“I find that this hotel's strong suit is blending naval history with modern leisure, near Portsmouth's key attractions. The nautical-themed decor and versatile event spaces stand out, although the basic breakfast contrasts with the high-standard dinners. I think that the indoor pool and comprehensive leisure facilities ultimately round out a solid stay.”
