Lovely place for a visit to harbour as it's within walking distance. Staff were immensely helpful and friendly especially upon checking in (I struggled to understand where to park) and for advice during my stay. Room and bathroom were a little dated but comfy enough for a couple of nights. Breakfast food was good it's a shame about the hot drinks. Tea and coffee were quite literally in hot canisters and tasted absolutely awful. Maybe the machine had broken and that's why they were being used? Either way, they need to offer better coffee facilities! Had a lovely weekday visit here and if ever I was to visit Portsmouth again I would happily stay here again.

I made the mistake of booking a budget room. The room decor was tatty and dilapidated. I won’t do that again if I do decide to stay in the future.
