The hotel suited our needs as an overnight stay to break the journey to Southampton. We arrived at 21.15 the reception was still open and manned and quick to serve us, the car parking register was at the counter. Room was fine and the hotel was still serving bar food up to 21.45 which was useful. We did not have breakfast so no comment on that.

Excellent breakfast. Property a bit tired, but with a renovated bathroom. No fridge (I was surprised), but with a kettle. Arrived to find a connecting door which worried me, but while then hotel was full of families, I did not hear noise from nearby rooms, just the outside corridor. Worked OK.

Very convenient as a stopover near the motorway, comfortable bed, hot shower. Advertised’Chinese all you can eat buffet’ was overpriced and very underwhelming. Lift was out of order (advised by staff). Plenty of parking. Good EV charging facilities nearby, though not on site. I did sleep well
