Pros:

Friendly staff, clean and tidy.
The receptionist explained that you'd be best to move our car from the other side of the carriageway
As you might get a parking ticket if you don't so that's what we did and still we got a parking ticket.
I feel this should be sorted out for your other prospective customers at your days inn hotel, as the
Parking was included within the our stay.

Cons:

Not enough clarity regarding location of hotel if you're on the east bound carriageway roundham services as there's no signage to say it's on the other side of the carriageway. ( we were given a parking penalty but appealed as we had booked in your Hotel and had experience as explained above ,
Even though we left the east bound side less than 2hrs, which we found very upsetting and un just).

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!
