"Great location, dated hotel, with poor customer service."

5.0

The location of the hotel is fantastic, directly on Sandbanks beach. My room was spacious

Room was very overlooked by other rooms and the car park and uncomfortably hot, due to heating being left on full blast in summer. Very dated room in need of a makeover, with polystyrene ceiling tiles and tired, unattractive furnishings and fittings. No hotel or local info in room. At breakfast, food was lukewarm to cold and some items not topped up. Difficult to find staff when needed and no-one on the bar. Just one person on check in desk even at busy periods with people queuing out of the door waiting to check-in. No room service, no bar food other than pizza. Impersonal, unwelcoming hotel which fails to justify the premium rate it charges.

Breakfast good but a bit slow to top up things when they ran out.Excellent location right on the beach and the room was nice and quiet.
