We booked Holiday Inn for a night as we were helping our daughter to relocate for her job. As such we didn't have a lot of time to look around. However reading other reviews and the price and location guided our choice. We were very happy with everything. The rooms were lovely, comfy, warm and clean, the staff friendly and the breakfast offered plenty of choice. We were in fact surprised to see warm food as we thought we would get a 'continental breakfast'. The location is perfect to shop from or take a walk around and enjoy the scenery. Would stay here again and recommend to friends.

Poor choice of food - expensive and all high fat. Restaurant area was lit up like an airport departure lounge.

It was accessable,clean staff got about their work but were pleasant when talked to, breakfast was hectic but very pleasant. Rooms were clean and facilities above average.all in all a good stay. Bed was comfortable [but for my back a bit too soft], the adjoining rooms walls were not that sound proof, so if someone talked loudly you could hear them. We had to wait for plates and cups at breakfast. All in all these are minor complaints but are probably relevant to this survey. We enjoyed what time we spent in the hotel, and would certainly use it again if we were in the area.

The location is perfect: right in the centre of the town! The major shopping centre is opposite; there are a great amount of restaurants nearby and attractions such as Monkey World and Tower Park are within a half hour drive. The Hotel is in the town between the beach and country. The staff are very helpful and pleasant and the breakfast area is very modern and stylish. The continental breakfast offers a lot of choice. The bedrooms are clean and neat. The beds are very comfortable; great for a good night's sleep after an adventurous day! The sofa bed was a bit tatty- a couple of threads were loose and there were a couple of marks. It could have done with replacing, in comparison with the rest of the place.

Great location for shopping and walking to nearby places. Breakfast had a good choice and friendly atmosphere. Quality of pillows were poor very thin and had labels on saying soft and firm but there was virtually no difference.

Very close to 'The Lighthouse', where we were attending a concert. Good buffet breakfast; plenty of space in our room; well-designed bathroom; free parking a real bonus. We will definitely consider staying here again if we attend any more evening events at The Lighthouse This is really something for the Poole town-planners to consider....there is no proper walkway/path for pedestrians to use to make their way to the town centre from the hotel.

Noisy room despite requesting a quiet one.Appalling meal in the restaurant and the beer was off .The food was so inedible I sent it back and demanded a refund. Poor service, and I will not be returning.
