What a jewel on Oxford St. Wild about our room and the attention to detail used in the decor. Our welcome was personal and thorough. The location was ideal for the areas we wanted to see like the historic district.

The location is fantastic. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with all the amenities. The breakfast and dinner menus provided excellent options and the foods was delicious. Great selection of beers on tap, too. The restaurant staff and hotel staff were all extremely attentive and friendly. If we get the chance to return to Southampton, we will definitely stay at The White Star. Note: the hotel is at the corner of a hopping night spot on weekends. It can get noisy.
