Great stay- enjoyed visiting Portsmouth.

I enjoyed an early swim noting a reasonable sized pool and that the cleanliness was good. I was able to use the jacuzzi, steam and sauna room also available. All staff were friendly and helpful. The bedroom was good and bathroom although the temperature was quite warm. Tried to alter it but with no luck.

Reception and Restaurant are awful.

The hotel is in a good location and I found it to be spotless. The housekeeping staff were cheerful and friendly. Unfortunately I can't say the same for reception. They were so unwelcoming it made me feel really uncomfortable. They gave my daughter a key to someone else's room. The restaurant was chaotic. We ordered dinner one night. My husband's dinner was nice but my meal failed to arrive despite being asked a couple of times. They did refund the charge.

Nice dining options on site but hotel room was very dated with poor lighting. There wasn't any artwork in the room, only 4 screws where something used to hang. The phone has turned yellow with age, very limited lighting with 5watt bulbs and bathroom sink is the same size as on airplanes with absolutely NO room or counter space to put a toiletry bag down. Extremely overpriced hotel for how dated the rooms are. The woman at check-in wasn't very pleasant but the staff after check-in were much more pleasant and helpful.
