Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Perfunctory. The bed was a flat thing to sleep on. The gap where the curtains didn't quite cover the windows didn't enhance the sleep experience.
The shower was an old affair with a mechanism that only held the head in place after much faffing about.
Overall an average stay in an average hotel.

Lovely staff on reception. Good location. Room a bit dated and could do with refurbishing, but a comfortable stay.
Staff were wonderful. Hotel very clean and comfortable. The building is a little bit tired and could probably do with an update soon. But I had a very happy stay. The surrounding area is rather dull with lots of big shop outlets if that’s your thing?
Location excellent. 5-10 minutes walk from the train station. About 15 minute walk into the town centre. We found it v walkable for sightseeing. However I didn't notice any buses.
Reception staff v pleasant.
Hotel does not supply hand towels - you get 1 bath towel each.
It's a good option.
We feel elderly people would have trouble getting in and out of the bath to shower. The sides are extremely high.
You have to be very mindful when doing so.
Reception staff and area, is excellent. Stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions as it is good value for money. The bedrooms haven’t changed in years, and are starting to look a little shabby.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
It was a night from hell. The fire alarm went off on three separate occasions in the middle of the night and meant that some people couldnt get back to their rooms because the lifts stopped working. We even debated leaving in the middle of the night and driving home.
Conveniently located at walking distance from the train station Southampton Central and just a few minutes away by cab from the Mayflower cruise terminal where I boarded QM2 the next day (7£ for the ride). The room was spacious enough, quiet. Checkin was quick, staff was friendly and efficient. Checkout was even quicker, just had to drop the room card in the checkout box
