Pros:

The girl at the reception Kamili was very friendly and helpful, ensuring my check in was smooth and worry free.

Cons:

The rooms are not sound proof and I could hear the people on the corridor walking past while shouting and laughing in the middle of the night.

Very comfortable stay, ideal for 1 to 2 nights.
Pros:

Room was a reasonable size, good sized TV. Powerful shower, beds very comfortable - ideal for a short stay. Spacious bar with a good selection of drinks. Although didn't book or want breakfast, was offered a complementary coffee from breakfast area which was nice.

Cons:

Very busy check-in area when we arrived - a coach had just arrived. Extra bed was not setup on arrival but was promptly resolved. Long walk to the room, some public areas a little tatty.

"You're not allowed in"
Pros:

Very large comfy bed. Apart from a very small bathroom accommodation was spacious and comfortable with an excellent tv.

Cons:

When we got there in our small motorhome, having already made a reservation, we couldn't enter the car park as we couldn't fit under the height barrier. Eventually a staff member turned up but insisted we weren't allowed in because the policy was to disallow caravans. More delay ensued as they established we had a booking and grudgingly lifted the barrier. After a long journey back from Spain via Portsmouth this was infuriating and most unwelcoming. Fortunately they decided not to charge the £7.50 parking fee which we appreciated but the episode was very upsetting.
