Pleasant Stay At The Shore
Pros:

The location was great. The bus stops for Swanage, Poole and Christchurch were only about 5 mins away.
The room itself was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The shower was nice and hot.
It did take me a while to understand the instructions for accessing the hotel and the room, but once I understood them, it was very straightforward. Overall, a pleasant stay!

Cons:

It would have been nice to have a safe in the room to store valuables.
