Visited with my wife and 6-year old twins. Clearly a hotel that is well-used by business travellers, but was surprisingly well suited for families too. Location is great if arriving by car as it is just off the motorway. Check-in was smooth and very friendly. Family room was of average size, but well appointed, and perfect for a family with... More

This was my second visit to the Solent, both times on a business trip. The rooms are well equipped and the communal areas comfortable. There is a log fire in the reception area with plenty of seating though the bar area feels a little sterile. In the bedrooms there is fresh milk and complementary water in the fridge and a... More

I stayed in the hotel for a week. The rooms are clean and in good condition. The hotel staf are friendly and helpful. I did however experience some confusion regarding a pair of trousers I needed to have cleaned. However all was successfully managed in the end. The only thing that really annoyed me was that I wanted to eat... More

All we can say is don't go here when they have a Wedding Fair. Even though there were very few covers in the restaurant, they seem to concentrate on food for the Wedding Fair. They should have told us. We don't expect people from the Wedding Fair walking through the dining room when you are sitting there for a meal.... More

Utilized the bar for a variety of evening meals. Staff were attentive and helpful. Room was large and very well appointed - clean and everything working. Free WiFi thoughout. Large car park... More

We regularly stay at this brilliant hotel and it feels like staying with friends. We use it as both a great place for meeting up with extended family and friends and also for a quiet romantic break and chill. It has the added attraction of the Spa facilities which are good. All the staff are friendly and courteous and go... More

We booked into to this hotel as my brother in law was staying for a Christmas break. It was handy and convenient off the M27 and close to the mother in laws for visiting. We booked Boxing Day night only and the rate was not too bad. However, when we came to order evening dinner we were told it was... More

You make an excellent point and if a more flexible approach had been afforded to you from the outset, I am confident that your experience would have been far more positive.

I chose this hotel a couple of years ago to run a business event and have returned twice since for the same purpose.
