Nice location for our day trip to Portsmouth

We arrived quite late and due to being a bank holiday weekend the restaurant had sold out of many items on menu so had to find alternative restaurants but as for everything else we had an enjoyable stay.

Conveniently situated

This Hotel was ideally located for us to use the park-and-ride into Portsmouth which was a 5 min drive away. There is also a Sainsbury's just 2 mins drive up the road. Apart from that there is nothing else around this Hotel. The room was large but the air-conditioning didn't work. The meals options gave a lot of choice i.e. burgers, pizza and pub grub. We ate there twice in the evenings and it was OK. Breakfast choice was good however the Hotel lets itself down with insufficient staffing. Therefore tables were left uncleared, things ran out like coffee, bacon etc. So, the few staff there seemed continually stressed. Make sure you register your vehicle when you get there. The car park is run by a separate company so use the machine in Reception to enter your vehicle and duration details.

The mattress was awful. We need one more blanket but the reception didn’t give us. The sofa bed was too small for 2 people. In the morning the breakfast almost finished all the time. The coffee machine not working in the morning!!!! The dining area is too small for too many people.
