The hotel itself was adequate for a quick cheap stay. The beds were rock hard as were the pillows which made it quite uncomfortable to sleep. The parking situation was a nightmare. It’s like people park their cars then don’t leave for a week as during our two day stay we didn’t once see an available park and the same cars just seemed to be there. Had to park on the street which wasn’t of great comfort with the amount of broken glass along footpaths from cars clearly being broken in to. No room service during the stay which didn’t bother us but the fact there was no free wifi in rooms was ridiculous for this day and age. Overall it was a “get what you pay for” stay but was okay for a quick stop when you’re doing a road trip and can’t afford to be staying in 5 star luxury the whole time

Reception staff has no clue about customer service. Cold and full of attitude. They need to be trained how to deal with customers. I wish i could give them -5 stars.

One night stay.
Reception area was nice. Outside area very untidy. Room was a reasonable size but in need of refurbishment. Pillows were rock hard.No shelf in the bathroom for toiletries. Obviously someone had been smoking in the room. Cigarette butts on outside window sill.

The hotel itself is alright, nothing in particular stands out to make it amazing. The beds are super comfy and make for a great sleep there is very limited parking and we ended up having to park on the main street due to there being no space. We had a very short stay of 1 night where we spent limited time at the hotel so it was right for us- it is rougly 30 minute walk from Bournemouth beach/ the triangle. The reception is open 24 hours a day so if youre coming back late at night you still have access which is nice!

Very disappointed
Unfortunately our original room was absolutely disgustingly filthy, tide mark round bath, dirty toilet, carpets not vacuumed. Management moved us to new room which was comfortable and clean. This hotel is so old dirty and tired. Carpets do not look like they’ve been hoovered for months.
