This is a nice hotel, the staff were really nice and accommodating. The property is a little dated though and corridor carpets could do with an upgrade. The Spa area I understand is being refurbished soon too, so that's good. I would stay here again.

I liked the property for the location and easy to get into Bournemouth by foot or bus. Hotel had good restaurant and friendly staff who made you welcome. Car parking a bit difficult with access and not many spaces for disabled. There is an additional parking next door which is another plus. Best you arrive early to find the best spots.
