On site parking is very limited and you have to pay. Checkin was quick,room had tea and coffee facilities but did find a pair of pants in the wardrobe left by other occupants so hasn’t been checked well.

I paid through ebookers (aka Expedia) for Bed and Breakfast, but when we arrived we were told we had room only. No idea where the mistake was - although the hotel blamed us or ebookers. The manager couldn't care less and was useless. No serious attempt to sort this out, except to offer a small discount on the quite expensive hotel breakfast. At one point the manager offered an additional ONE POUND off two breakfasts - big deal!

We have stayed here several time since now. It is clear that the staff are trying extremely hard to achieve a high standard and they are succeeding. We had a warm friendly welcome at reception and then had a courtesy call to our room to ask if we were happy. What a nice touch. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It was very warm but better than being cold! Unlikely many hotel staff these days breakfast is a pleasure. Proper table linen, freshly made coffee and although you line up to choose items for your cooked breakfast they are plated for you and constantly refreshed. Good quality sausages and bacon - always a good sign. Will continue to use this hotel when we go to Bournemouth. A 10 minutes walk from the BIC.

Pros: Convenience, excellent facilities, good food and very good, pleasant service.
Cons: A bit more colour in the rooms, maybe paintings on the walls.
Location: Plenty of high street shops and a nice beach.
We had a 2 night break in the Lodge, which meant a short walk through the car park to get to the restaurant and spa in the main hotel. Otherwise this was a very enjoyable break. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the spa. Very convenient for the beach and the town center with a pleasant cliff top walk very nearby. One minor fault was the room decor which was rather drab - plain pale gray/blue walls with white gloss woodwork.
