Cons:

Too hot (I know they can't control the weather) but there was no attempt to cool the bar area amd the rooms were given 1 small fan that did nothing. The staff in the restaurant were inattentive completely forgetting some of our drinks had to go and ask for them. And the food looked impressive but the sausages for example were tasteless and chewy as if they had been cooked a few days earlier. I booked a room for 1 adult and 2 children and got a double bed and 1 single!

Cons:

The room smelt like someone had shat on the carpet and there were bed bugs. Damp on the walls. The bathroom was so unhygienic- toothpaste from the last guest spat all over the tap and sink. The surfaces hadn't been cleaned

Pros:

A comfortable hotel close to the port for Southampton.
We had a neal in the pub and it was very nice & reasonably priced.
Rooms are quite basic but clean.

Cons:

We had a room at the front if the hotel and the road can be a bit noisy as we had the windows open as the weather was very warm.

Was lovely. Friendly helpful staff. Lovely pub on the whole, good position.
Pros:

Staff, especially one lady at breakfast, were all lovely. Ease of all the facilities fine. The decor in our room, 11, was not good to appalling. Bath panel falling off etc. Was lovely having a giant bed though, and space for luggage etc. Was happy enough our room wasn’t serviced everyday, that’s fine.

Cons:

Better decor in the room. Slightly. More varied evening menu would have been better.
