Quiet, comfortable, tatty, friendly, functional

Liked: The room was amazingly quiet. Despite the proximity of the southbound M3 carriageway, an earth bund and trees shield 98% of the noise. By 8am the next day, you can hear a SLIGHT roar of traffic in the distance. Just thirty yards to the main services building with Costa, M&S, Burger King, WHsmith etc.Parking spaces within 50yards, electric charging and disabled (two spaces) right next door.Everything essential worked. Fixed showerhead in the bathroom is mo use to help a lady wash her body.There is no lift to the upper floor, butvthe outer door is powered for wheelchair users (then you are on your own).
Disliked: The building and decor is tired, if functional, despite the best efforts of the cheerful staff. Roughly half the TV channels had gone AWoL.Arriving from the southbound M3: The entire M3 southbound services site is overgrown. It would make a great setting for a postapocalyptic zombie movie. The carpark whitelining was being refreshed on 07MAY2025.Although the lighting in the car park works, much is blocked by the undergrowth/overgrowth.The motel is buried at the far end of the services site and the signposting is patchy. At half of the turns, there was NO direction as to which way to turn. Look the site up on Streetview or Google maps befire you start your journey.

Exceptional

Whilst a little outdated in...

Liked: The receptionist was friendly and helpful, you could get extra coffee etc and use the microwave.
Disliked: The bathroom was very dated, there seemed to be white hairs on the carpet and hallway could have been hoovered better but generally the room was clean and bed comfortable , plenty of space .

Superb

Liked: Clean big room and comfy big bed

In need of refurbishment.

Liked: Bed was clean and comfortable and so were the pillows.
Disliked: Stinky bathroom, the shower tray looked awful. it looked like the none slip coating had peeled off, and every thing had stuck to it. The toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall, and the walls were well marked. And it smelled of sewage. We kept the extraction fan on all night this helped a bit. The carpet and skirting board had seen a lot better days.

Not again

Liked: Standard
Disliked: Alarm went off by mistake so had to evacuate into the night

Bad

Pleasant

Done it’s job for one...

Liked: The family room was big and the shower was hot.
Disliked: You have to drive 20miles up and down the motorway to get on to it, it was dirty and things were broken.

Disappointed, we will not return

Liked: No breakfast option, which was ok. Cheap and location ok.
Disliked: To be fair we have used this hotel three times now, it’s always been a little tired, but suits us for cruising from Southampton. I don’t think there have been any refurbishments in the 10 years we have used the hotel. This time it felt even more passed its sell by date, we will not use it again.
