Liked: Cleanliness
Staff were polite but not particularly welcoming. I asked for a cake or decor twice as we were celebratkng a birthday, they acknowledged that but did nothing - thusnisnpoor for the price point. Facilities are nice but rooms are small. Syjtes are very poorly designed, no privacy for shower or bath. We requested a twin room and were given a double so we needed s fold away bed which was delivered and set up promptly.

We had a very difficult start, to find (without any notification) that the pool was out of use for refurb. We were steered towards pool at neighbouring property, Portswood. After some strong representations from ourselves, the issue was picked up, with good grace, by Simon and Melissa who - for us - saved the reputation of the hotel. The pool reopened looking good on our last day.

When I was staying there the renovating the pool would be nice to know about that before I turned up. Yes there was another pool to use but it was a bit of a hike. The other thing is a little bit disgruntled about the flexibility. I had to change my plans and I gave him three days notice to shorten my trip by a day. They were capacity and probably rented out my room but they wouldn’t give me a credit for the last day.

The swimming pool was being rebuilt. No notification of this was given on booking with Hoteks.com. The noise was terrible with drilling throughout the day. Through breakfast to early evening. I videoed the carnage and will be uploading to social media.

The room itself was comfortable however, the AC did not work for the entire duration of our stay. In addition, there was a bad smell in the bathroom - I am certain this was from the drain.
