My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. However, there was an unusual smell that bothered me in both rooms, one with a strong damp/urine odor and the other with cigarette smoke. The hotel offered coffee and tea-making facilities, two bottles of complementary water, and a couple of packets of cookies, which was nice.

The hotel is located in an area good for exploring Hampshire and Basingstoke, just a short drive away. However, the noise from the nearby road could be disturbing. The conservatory seemed like a nice place to relax.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were very modern and clean, with lovely comfortable beds. The restaurant offered a fabulous buffet for both children and adults, and the main dishes were superb. The only small issue was that my room was located at the back of the building, but the bathroom was beautifully modern.
