Not much
Cold shower, no bedside lamp, main light bulb was the size of a child’s head with a shade the size of a belt “covering it” making it blind you as you watched tv, minimal toilet roll in the room as we entered and a mission to find staff to ask for more, staff could hardly speak English, despite reviews of comfortable beds, they weren’t, previous reviewers must sleep on tables if they think the beds are comfortable, pile of dust under the radiator from either a drilled hole or plaster coming loose which made us think that not much effort had gone into cleaning the room prior to us arriving.
One of most cleanest I’ve stayed in.
Not a bar area. But it was close enough to a pub anyways
Nothing at all
When we first arrived we noticed the car park was full of litter and the 2 large bins overflowing this was the first red flag! We rang the bell but no one came to let us in or greet us, we were eventually let in by a young lad who was a guest. The first thing that hit us was this awful acrid smell! We were not shown to our room just given a card with a number on it. The room was very basic, dark and depressing, the walls were marked, the bathroom had mould around and the toilet made a constant bubbling noise. We decided we could not sleep in those conditions, there was nobody on reception to complain to, we left and came home
Nothing..
Service and host was bad and their behaviour was also not good… bedsheets were dirty and the kettles were also dirty and bad.
And they locked our doors by 9:00am in the morning and every time we call them they come late..
Nothing
The check in time are not same as you have on booking website, no one in reception all night, the emergency number didn’t work. The window didn’t lock, no draining point on the bathroom, only 4 small towels left for use for a family of 4, 2 of them i had to use to dry the bathroom floor because otherwise we will slip. No shampoo, tv didn’t work, bloody stain look like on the curtain.
room was clean and Tidy. Beds Were Comfortable.

Nothing
Customer service
Nothing
Beds were comfortable and able to fit 5 people in room with 3 beds for kiddies and double for adults. Shower was great. Free parking
The door frame between the bathroom and bedroom had little spikes from the frame so be careful when stepping out. No breakfast
Nice start and clean rooms
The kettle was dirty inside, black stuff floating inside after boiling
We liked bournemouth
The room very cold and the heating we were told! only came on between 8pm & 10pm which was very strange
They was no offer to accommodate us at all
Also lots of noise during the early hours of 4am 6am
Which ruined are supposedly quite weekend away.
