However, some aspects of the rooms need attention. Its location near key Portsmouth attractions makes it a practical choice for visitors.”

Solid Stay with Great Location!

central location helpful personnel flexible accommodation comfy bed
The location was central and quiet. The personnel were nice and helpful. They accommodated our requests with flexibility. The bed was comfy and I found the price ok.
There was a very slight delay at check-in because I hadn't received the key code yet.
