“Good Hotel needing a revised,accurate website.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Twin Room with Balcony
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉Parking was annoyingly difficult despite the initial web page stating 'no need to book' but two days before arrival a mail warned of 'limited spaces but public parking nearby'. This needs to be sorted. Location also inaccurate 'in the heart of Bournemouth is blatently untrue! it may be inside the boundary--just;but it much much closer to Boscombe than Bournemouth town centre.
눇Excellent staff, cheerful,helpful and efficient. Air-con unit in room vital in unusually hot weather. Cleanliness of the whole hotel exceptionally good.

눉No air con in room. You do get a stand alone fan but being there on the hottest day of the year air con was needed. Parking spaces very tight between cars and very few.
눇Very clean and well maintained. Staff were very nice and effecient. Spacious room and very well equipped bathroom. Food at breakfast excellent. Excellent pool. Situated on a quiet road.

눉The first room was fine but didn't have air conditioning. We changed to one that had but we found later that it didn't have a mini fridge. At night we discovered the air conditioning didn't work. The room was boiling hot. We had to use the loudest fan and open windows. We didn't sleep well and were woken up by the noise in the kitchen at 7am. Really bad experience, not worth the executive room money.
눇Helpful staff at the reception. Decent rooms. If it wasn't such a hot day it would have been nice.
