“Loved it....!!!!”
I am from Bournemouth, I used to live within a few minutes of this hotel and for a while one of the hotels next door was used as an off site college class, which I attended for one academic year. I had never entered the Carrington House prior to my trip, though obviously I was well aware of it. I initially chose for price, location and a complimentary breakfast. What I was lucky enough to book was one of the best 3 stars I have ever stayed in. Great staff all round from reception to the restaraunt. The complimentary breakfast was an outstanding spread which was a stunning suprise. The room was fully equipped with most anything you may need, rooms aren't huge but plenty comfortable, clean and modern bathroom, as a smoker in a non smoking hotel I was wonderfully pleased to have a balcony that I could simply step out on to and light up upon. All this with an on site snooker table, bar, restaraunt and table tennis table, plus indoor pool. resulted in 2 massively satisfied customers, now I'm usually travelling as a couple and don't wanna burden my friends when I go back to Bournemouth, I highly suspect I will be staying in this hotel everytime I return.
Only possible complaints, room was tucked up and out the way, old building, means lots of fire exits and doors and stairs between lobby and room. Getting hefty luggage in and out was a bit tough. On the way in staff helped, but we made way out at 4am, so was a little tough. Bad water pressure too.
