Pros:

The bed was very comfortable, we just melted into sleep.

Cons:

When we arrived at reception, the receptionist was dealing with a customer, so we did self check in and not once did she acknowledge us. We found that unusual as we have stayed in other Village hotels and always found them exceptionally helpful at reception.
The other members of staff in the bar, at breakfast and on reception were all very pleasant.

Pros:

A staff member met me at reception and checked me in which I was grateful for I used the gym I'm a bit of a nervous customer and it was busy so only stayed for a while. Wouldn't stay again

Cons:

Sink in room blocked, even with bathroom door shut traffic noise was constant through the night, breakfast limited

Would only stay again if I was desperate
Pros:

It’s was in a close location from the port, it did have many facilities, bar, restaurant etc

Cons:

My room was on the second floor, after traveling I wanted to sleep on the afternoon however all I could here was the shouting and loud music from the gym below, the rooms where very compact, and the woman on reception just didn’t seem to care

Our stay was mediocre and made worse by the grumpy breakfast manager who couldn’t even say good morning to all our party
Pros:

It was a helpful location

Cons:

The automated check in and check out is too complicated and takes far too long
The pillows are hard and knobbly.
Our rooms weren’t serviced so we had a sopping wet bath mat for two days as the shower overflowed however carefully you were

Overpriced.
Pros:

Modern and clean.

Cons:

It’s no better than a Premier Inn but it has a big gym which is the main appeal. I will use a Premier Inn of The Marriott in future.

Good stopover with pool but dont expect to swing your cat!
Pros:

It was conveniently close to the port and a welcomed stay before our long journey . We also enjoyed the pool. Breakfast was not bad either. Bed was comfy and there is a definite feeling if energy and wellbeing. The staff were all very smiley and happy.

Cons:

Our room was stated as ‘not ready’ on the check yourself in machine. We had to use a person to find out why because we arrived at 10 pm! Apparently the TV was not working, which was disappointing. However, my husband wrangled a free nightcap at the bar in compensation, which they were very happy to accommodate. The room was so small there was nowhere to put our rucksacks! Good job we didn’t bring cases! Also they have glass screens to separate the bathroom from the room and there is a button to frost the glass for privacy. However you can still see into the room from the bathroom as the door doesn’t’frost’ Luckily we have been married for many years but It was a bit off-putting seeing your other half wandering around the room while you are concentrating on the throne! Maybe we would use The Village again if we wanted a pool but not because of the room.
