My boyfriend and I needed a room in Brighton for one night over the bank holiday weekend. The Jury's Inn was the only hotel I could find that would allow this (all the others had a 2 or 3 night minimum at bank holidays), so we had to book it.
It was quite expensive (£129 for one night), but as it was our only option we went for it.
The location is great - literally 3 or 4 mins alk from the train station and only 5-10mins to the North Laines.
Even though the check in area was really busy when we arrived, we only had to wait for half a minute or so, before another member of staff appeared to check us in. The reception manager checked us in and he was really friendly and very efficient.
The keycard that they gave us for our room also was needed to call the lifts - which I thought was quite funky, and also added an extra security feature I guess, as only guests would be able to access lifts.
I think that many of the guests were down in Brighton for a night out, including a few hen/stag parties. This said our room was quiet and we couldn't hear any noise from neighbouring rooms/corridors, except doors being opened/closed.
The room itself was very clean and quite large. The bed was nice and comfy and I was pleasantly surprised to see a big plasma tv, with Sky One on it!
The shower was nice and powerful and there were plenty of nice towels for us to use.
Check out was easy enough for us as we had decided to pay on arrival, but other people who still had to pay did seem to be waiting around for a while (I guess that's what happens if you leave check out to the very, verry last minute like we did!)
Overall, a really good hotel - very clean and modern, good staff that we saw, great location and would allow a one night stay at a weekend.
The only downside for me (aside from the price) was pretty much expected - a bit of a sterile feel that you often get from chain hotels like this. However, I know many people who like this, so it's not really a downside at all!
