person found this review helpful

Stayed in this PIT in October like jones1 review belows Me and my girlfriend were greeted by several BIG RATS and thats no exagggeration! not only in the carpark but on the grass area & path bit rite outside the reception doors! they didnt even run away when we got close. There was a polish lady behind desk who just LAUGHED when i told her about the RATS NOT GOOD, There was somebody else's POO in our toilet when we use for first time i complained to the lady on desk, all she said was ok and she look at me.i told her we wanted different room as this was DISGUSTING,moved to another room,later we heard loud laughing coming from outside receptions door, when me ad girlfiend went for cigarete there were 4 drunk men drinking lots of cans of beer and smoking they were scottich i think..they were saying rude things to my girlfriend and this made her very upset, the desk lady said they should not be drinking alchol as it is motorway but she not say anything to men as she said they are staying for lots of months as they are working in area so i think she did not want to upset them as they must have paid a lot of money to stay a long time...There is a better hotel only 5 minietes down the motorway a Holiday inn go there its beautifull, dont just go to Days inn winchester as it cheaper it is HORIBLE

Room Tip: Dont go to it

“Daylight robbery”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Be very carefull with booking with a room there.
It is not very clear stated that the Hotel is far far away from Winchester and it is not easy to get to.You will have first to go up the M3 (25 miles) and then turn around to get there. You WILL NEED A CAR.
If you have booked there a 'cheap' room and then discover that it will be VERY expensive to get there and back ( by Taxi to Winchester, about £70-£100) , they WILL NOT give you your money back WHAT SO EVER. ( it did happen to me. I'm not from there, so I didn't know the aera)
I would say it is close to daylight robbery.
AVOID that Hotel!!!!!!!!!!!
And get yourself a room somewhere else in Winchester!!!

“Inxpensive, but reasonably good accomodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

Stayed for three nights, hotel used as an inexpensive base for Hampshire excursions. Hotel OK, service didn't make bed or clean toilet first day (no toilet brush either). Other than that - just about right for the price, we didn't try their breakfast.

Like everyone else says, when approaching from the north you have to go about 8 miles past the hotel to turn around and backtrack.

No sign of vermin mentioned by previous reviewer .

A big plus for the (for me) comfortable beds !

“GIANT RATS EVERYWHERE & VICOUS DOG, FLEAS & UNCLEAN CARPETS..AVOID!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Arrived at night we saw 8 diiferent rats just by walking from car to reception a very short walk of less than around 25 meters!! This was very terrifying for my wife and child they didnt want to get out of the car!! Should have been warned off by this but we were tired as it was gone 11 at night.
Walked into reception and my small child was immediatly snarled at by a VERY FIERCE uncontolled large Alsation dog with an unhelpful owner attached to the lead, my child was very upset by this..The receptionist guy, skinny i guess in his late 50s with glasses & very short hair did not apologize about the dog he just siad that it was a long term residents dog, while i was checking in my wife noticed the badly stained reception carpet (very grim) I mentioned the rats to the receptionist again he seem totally un-interested.There was nowhere to get anything to eat apart from a whsmiths shop next door but we did not want to venture out for fear of the plague of rats!!
The room was ok but looked very tired and outdated especially the carpets tub chair & bathroom..mould around the bath! it smelt as if the previous guests had smoked in the room although the hotel is all non-smoking and there were dog hairs and what i possibly thought was a flea on the white bed cover!!
Was woken at around 5.30 am by lorries and somebody wheeling a large container of something into the hotel and then stamping loudly as they left i guess to scare the rats away..
We could not wait to leave in the morning in the daylight the exterior of the hotel looks like a large tin shed with a mismash of colours purple & blue??
Overall very poor experiance and would never recommend this dump to anyone especially families, take it from us we have stayed in many budget hotels accross the uk and this is by far the worst!!!

“Great Hotel, Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

Very clean rooms and friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Like everyone else says, when approaching from the north you have to go about 8 miles past the hotel to turn around and backtrack. About $50 for nice room and free internet. Not breakfast but the Burger King next door gets the job done.
