Functional stay near transportation

The staff was very helpful when i needed assistance. The room provided basic amenities, like clean towels and bedding. The location was near the coach stop and the town center. This made travel convenient. Breakfast included cereal, pastries, yogurt, and hot drinks.
The room at the end of the corridor had a pungent smell. I opened the windows all night, but it did not eliminate the odor. This was an issue for me.

convenient stay near the cruise terminal

helpful staffexcellent locationclean roomfresh croissants
The staff were genuinely nice and helpful, especially when i needed to check in a bit earlier to drop off my suitcases. barry at the front desk allowed this, so i could enjoy the city center without luggage. the hotel's location is great, very walkable to the main shopping area and waterfront. our room was clean. the continental breakfast was good and the price was fair. The croissants were fresh.
there were only a couple of electrical outlets in the room, made charging multiple devices a little tricky.

breakfast includes pastries like croissants and a selection of other continental options, there is also a mcdonald's restaurant very close to the hotel, it provides an alternative for meals throughout the day. tgi friday's restaurant is nearby and offers a discount for hotel guests.

The hotel has a good location. It is within walking distance to the city center and many attractions. southampton central station is close to the hotel, and horizon cruise terminal is only 5 minutes away. this makes the location convenient for travelers using various transportation methods.
