Great views! Wonderful staff!
Pros:

The location and indoor pool.

Cons:

The roller blinds in the bedroom were a cream colour and were not blackout blinds so the room was too light for sleeping with the early dawn.
The parking was a problem not helped by Bournemouth Council complicated parking charging on the streets around.

Pros:

Breakfast was nice, and it wasn’t too busy. Lovely views from the window and short walk down to the beach.

Cons:

The car park needs more round, very tight spaces and not much room to manoeuvre. Our room wasn’t cleaned properly, still a pair of shorts and a pair of knickers behind the chest of drawers (room Eugenie).

Pros:

Great view, friendly staff, good location, room was nice and cold (good aircon).

Cons:

Hotel has been renovated however it is old. So it was VERY creaky. I could hear creaks throughout the night because of people moving around in the rooms next to me. Shower stream was also very weak. That’s why I don’t think it was entirely worth the price but the view does make up for it, and the aircon facility. It made it nice.
