R from Hinckley, GB (Mature couple) 29 October 2008

When we checked in, we were with my 95 year old mother. We had been to a family funeral in Chichester and my mother was booked into another hotel in Bournemouth from Monday 27th October on holiday. I had mentioned this in a previous telephone conversation with receptionist Emma. When we arrived, she remembered us and promised the utmost care for my mother during her stay and even agreed to take her on to the next hotel on the monday. Thanks for all your help. (107964042)

positive comments Friendly staff. Fast/efficient check in. Good food

If I had known the hotel had superior rooms at the time of booking, I would definitely have gone for one of those. The staff were very friendly and knew their jobs. Breakfast was a treat, and although I didnt use the pool, I looked in at it and was cross that I hadnt brought my costume. (99929648)

positive comments plenty of hot water, good shower, adequate tea/coffee provided.
negative comments our room was very small.

A friendly and well run hotel with excellent meals and varied menu. It is still in the process of being updated and I am sure that when this is complete it will be even better.I would stay there again. Bedrooms are very hot in warm weather making it difficult to sleep. Air conditioning would the ideal solution (3304733493)
