“Poole Quay Hotel sits right on the marina, making it ideal for visitors keen on harbourside views and water sports. I noted how the staff's friendliness stood out consistently, creating a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. While showing its age in places, the hotel's location and accommodating service still make it a practical choice for exploring Poole and the Jurassic Coast.”
