the room are nice and there wasn't drama during arrival. the location are good because is near bournemouth international centre for events. a supermarket across the road provides essential snacks. i liked the convenience this provided after long days.
the car parking has limited spaces. i was lucky to secure one of only three available spots. guests needs to be aware of this limitation.

Excellent Stay, Great Location!

fast check-in comfortable bed efficient shower
Check-in was super fast and my room was large I noticed very clean. I loved the good decor and the bed was comfortable and helped me get a good night's rest. The toilets were large and the shower was impressively efficient after a long day.
The walls are super thin it was hard to sleep due to noise from other rooms. I could hear doors opening and shutting and they sounded like slams.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Issues

dirty shower broken blinds
The staff was friendly and helpful.
I found the cleanliness lacking. The shower had curly hair, and I had to clean it myself. The remote control was also full of dirt, and the blinds were partially broken. The parking was also an issue, as there was no guaranteed parking space at the hotel.
