My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were not as expected, being warm with poor ventilation and lacking the promised view, they were still clean and comfortable. The service was overall good, with a few standout friendly and helpful staff members but others expressing upsetting opinions. The location was convenient for my purpose, close to central Bournemouth, but felt a bit outdated. The dining experience varied from disappointing to very good, depending on the meal. Facilities were adequate, albeit with some room for improvement.

The rooms, unfortunately, did not meet our expectations. They had no view, were warm with poor ventilation, and some maintenance issues like a broken shower head and loose towel rail. Despite this, the room was clean and provided comfort.

I stayed at this hotel, and while the rooms were incredibly clean and very comfortable, they were quite dated with small double beds. The spotless room overlooked the serene garden. The service was exceptional with young, happy, and helpful staff who made my stay enjoyable. The location, although slightly challenging to access on the top floor with steep stairs, was ideal for my needs close to the venue. The delicious dining options were extensive but unfortunately marred by staff interactions. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few drawbacks.

The hotel rooms were beautiful, with a really big comfortable bed, high ceilings, and big windows. It was very clean, but the shower had some issues with temperature consistency. The service was extremely charming, with friendly staff members who were helpful and welcoming. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main stretch of Bournemouth beach and close to the seafront. The dining experience was good overall, with delicious meals cooked to order, but some improvements could be made with certain food items. The facilities were convenient and well-maintained.
