I know it is end of season but we just felt that the hotel was running on the scruffy side of cleanliness.
Staff were nice enough though a bit abrupt and not really that warm welcoming feel you would like.
£20 a day to park your car is a joke.
The room we had was with the foot of the bed about 6" higher that the head. Woken up both nights by noises.
Bournemouth itself felt a little run down.

Was a good stay. The bed was very comfy and the room was clean. Only niggle was that the cold tap was warm, the room was a bit dated and the sign posting for rooms could be a bit clearer. Would I stay here again, yes I would.
Dog friendly hotel staff friendly close to beach parking was nightmare but we was lucky big family room comfortable bed

It's ok
Good location, parking is limited and at £20 per day which seems a little steep. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was super tiny, didn't have room to put our luggages, couldn't open bathroom door when wardrobe is open, barely had room to walk really but the bathroom is very nice, clean and new, lovely showerheads. Unfortunately we had very noisy neighbours who used the landing as extended part of their room at 1am, even after being told off by hotel staff, so we got zero sleep..
Not impressed!
Not a particularly friendly welcome and the ladies English was not great.
Hallways smelt, our room smelt, bathroom smelt and even the bathroom cabinet smelt!
Extremely shallow shower tray overflowed after 1 shower, imagine the state of the floor after 5 of us had showered!
A rickety old bunk bed had been plonked in the room, some bright spark decided to put it with the ladder on the far side only a few inches away from the window making it tricky to climb the ladder and to get behind to draw the curtains. Every time one of the children moved it made an awful noise.
The coving was coming away from the ceiling and paint chipped off the wall in places.
The duvets didn’t seem to fit their covers.
Not what we would expect from a 4* hotel or for the price we paid, disappointed.
