I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was large and modern with excellent decor, and the bed was so comfy. The service was exceptional, with the staff always happy and helpful. The location was perfect for my travel plans, and it was great to be so close to the cricket venue. The dining experience was really lovely, offering lots of choice. Overall, a wonderful experience!

The hotel is a mixed bag with some highlights and drawbacks. While the rooms were clean and nice, they appeared quite dated. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful, even in busy times. The location was lovely and bright, ideal for a quiet stay, but the dining experience was chaotic and not up to par. The facilities provided were decent, offering the necessary amenities.

I had a really unfortunate experience at the Holiday Inn. The rooms, which were located at the very end of a long corridor, were clean and quiet. However, despite having booked rooms for myself, my brother, and wife, they refused to stay, resulting in us being charged £220 for rooms we didn't use. Because of this, I doubt I will ever choose a Holiday Inn again and won't recommend their hotels to anyone I know.

The hotel offers decent-sized and clean rooms with all necessary facilities, though lacking a small fridge, which was a bit disappointing. The service was accommodating and friendly, going beyond expectations for a first-time traveler. The location is good for various needs, situated next to a gym. Dining had some shortcomings, with cold scrambled eggs and hard sausages, but homemade pastries were a highlight.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were welcoming and clean, equipped with everything needed for a comfortable night's sleep. However, I did receive two disabled rooms despite booking three rooms a month in advance. The service was pleasant, but not up to the standard of Holiday Inn staff. The location was excellent for my trip, although a bit cramped size-wise.

The hotel is located in a beautiful area, but it is far out of central Southampton. The rooms were far too warm and cramped with a travel cot, making it uncomfortable to sleep. The service of the hotel staff, however, was exceptional, going out of their way to ensure everything was in order. The dining experience offered a good variety with a real English breakfast that exceeded expectations. Overall, the hotel is great for visiting relatives but lacks central proximity.

The hotel offers a comfortable and warm stay with a choice of soft or firm mattresses in well-equipped rooms. The service is highly recommended for creating a very relaxed and good environment. However, the location may not suit everyone due to being a bit atmosphere-free and overly lit, especially for families with young children. The dining experience could have been warmer and more varied, although the facilities are convenient and satisfactory.

Despite booking a few hours before we arrived, the hotel was clean and well-supplied, but the room was overly warm. The service, although not up to the standard of Holiday Inn staff, was amazing and credit to the company. The location was very good, right next to the cricket venue and a shopping complex. The dining experience, with plenty of fruit and cereals, was satisfactory but disappointing for vegetarians seeking hot food.
