Overnight after ferry crossing
Pros:

The staff were friendly and efficient throughout our stay. We had no problems in finding the accommodation although parking was a bit tight. The young kady that checked us in was pleasant, efficient and helpful. The overall impression of the property was that it was a bit tired. The room was a good size and the bed was large and comfortable. Everything in the room and en suite worked as it should. We requested a quiet room and this was accommodated and we had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was adequate with one person having a continental and the other a full English which was freshly cooked and tasty. Again the staff were friendly and efficient. Checkout was easy. Accommodation handy for M27 and Portsmouth ferry terminal and a late checkin time allowed plenty of time to get from the ferry terminal. We would use again.

Cons:

Nothing that detracted from our stay.

Grim!
Pros:

The staff were amenable.

Cons:

The room was dirty, run down, mouldy and dingy. The shower was filthy and mouldy. There was no plug in the sink. The bathroom door had holes in where apparently someone had punched their way out after getting locked in the bathroom. The shelves in the bedroom were dusty and sticky. The chair was unusable due to being broken and threadbare with bare metal sticking through. The bedhead was broken, so the pillows kept falling down the back. The mattress and pillows were paper thin. The carpet was grim. No opening windows and the grey paint made it feel like a cell. The photos on the website are nothing like the reality.

The room needs an upgrade but the staff are lovely..
Pros:

The staff were excellent, very helpful. They listened to our niggles about the room and said they would mention it to the maintenance team. The breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

The shower had no instructions and to turn it off you had to go through a period of very cold water, which after a nice warm shower was not good. The kettle can't be filled from any tap in the room without using a cup, and as the kettle lid was broken it was quite difficult,until my husband fixed it. Also the secondary glazing was missing so the room, which faced the roundabout, was quite noisy. Also it had no net curtain to protect privacy, the only way to do this was too shut the curtains.
