Loving the decor in the lobby and in the restaurant and bar, bedrooms were lovely and the bed very comfy and big. Breakfast was really good and lots of choice, something for everyone. Loved the long walks along the coastline.

Thought parking a bit expensive on top of paying over £306 for our room. Tea and coffee tray very poor for a 4 star hotel. Some of the furnishings in bedroom were very dusty and hadn’t been done for some time, light fittings in bathroom, picture and door frames

We like the location of the hotel and it had an outside pool.Rooms have been updated.Quiet night sleep.

Pool area was not manned,lots of children and adults had no regard for other people staying at hotel.Throwing balls ,jumping in,more like Butlins.There was a cheer leading competition,there where practicing in the water,saw a young girl doing cartwheel down corridor.We paid a lot of money to stay at the hotel and parents and children should be reminded/staff more vigilant,because we didn,t see anybody who was bothered about what was going on.

Hotel location at West Cliff could not be better. Beautiful views of the sea and beach and an easy walk to the beach, buses and the town. Beach Lift just across the road in front of the hotel could not be more convenient. Reception staff and breakfast staff at the hotel very pleasant and helpful.

Out of a 7 day stay it seemed quite regular for some item of hot breakfast to be missing, not kept topped up. Fried eggs I think the favourite to have gone. Even baked beans!! No teaspoons on the tables with other cutlery but drinks served at tables & milk jugs on the tables. More attention to detail and the service at breakfast needed. Annoying little things. Food hot and cold choice was good.

loved the view. The bar I enjoyed my stay. The room and view were great. The staff were lovely and I enjoyed a few drinks in the bar in the evening. The location was great. There is a cable car down to the beach as you are up the hill.

We stayed in the cottage rooms which were a little detached from the hotel. I have stayed twice and this has happened twice.They were lovely but if I had mobility issues this would have been issue. Just feel it fair to say contact them so it doesn’t effect your stay as the hotel itself is lovely.

Very helpful and welcoming staff. Excellent position for easy walking into the town, restaurants and pier.

Car parking in great demand with spaces tricky to get into. Bathroom door not able to be closed as top hinge was not seated properly. The television in the bedroom was a Smart TV but as it did not have an internet connection, all the Smart facilties weren't available, nor was it posible to use the screen cast facility from a mobile phone as that too required the TV to have an internet connection. Very disappointed that we couldn't access Netflix or iPlayer during our stay. You pay premium prices for a highly rated hotel so you expect your room to be top notch. I've stayed in many better.

One of the highlights of my stay was the breathtaking sea view from my room. Waking up to the sight of the endless blue ocean every morning was truly a rejuvenating and unforgettable experience. The peaceful ambiance and serene surroundings added a touch of tranquility to my stay, making it a truly relaxing retreat. Furthermore, the amenities and facilities at the Marriott Hotel exceeded my expectations, and I found everything to be well-maintained and conveniently accessible. The comfortable accommodations, delicious dining options, and convenient location all contributed to making my stay a memorable one.

reception very helpful. Restaurant food high quality - eventually (see below) View from room absolutely stunning. Bed very comfortable.

Couldn't adjust the height of the hand held shower holder. On first night my kohlrabi dish was tough and near inedible. It was changed and the second version was delicious. However there was scant apology for an incident which impaired our enjoyment of what was for us a special meal. The breakfast buffet took some getting used to nor was it clear what sort of coffee was included in the breakfast price. The restaurant staff were friendly and charming but in my opinion need to learn not to appear to be under pressure even if they are. These criticisms did not prevent us from enjoying our stay but could and maybe should be addressed in an hotel of this standard.

Very good food and breakfast provisions with plenty of space at the table and in the surroundings. The room was a good comfortable space too and the bath was a welcome extra. The room enabled us to feel more independent and able to be up in the night as needed without disturbing other people.

I had not appreciated that the room was outside of the main hotel and needed us to go outside and across the car park to get to the breakfast room. This was an oversight on my part though perhaps could be clearer in the write up . It did provide additional effort to manoeuvre when booking in and as a carer I needed to get through 3 doors with luggage to enter the room.

First rate location on cliffs overlooking the Pier and along the coast in both directions. Quality hotel.and accommodation, within easy walking distance of central Bournemouth.

Having to pay for on-site parking; I know it's only £12 par day, but I dislike the way that otherwise quality hotels try and get extra money out of guests who have already paid a premium rate for their room. Some btmreakfast items were just not up to scratch for such a fine hotel: rubbery fried eggs, scrambled eggs not made with real egg; awful coffee; only cheap, fat-free yoghurt; a lot of the traditional hot items were not very well cooked or presented; smoked salmon only available at an extra £3.50. Lacking a few nice touches in the bedroom: no complimentary biscuits; only sachets of powdered coffee, to give just 2 examples - these little touches make a difference to the stay.

The first hotel that I have no complaints about the room size, the beds, the look, the staff, was a pleasure to stay. Wished we had booked another night. Unfortunately we stayed in November on a very dark grey evening, I would imagine on a beautiful sunny day the hotel’s seafront view would be sublime.

Car park was full on arrival as we were late due to traffic only spot left had been partly taken by an enormous white van that had share extra space in mine. Managed to squeeze in but maybe some rearrangement of spaces for larger vehicles would help. Although to be fair it was a decent sized car park for a hotel
