The Carlton Hotel Restaurant in Bournemouth

Only 24 reviews for this venue ??? That is dreadful. Had afternoon tea here with my Mother and 2 friends - and everything brought was for 3 people - yet there was 4 of us. All the cakes were exactly the same and I am not in the habit of having 2 pieces of the same thing. Complete hash up with the tea , everything was wrong and not a soul to complain to. Invisible staff. Bad decor. Cheap cafe food and impropperly delivered by the kitchen staff who obviously were having a bad day. Appalling shame for Bournem,outh as I remember when this hotel was the best in town, but now with new Hiltons and maga bucks being invested in oither new superior hotels in Bournemouth, the Carlton will remain some place that once was a good venue but has now slipped way down in quality, style, service, food and even the bedrooms are below par - well below par.
