Stayed here due to attending a wedding reception at a near by venue. Good location near Southsea Seafront and very near amusement fair. Ideal location for visiting other areas of Portsmouth like the Historic Dockyard with the Mary Rose, Old Portsmouth, D Day museum and lots more. Being a Platinum IHG Member i did not notice a priority desk on check in and had to wait around 15 minutes to check in has there was large groups checking in at the time i arrived. I was recognized as a IHG platinum member by the reception staff. Hotel has limited parking and had to park on the road outside the hotel, was given a parking permit which i had to display in the car which allowed me free parking. The hotel was clean and tidy, i had booked two family rooms which both were of a fair size which turned out of a bit of a over kill for us but was the same price as a normal room. Purchased breakfast vouchers on check in which were cheaper then purchasing them in the restaurant. Breakfast was good and first time i had seen a waffle making machine in a Holiday Inn so you could make fresh waffles.
