Overall stay was good hotel just needs modernising
Pros:

Was close to the beach room size was good we had the signature room location was good close to everything

Cons:

Room was dated could do with a refurb and wasn’t very clean rooms should be cleaned out throughly when people are staying there was sticky handprints on wardrobe that had dried which tells me room hasnt been cleaned after people have stayed in it lamp shade above bed was covered in dust and other parts of room
Breakfast wasn’t the best hardly any food on plate for full English breakfast and Sasuge didn’t taste too good you only get one but wasn’t a nice bit of meat not worth the money included in the price only ate in there as it was hassle free

Nostalgisch anmutendes Hotel mit nur wenig Schwächen, preiswert
Pros:

Gute Lage am Stadtpark von Bournemouth und unweit des Piers,

Cons:

Teurer Parkplatz im nahe gelegenen Parkhaus (vom Hotel empfohlen), vielleicht gibt es günstigere Möglichkeiten ?
