The worst room I’ve been in since traveling.
Pros:

Leaving!!!

Cons:

The room was disgusting, hasn’t been properly cleaned in months! Dead and alive flies / spiders and moths absolutely everywhere! The bathroom had a broken light shade, stains on the walls, no plugs by any bed to charge anything!£189! Absolutely no value for money and I can’t get hold of anyone to complain officially!

Good location, friendly staff . Room was clean-ish but strongly in need of updating.
Pros:

On the plus side the reception and cleaning staff were super friendly and helpful and the inn was located within a short distance distance from central Southampton and the New Forest.

Cons:

The room was spacious but dated and the bed and linen while clean, smelt dusty and slightly stale. The bathroom definitely looked like it was from the 90's and it was the 1st time in over a decade i saw an actual long fluorescent light fixture in use - I mean the kind that is about a meter long. It was the main source of light for the bathroom.

Nice staff and clean rooms but looking tired
Pros:

Friendly staff on check in, very accommodating proving fans for rooms in the hot weather

Cons:

Rooms are rather tired and fixtures in places require repair or have had bad repairs in the past. The room was as clean as could be given its condition.
Only stayed here as it was last minute and the only place available

Pros:

Location - access to motorway services and motorway

Cons:

Rooms can't be cooled - it was ok after I asked for a fan (you should be proactive about that!). The toggle to send the water to the shower instead of the bath was broken. Of course I only noticed when I went to shower in the morning. I reported it, but it should have been noticed when the room was serviced.
