Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

5/5 Excellent
"The menu in Brasserie Blanc had a good choice and the food was very well prepared and tasty. The BB staff were very pleasant and courteous both at dinner and at breakfast. The reception staff were very helpful. The room was very comfortably with excellent views of the sea and pier. It was very handy that the West Cliff lift is straight outside the front door of the hotel. It made an interesting route to the beach promenade."
