Creator's Key Takeaways

This hotel is located just off junction 7 of the M27, and the hotel is conveniently located next to the Cricut Ground, making it an easy to find spot.

It's around a 20-minute drive into Southampton Cruise Terminals.

The room I stayed in was on the third floor and was a good size with plenty of space and great for a comfortable pre-cruise stay.

Despite being fairly close to the road, the room was surprisingly quiet.

βœ“If you're driving and don't mind extra travel time on your cruise day, this hotel is well worth considering.
