GREAT stay in Southsea!

close parkinghelpful housekeepergood sized roomcomfortable bed
The location was GREAT for exploring Southsea. I even got a parking space VERY close, and paid only £2 for a permit. The helpful housekeeper KEPT everything clean, and the room was a GOOD size. I was warm and the bed was comfortable.
The breakfast time was quite early with a short window. The breakfast itself was fine but there was no choice if you didn't like beans with juice or instant coffee, a bit disappointing!

The B&B provides parking permits for a small fee, VERY convenient arriving by car. This simplifies parking in the area. Housekeeping services maintain a HIGH level of cleanliness throughout the premises.
