Bathroom was TINY, can’t even fall over in it. The tv was not smart (ie can’t stream) it was a glorified motel with a bit of lipstick to make it look nicer. Photos on expedite were very strategically placed with nice angles!

Was a nice place, bed was reasonably comfortable. We had a downstairs room which meant I could hear people walking around upstairs.They were quite noisey with their footsteps. Maybe a rug or carpet to soften the noise of footsteps. Easy checkin, sent us a text with details and automatically allowed for late check in which was lovely. Easy to checkout with key drop off as well.

The Pod was good for a short stay, but probably best for singles not couples. The water coming out of the shower into the bathroom area would be stopped by having a lip or something. Clean, well presented, good location, well priced though so would stay again

Great price and nice staff, but...

+ We had one of their small rooms with a double bed. The price was great, it's an easy walk to a nice beach, and the staff was friendly. - The office hours are ~9-5 Mon-Sat so you have to call them to get questions answered, they never cleaned the room or replaced the towels, bedding, or coffee/tea (even after 4 nights), and it's not easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. in Cowes. But we think the + outweigh the - and would consider staying there again.

The property we see in the advertisement is not the ones we received. We see the apartments like building in the photos, but we got like cabin rooms instead, was very uncomfortable. No daily housekeeping was there. We were there for 3 nights and no cleaning was done during the time period.
