It's like walking into Grandmas house- very comfy and cozy, displayed glassware, and wonderful smells!!! We sat at a window seat so we could people watch, and ordered the goat cheese/croutons as an appetizer, tomato soup and slaw for my lunch and hubs had the 'streaky bacon' which was a wonderfully tender ham steak with apples and roasted veggies. It was all very tasty, I had a glass of wine and hubs had a local beer. 46 pounds total. We love their farm to table meals and we'd definitely be back. Service was friendly and efficient.

Both sides of the street are lined with small restaurants and bars. Dining is outside or inside. The pub at the White Star offers a good selection of drinks and a nice menu. The rooms vary by size and occupy the 3 floors above the pub/restaurant. All are accessed by a staircase, if you have large bags, they can store them for you. Our rooms have always been very nicely furnished an immaculately clean. There's a coffee maker, and water boiler, tea, sugar etc as well. Air conditioning is adequate, the water pressure is good and the towels big and fluffy. The staff are welcoming and attentive.

The hotel suggested we take a cab but we managed to pull our 24 inch luggage from the hotel. We cut through the Holiday Inn parking lot. I wouldn't recommend you walking unless you're very mobile. It took us under 15 minutes. We enjoyed the hotel. Very upbeat. We noticed a photo booth on the mezzanine and table tennis. We had a choice of 500 points or food credit $10 per person. I took the food credit as we were going to eat before leaving for the terminal the next morning. Spent about another $12 USD out of pocket. Standard breakfast food options. We also had hotel bar food for dinner the day we checked in after the two fish and chip places suggested by the hotel didn't work out. Ordered: * hubby had chicken wings * I had Mac n cheese balls * BIL had chicken curry * sis had egg rolls We each were given a free cocktail voucher. It was like a fruit punch. Also got local beer. There's a shopping center across the street. It was a Sunday so stores closed early.

The bar on the ground floor is pretty cool and I enjoyed all the decor. We were given a complementary welcome drink, which was greatly appreciated. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Unfortunately, I only had about 90 minutes of sleep due to going to bed late and needing to get up early to catch a bus back to Heathrow. The bed and pillows were lovely and there was nice lighting, even a motion sensitive light under the bed so you didn't trip over things in the dark. I wouldn't hesitate to book this hotel again. It was nicer than I anticipated and felt "cool" and "trendy." Drink were a bit pricy but there are countless options within a short walk.

Accessible entrance and lifts are in the lobby. Stairs were also easy to find and use. It is clean, bright, and has a relaxed ocean vibe. Our room overlooked the harbor, we could see the Queen Mary 2, and it was quiet. There were binoculars in the room that were fun to use! We were on the 5th floor so during the day and evening we could hear the chairs and furniture scraping the floor in the rooftop bar (on the 6th floor). Not terrible, but next time I'd prefer not to be on the fifth floor. The bed was comfortable but oddly the comforter barely fit the bed - we had to sleep in the center of the bed because the comforter was not wide enough to reach beyond the edge of the bed when we weren't in it. There cannot be an outlet in the bathroom by law, so using the hair dryer was also a challenge. There is a big full length mirror near the bathroom, but no outlet nearby and the hairdryer cord was not long enough. Fortunately there was a nice makeup mirror in the bathroom I was able to move and could prop up on the tissue box on the desk to see my hair while I dried it. Keeping the makeup mirror on the desk (where there is natural light) is a good idea because the lighting in the bathroom is terrible. Loved the chairs and colors in the room. Plenty of closet space and drawers. There is also a snack closet - look for the price list! We ate at the rooftop bar twice. When we arrived in the afternoon we had drinks and a pizza - both great! Jon was wonderful & helpful! We came back for breakfast the next morning. The buffet was perfect for me - the overnight oats were delicious as was the yogurt (very tangy) and fresh fruit. Hubby had some buffet items and eggs Benedict which he enjoyed. We would definitely stay here and dine here again!

We asked if possible to move and were given a nice table inside by the windows.

When I booked the cruise I decided to splurge and upgrade to a Queens Grill suite. The suite itself was very nice. My butler was...adequate. He did what I asked of him but his service was indifferent. Maybe he'd been on the ship for a while and was fatigued, maybe he has other personal stuff going on...I get it. I just felt he didn't go the extra mile, as so many advertisements claim they would. The food was okay, nothing spectacular. I've had better at high-end restaurants. The disembarkation process was a mess. I asked several crew members what the process is (I have disabilities and occasionally need extra help), and none of them could give me a clear answer. One actually said "I don't know, we'll figure it out tomorrow." I don't know about you, but when I'm paying $12k+ for a cruise and I ask questions they don't have answers to I want someone to respond "I'm not sure, but let me find an answer for you" instead of "We'll figure it out tomorrow." The excursions and ports were amazing, but overall the service I received lacked the polish and excellence the Cunard name is known for. I might go on another cruise, but it won't be with Cunard.

I chose Cunard because of their patina of elegance and sophistication. My experience was akin to dealing with Frontier Airlines

What we needed was a hotel that was convenient to the harbor, had restaurants and shopping within and easy walking distance, had comfortable beds and quiet rooms, offered a nice breakfast options, felt safe and was a reasonable price for this short and highly functional stopover.

Would I stay there again if leaving on another cruise out of Southampton - most definitely.
