This is a nice hotel, the staff were really nice and accommodating. The property is a little dated though and corridor carpets could do with an upgrade. The Spa area I understand is being refurbished soon too, so that's good. I would stay here again.

Excellent leisure facilities. Ordered extras but drink wasn’t in room on arrival. Breakfast cleared my tea and cutlery while I queried for bacon! I had left a walking stick against my table.

I liked the property for the location and easy to get into Bournemouth by foot or bus. Hotel had good restaurant and friendly staff who made you welcome. Car parking a bit difficult with access and not many spaces for disabled. There is an additional parking next door which is another plus. Best you arrive early to find the best spots.

Hotel was really good for the price I paid, the room was very clean, bedding and towels spotless, staff were very friendly and it was in a good location. I would stay here again for sure. Only slight negative, the shower was a little disappointing but not enough to stop me coming back.
