All depends what you personally want. The Hotel is dated and the decor is tired. Notwithstanding that the Hotel is clean and welcoming, the bedrooms and en suite clean and comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities. The Staff are very pleasant and helpful and the food is delicious. I enjoyed my first stay and am booked to return for several days. It provides all I require and more than some more expensive higher rated Hotels. I will be booking again in the New Year. The Hotel provides all I require in ample quantities.

I have been here several times, convenient for care home to visit family. Some of the rooms are small and tired, some large and lovely with fridge. Room 114 the latter, and has a bath.

The staff make this a 5 star review..the hotel itself is very dated but kept clean..the breakfast is a typical English breakfast and always well cooked and plenty of choice. Well stocked bar where you can also buy bar food, the bar food is quite basic but ok if you don't fancy eating out at one of the many eating places that Bournemouth has to offer....Nice family hotel.

Great stay. Great room. Great breakfast. Great location. Great price. Great service. A re-vamp of the decor would have gotten a fifth star but this wasn't of detriment to the visit.
