Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is so close to the beach and near everything, making it super convenient. The rooms were kept very clean, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The service, particularly housekeeping, was top-notch. However, even though it's not directly on the beach as described, the location is still fantastic for exploring. The dining choices were satisfying, especially the ice cream treat. Overall, a great stay for the price!
The hotel is conveniently situated not far from the beach and near Bournemouth town center. The rooms are well-maintained and come with modern amenities, though the shower could use improvement. The service is efficient and housekeeping does a good job. While the location is close to the town center, it's not right on the beach as described. The dining experience is satisfactory, offering a variety of dishes including delicious crêpes. Overall, it's a decent stay with good value for money.
The hotel was situated near the sea and close to all amenities, although it wasn't exactly on the front of the beach as initially described. The rooms were kept very clean and had a TV, but for evening showers. Housekeeping service was efficient, making the stay pleasant. The dining options served American-inspired dishes, and the facilities were satisfactory.
