Stayed at the silent the week before and I’d rather pay a little extra to stay there again in future. The lodge was basic and a little tired and did not feel the cleanliness was a great standard. Staff member who checked me in was also a bit grumpy and not very welcoming….. maybe he was just having a bad day.

Stayed at Lodge at Solent for a family wedding. The room we had was very pleasant but spoilt by the bleach stains & marks on the carpet. The room was very clean & there was a good shower. The bed was ok but bit harder than I would have liked We didn't have the continental breakfast but did have a meal in the bar on one of the evenings we stayed, I had the Hunters chicken. It was very average & not a large portion for the price. We found the staff very friendly & helpful.

Just not the best and overpriced for the quality. Check in was efficient and the staff friendly but the room was tired and the carpet was badly stained. From the stained carpet to the unlabelled bottle, of what we assume was shower gel in the bathroom - through to the empty monster can left in the sink - the experience at Lodge was a let down. The skirting boards are damaged and the whole room just felt like it had been abused. For the price we paid the room was a huge disappointment. The bed was comfy

Property is lovely to stay in with really lovely rooms. the only downside for us was the size of the bed. The lodge would be exceptional if it is was king size beds instead of doubles.

Shocked at how basic and worn and stained everything was. The bathroom had no toiletries, no hangers in the room, barely any tea and coffee sachets. Room service room trays were left outside room for the two nights we stayed there. The check in staff were helpful , however. Had to write this review because I was so shocked , it’s not worth what we payed.

Great comfortable room

A spacious, very clean and comfortable room. At the budget end of the hotel, but no less comfortable. It had everything you needed, in a lovely location Minor points....none of the pump bottles of soap in the bathroom worked, so required the pumps to be removed and manually poured. Also in room 44 there was a constant low rumbling/humming noise, aircon/heating/ventilation Im not sure but did become more pronounced/audible at night, slightly distubing.
