Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - North by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - North by IHG

8/10 Good
"We stayed here twice over a week, both ends of our holiday to the Isle of Wight. The check in time was efficient and staff were friendly. The breakfast was tasty. Both rooms were spacious with two double beds. The only issue we had was the second room, had smelt very damp like they had washed the carpets an hour before but the room hadn't dried quick enough leaving a damp and musty smell. If it wasn't for the dampness smell of this room it would have been a 5* from me."
