Portsmouth hotel review Gosport Inn, aka Acorn Lodge Hotel
Helpful about parking, but room well below standard
We were allowed to park in the hotel car park from before check-in time until after check-out time, which we greatly appreciated.
There was good hot water which ran hot very quickly.
However, the room was very disappointing.
Grossly inadequate ventilation - the room was unpleasantly hot. The window was limited to about an inch of opening. Window restrictors are generally not a legal requirement for all hotels, but they are recommended, to prevent falls. There should be a way to override the restrictor in case of fire or other emergencies and the hotel failed to provide this, which could have been used to increase ventilation.
There was a fan, which helped a bit.
Ill-fitting cheap carpet
No bedside table or lamp on one side of the double bed
The shaver light in the bathroom did not work.
No hand towel was provided.
In the bathroom, there was no shelf for toiletries
The online listing for a double room did not reveal that it was accessed only by several flights of stairs.
