Pros:

The accommodation was faultless, plenty of room. Large car park which was great. 20 mins run into Southampton cruise terminal. Staff very helpful.

Cons:

Knowing the hotel was full that night the hotel didn't organise enough food, everything on the menu had run out which was so disappointing, this let the whole stay down. Surely they can keep frozen food in the freezer, such as scampi, fish, chicken Kiev, quite a let down for us.

Pros:

Excellent service,clean room,brilliant food especially full english breakfast.Only stayed 2 nights wished we had stayed longer.Will definately stay there again.

Cons:

We had twin beds which we booked but both had heavy double duvets .It was a warm spell and this made sleeping difficult,so much so that we both slept on top of the duvets.There was no alternative bedcovers in the room.A couple of single spare sheets would have been great.Other than that an excellent stay.

Nice place to stay but not as good as our previous visit.
Pros:

The breakfast was disappointing as they had run out of a few things.

Cons:

Asked for an upstairs room but which was accepted when booking but got a ground floor room. The food wasn't as good as the last time we stayed.
