a warm welcome, got shown to my room. This contained a very comfortable double bed, a hanging rail, bedside cabinets, TV, tea, coffee, kettle and hairdryer. The bathroom had a walk in shower, loo, loo rolls, sink, towels, shampoo, conditioner and soap. Everything was well cleaned. The rooms are above a sports pub in a side road with cafes, the town centre and the beach all within 5 mins walk. The railway station is a good 10 minute walk away, longer with luggage. Lots of eating and drinking places, theatre, cinema, Morrisons supermarket, buses, all within walking distance. Its important that you notify the Claremont of your arrival time. This is to make sure someone is there to check you in. The rooms are above a pub, so there was some noise, noises of plumbing in the other rooms and some street noises. But nothing to spoil the stay and I felt safe. Rooms are accessed via a metal staircase outside the pub. And there were some steps to access rooms. So may not be ideal for people with mobility issues, although I managed. I came by train, which was easier than finding parking in the area. Overall I would recommend a stay here when visiting Bognor.

Nice room clean & modern remote control had no batteries,it’s a pub that closed at 8pm on Sunday had no idea who to contact if anything went wrong
