“In my opinion, this historic building has potential, and its pet-friendly policy and proximity to Southsea Common Beach are definite advantages; the on-site bar and the availability of food and beverage discounts are also worth noting. However, some aspects of the rooms need attention. Its location near key Portsmouth attractions makes it a practical choice for visitors.”

The staff helped me keep my food hot. The meals were excellent, with roasts that were substantial. I found the stay to be homely.
The shower drain had a foul odor. I also found a brown, sludgy fluid coming from it.
