Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good
"Lovely room with sea view and nice en suite. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Reasonable choice at breakfast and all fresh. Good location above the beach - lift recommended! Plenty of rrestaurants nearby, also a convenience store. We enjoyed leaving our car behind and using the open top buses 50/70 to Poole, Swanage and Hengistbury Head. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel (provided you don't mind a noisy breakfast if you eat inside!)"
