The hotel is a bit dated but clean,friendly and helpful staff apart from the security personnel who didn't seem to understand it was a works party for a large company and not a nightclub full of undisierables they were rude and if anything trying to cause trouble. Breakfast is limited but the food was ok. I would stay there again.

It wasn't very clean. Dirty bed, dirty bathroom, other people's hair everywhere, it felt like they hadn't cleaned or vacuumed. The food was not delivered on time, we had to ask for even plain water. The staff was busy setting the table and didn't pay attention to anything that wasn't there to eat.

Lovely place to spend a weekend in Bournemouth. Chose it for its proximity to Alum Chine beach. Having the pool was definitely a bonus and we made use of it every day. Breakfast was good too, nothing too fancy though. Good value for money!
