Staff friendly and helpful, location good for the many bars and restaurants on Poole Quayside.
Room was adequate, not enough sockets in convenient places for kettle etc. Heating took a bit of fathoming out (had to contact reception). Shower not good.

Great room and staff. Very clean and nice area to be in near the harbour. No elevator which was ok for us but just to acknowledge it if it’s an issue. Parking was difficult due to the street being closed!
