Un hôtel ultra vieillot au charme désuet. Très bien situé à 5 minutes de la rue principale de Fareham
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner copieux et varié. La gentillesse de la serveuse.
La grande salle de bain

Cons:

L’odeur d’humidité et le froid dans la chambre
Le lit trop mou
Le burger immangeable : viande ultra cuite et pain surgelés. Sauce bbq et aucune autre de proposer.
La porte de la chambre difficile à fermer à cause du verrou hors d’âge

Location good, comfortable room and well fed
Pros:

Room was comfortable and luckily not many stairs to climb. Breakfast was lovely and the lady waitress on my second day was excellent.

Cons:

Cups of coffee no pot, so having to ask for another coffee,when staff are busy was not easy.
