Reg

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We were lucky to have a see view, the room itself was very large and clean and a little dated which didn't detract from our 2 day stay. The communal areas were in better condition and the two pools were lovely, we ate once at the hotel and the breakfast was excellent. All staff were very good and Neolia on reception was particularly pleasant, with nothing to much trouble. Would definately stay again.

Philip

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room, though recently painted, had old, scuffed furniture - wardrobe with handle missing, no chest of drawers, mean chairs, no house phone, no safe, no ;lidded waste bin in the bathroom, no water own the hottest weekend of the year ('you can buy some at the bar,' the receptionist informed us) and smelled faintly of cigarette smoke. Dull, featureless. Some friendly staff - Nisha, Pavan, Tommy - though not on reception. Seriously overpriced at £250/night.
empty cabinet in the lift where the emergency phone should be

The breakfast was very good. Room could be cleaner - rooms need decorating (not modernising just watermarks on most walls!) bar service was really poor, but apart from that an enjoyable stay

Extortionate parking charge

Everything was good. Great sea view from my room. Only gripe was the car park charge of £20.00 per night. I mentioned this on check-out, but the receptionist insisted that they are the cheapest in Bournemouth. This is of course untrue - if you are the cheapest for parking, why not advertise it as a benefit, not keep it under wraps until guests arrive and havevpassed throughvthe car park cameras.

The staff attention was outstanding. The hotel is outdated. It needs a refurbishment. The bedroom carpets are mouldy as are the other carpets. The cleaners do a good a very good job, however this does not compensate for the circumstances of the outdated rooms. The public areas are generally well kept.
