This is an excellently located hotel for Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth Docks, Fratton Park. It is a typical travel lodge style, simple and unfussy. The free 24 hours parking is a real bonus. The breakfast is also excellent. The room was a little tired, but for the price, location and friendly staff I'd still rate it excellent.
