The photos on Expedia do not reflect the reality of this hotel today - or I guess for many years.
There’s no breakfast offered, the room could only be described as “pretty grim”, the shower and bathroom were musty and dank, and reception was almost always unmanned
To be fair the bed and towels were properly clean, which is the most important thing about anywhere - but that’s a pretty low bar really, not a selling point.
If I’d paid, say, £40 a night and had seen real photos so I would have known what to expect it would have been OKish - but that’s not really what this website (and some of the reviews) led me to believe.
Very much at the bottom end of budget accommodation in Bournemouth - which, having stayed at a few places in my time, is really saying something.
