The ad promised luxury but it didn't deliver

Room: We stayed for two nights and had trouble with our room key all the time - so had to keep going up and down 2 floors to reception to get help with this - very time consuming and tiring. There were lots of other guests experiencing the same problem. Bed was way past its best and the furniture mismatched - which in a very small room made it feel cramped and cluttered. I really like the air con that was available and the TV was big, easily seen from the bed and worked well. The ensuite was very tired and mouldy, and the towel rail fell down when we tried to use it. The hotel was Victorian and I would've liked some info in the room about its history and heritage, and maybe some information about Bournemouth and what was happening in the area and things to do etc. Food: We had a meal in the hotel on night two and it was delicious. I didn't like the UHT milk cartons we had in our room as part of our drinks/kettle area. Our towels were tiny, I was expecting bath sheets. Spa Facilities: The keycard to the spa didn't work but another patron let us in. We tried to use the spa pool but it was busy and much smaller than the photos showed. The sauna was working but the steam room was out of order. Parking: it was useful to have a carpark available.

The hotel was great very big and spacious, wonderful staff including the cleaning crew who did our room. Breakfast was buffet full english with cereals pastries and fruit options. The only down side for our stay was the pool is smaller than the photos lead you to believe and the lift is always busy (but this isnt anything the gotel can do anything about) theres 4 floors and alot of guests. Neither of this things stopped us enjoying our nreak away ..we were on the top floor in a family room and thoroughly enjoyed our stay Theres a lovely walk to the beach and we could even see the sea from our window

For the price you pay, you expect a better standard of hotel. It looks very dated and in need of improvements. The bathroom was tiny, as was the swimming pool and car park. There was no fridge in the room. Breakfast was good but items kept running out and you needed to wait.

Needs attention to facilities communication

The hotel staff were very friendly and nice. However the hotel could do with more updating especially in the bathrooms. The bedding eg pillows and duvets and mattresses are heavily stained under the sheets and should be replaced more often. There was no hot water on the last day and no offer of explanation or apology for the situation for guests. The spa facilities are much smaller than they appear in the photos and the pool water was filthy. Breakfast was very nice as a positive.
