If you like air conditioning, they leave you a very friendly note. Plug in the fan put a bucket of ice in front of it and open the window. That is what they call air conditioning. The building is old the rooms have a musty smell to them, the shower sucks. I will say the staff is very friendly and very helpful. Their food in the restaurant is wonderful no complaints. The time we’ve been there the elevator was broken and we had to carry our luggage up to the second floor. It was about 10 minutes from the cruise ship terminal, which was a good factor. There’s a very nice pub about a five minute walk away that serves fantastic food as well.

Arrived slightly earlier than check in and was told the room was not ready but to help ourselves to tea and coffee. Greeted by Mateus....very very very helpful and friendly, credit goes to Mateus. There is no air con at the hotel and the lift was broken at the time, we were lucky only staying on the first floor. That is the only negative to this review. Staff was all round amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Always working hard and it was busy! Credit to all your staff that was working during the weekend of the 21st-24th August. If I needed anything, all I had to do was ask the staff and they would try their utmost to help. I left my charger at home and the staff tried to help resolving the issue by finding me spare cables/plugs. To no avail, I ordered an charger to the hotel which they signed for and kept safe. The breakfast was good and very busy during the morning. You could see the staff working very hard from clearing the tables to taking the guest to the tables. Respect you all. I just wish I got all your names to thank and mention you personally. Props to the kitchen staff who was working tirelessly and it seemed relentless over the days during my stay. Perfect for Paultons park. That was the main reason for the stay. From Room 232 - Hope you enjoyed the pizza (kitchen staff) and Mateus you had a good break! Will stay here again just for the staff!

I’m not sure how I missed the property didn’t have AC. The rooms did have 2 fans, it was a 2 night stay, we survived. The elevators were not working and we had to lug 2-60pd pieces of luggage up 3 flights of stairs. The hotel provided a breakfast Buffett and it was good. The staff was excellent. The hotel is located in an industrial park and is 10-15 minutes from the cruise ports.

The night before Bank Holiday Weekend.

Check in staff very helpful. Lift was out of order, but they reassigned me a room on a lower floor and carried my bags for me. Breakfast staff were amazingly efficient, I have not been in a HIE that has been this busy, but nothing was too much trouble and the restaurant girls were very quick.

The Forgettable Hotel

This was not a great stay. 1/the lift was out of order and i was on the top floor ...not good. 2/ The evening meal was really bad, a £15.95 cheesburger turned up microwaved !!!! like leather. Fries stuck together in a seperate pot. Never experienced such awful food. 3/Breakfast was avearge undercooked and overcooked bacon and dried up sausages at 7.20am . 4/Orange juice was synthetic like the sort you used to get in the seventies i remember as a kid. 5/There was used tissue in the stairwell that was still there in the morning. 6/No one checked what room i was in at breakfast anyone could have entered and had a free breakfast.

The property was very clean as was the room. The staff was outstanding in every way. However the rooms have no air conditioning and no phone in the room. It was extremely hot in our room. We were provided with an electric fan. This is unacceptable for the 21 st century especially for a holiday inn IHG brand. There is no phone in the room if you need something front desh you have to go down stairs. Again unacceptable for as 21 century hotel and IHG brand. Mainly for these reasons only we will not stay at this hotel or maybe at an IHG hotel again while traveling especially out of Southampton
