Room fine; clean and functional. Staff polite throughout. Unfortunately, you don't have to wander too far away from the hotel to wander into some less desirable areas of z Bournemouth
Staff were really friendly and helpful, which always makes a pleasant stay.
Breakfast items were good and selection was decent, but it gets crowded where the food is and there are a lot of queues. Also, if you need more cutlery you have to go to the front desk again to ask. Normally they are busy working to put the breakfast out so you end waiting for long periods. But the staff are great and keep up a cheerful attitude even under stressful periods.
The shower was blocked and the bathroom flooded as it is a wet room style shower.
I went to reception and the staff immediately arranged another room. He did not apologise for the inconvenience, which I would expect from
Excellent check-in, friendly and warm welcome. Room on the 3rd floor, nice and big. Great bathroom, fluffy big towels and fab shower. Very comfortable bed, slept well! Breakfast was plentiful and of good quality. Location was also excellent.

Where do I start… First, arriving early and having our bags be looked after until check in time, to the little details in a bucket and spade being given to my daughter for the beach, to the excellent breakfast and comfy and clean room. Easily 5 stars and could have given more if allowed!
It was a nice comfortable room with friendly reception & cleaning staff. Was a bit disappointed with breakfast arrangement including the way one of the college behaved. However the reception colleagues were really friendly.

Liked: Staff & service
Breakfast area very busy and cramped like school meal hall
Our stay at the hotel was for 2 days. Room was clean and the location was about a 10 -15 minute walk from the beach, gardens and town centre. Would stay at the hotel again.
We stayed at Holiday Inn for the Bournemouth Weekender which was brilliant. The staff are super friendly, informative and gave us information on local places to visit or if dining out.So, definitely will stay here again.
