8/10 Good
"Clean modern hotel with some home comforts and up scale decor built in, excellent spa and pool on sight. Although reception was extreamly busy, plethora of Southampton cruise ship passengers checking in, a very warm welcome was extended, no rush or general hurry along attitude by the reception staff. Open bar and lounge area, with resturant on ground floor serving bar meals, similar dinner options and buffet styled breakfast. Large clean double bedded room with ensuite, adequate lighting and power points, usual tea and coffee making facilities. Will probably stay again when next in the area."
