Handy location and quieter than expected
Pros:

Room was nice and quiet, particularly surprising given the motorway location. We stayed as a stop-over to the Isle of Wight and the nearby services offered a wide range of food options.

We had a good nights stay, beds were comfy and room was clean and not cluttered.
Pros:

It was clean, big spacious room as kids beds were in a separate type room attached which was great. Had everything we needed.

Cons:

I used the name rather than postcode on the paperwork and it took me miles around Southampton to what I am guessing is the back of the services.

Fulfilled its purpose. The value was fair
Pros:

Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very basic and poorly furnished. The bed was uncomfortable especially the pillows that were flat and inadequate. No bedside table on one side of a double bed.

Cons:

Better pillows. Better furnished room.

Good but all that taken away because of that knock
Pros:

Convinient

Cons:

They came to knock on our door to complain about kids crying and banging and nothing of that sort happened. There was a baby crying opposite room and they didnt do anything about. Did they come to us because of who we are? They could think of our room not anyone else. There was no banging at all, tv volume was super low and non of my kids even cried . Kids cry and they should no that . Thats why we didnt mind the little baby cry on the opposite side. My baby is 11 months and can cry any time, but was not even crying when they came to knock on our door. They better put it clear on their website that no children allowed if that is the case.

REVOLTING- AVOID
Pros:

Nothing. Was horrendous

Cons:

If I could give the place a zero I would. The room was filthy, smelt of mould. Wee down the toilet seat, white marks all over the bed which were clearly bodily fluid, looked like blood on the mattress, lights didn’t work, ripped mattress protector, cigarette holes in the mattress, limescale and rust all over the shower. The bathroom filthy. For £90 I don’t expect five star but I expect basics cleanliness
Staff member said “looks like rust on the bath. I wouldn’t have looked at the mattress”
Just REVOLTING. We were told we can’t be forced to stay but what are you supposed to do at 21:45 at night with three young children?

Worst place I have ever stayed

Convenient for cruise terminal
Pros:

Location as close to Southampton for cruise terminal

Cons:

Only outlet food available in service area was McDonalds despite being told there was more . Expectations need to be managed.
Room was tired and needed a good clean. Even found a half used packet of Pringles under spare pillows. Insect in cobweb in corner of room
