Nothing really, all good

Location, cost and how clean it was

We were in room 8 bathroom was very small, and may some hooks of the back of bathroom door would help with hanging towels. Extra hooks on room door may give more options for hanging clothes

Well decorated room, the tiny shower room looked great. A very comfortable bed. Tea/coffee/bottled water. Great location opposite Poole Museum, almost next to the quayside.

The instructions to enter the property say "cover the keypad with your hand", but you actually have to press your hand on the keypad. It was a good thing another visitor who'd worked that out earlier in the day returned just as I was about to give up. Unfortunately the fire alarm went off twice during the early morning. It was a cold and very windy night so standing outside for a while was pretty horrible. No-one knew why the alarms were sounding, but it's obvious that it happens frequently as the owners drew attention to the possibility of it happening in an instruction notice. Apparently even steam from the shower could set it off, so the advice was to shut the bathroom door. I couldn't alter the room temperature which was set at 25° so I was very hot. Despite trying all sorts of combinations of settings, I couldn't get any warm water in the tiny shower, so all in all a fairly miserable one night stay.
