The room was ok but tired. The mattress was awful and not suitable for two people. The sofa mattress for my son was even worse! The carpets were stained and tired. There is no table to put things or work from. There are only USB ports by the bed, not actual plugs which is a nightmare if you have equipment that needs plugging in next to you. The pillows were also awful, very lumpy and uncomfortable. Shame as everything else was the usual Holiday Inn standard. Location is amazing for Gunwharf/Historic dockyard/Gosport/IoW ferries.
