The bedroom I saw was very spacious, although it was on the top floor, the only concern I would have had had I spelt there was the sound of the crashing waves, they were very loud. The services at the bar was very good with attentive staff and a good range of product. The resturant was bountiful with the meals on offer. They do offer free wifi in public areas, if you want it in your room you will need to pay!!! Unless you are a Marriott member. Don't forget to register your car if you are in their car park!! All the staff were very helpful I do wish I was there a little longer but that's the way of work.

What a great view as well! The staff was outstanding in all aspects. The front desk lady that checked us in was one of the best I have ever had. The breakfast was very nice. I plan to return to this Marriott whenever in the UK, as it rates as one of my favorites. I highly recommend this hotel.

We parked the car in the hotel car park - ask the reception to open the barrier for you. Great room with a view of the sea and good bar with half price cocktails from 5 til 7. We had dinner in the restaurant which was really good and the staff were great. Breakfast was also good and again the service was excellent. This was the first hotel in Bournemouth opened in 1812 and is still providing a comfortable and welcoming experience. Definitely recommend.

The breakfast was just about the best we've ever had from any hotel full English if you wanted (though I woiuld like to have seen a vegetarian option) or continental and the most fantastic selection of cereals, fruit, yoghurts, juices and even nuts. Rooms were clean and we also had access to a jacuzzi an a gym. We had a very pleasant stay here and if we come back to Bournemouth we'll stay here again.

I explained what happened and although I didn't receive any services, I had paid in full for 5 nights. They refused to refund my money. I would understand if the hotel was fully booked and my reservation prevented other people from booking. But that was not the case. Also since I didn't stay there and I received no services, they would have compromised and give me a partial refund. No one had to clean the room and I dint have the complimentary breakfast. I paid full price for NOTHING! I personally would stay at the Marriott. It is right on the water overlooking the ocean and the service was outstanding.

While competent in terms of hotel basics, I'm giving this place one star. First, my daughter's…read moreiPhone earphones disappeared from our room between the time when we left for breakfast and when we came back from breakfast - when the room was cleaned. Clearly this was a case of employee theft. And yet the hotel did nothing about it when I brought it to their attention. Second, the hotel is very clearly unfriendly to children. The various rules on the restaurants, rooftop lounge, pool and gym basically mean that children can't do anything in the hotel outside of stay in the room. Third, the staff at the rooftop bar acted like they were doing me a favor by serving me, and were insufferably arrogant. All in all, a sufficiently unpleasant experience that I won't be back.

On arrival, I was offered a room upgrade for extra money, and when I saw my own room I could see why! Also they charge £5 for parking. My room was old-fashioned, oddly shaped, had no view whatsoever, and was vaguely grubby. The breakfasts were very ordinary. On the other hand, the location is superb, being 5 minutes' walk from the seafront, the ornamental park, and other attractions.
