    There's a few on Laterooms which you can book now or you could try for a late deal at the Exeter (right opposite the BIC) a bit nearer the time.

    Heathlands looks OK for £32 - wouldn't mind some of that for myself. About 10 minutes walk from BIC.

    Also go through Quidco for a further 5%.

    the Travellodge is about 20 minute or so walk from the BIC. Might be better checking out the B&B's on Westcliff, all within 5 mins walk and probably within price range for what you want

    Try the Manchester Hotel, about a 5 min walk from the BIC and you'll probably looking at about £20pppn b&b. phone number - 01202 553 333

    I can recommend the Royal Exeter as suggested by Zenmaster.

    Thanks everyone, I need a bit more advice though!

    I emailed the Exeter and they say its going to cost me £100 and they only have 1 room left for that date.

    Anyway Its just way too much money, would they haggle the price down? Is there a site that offers it cheaper anywhere? I just cant justify £100.

    If not anyone suggest a diff one near the BIC? I checked Heathlands ands its got 12 terrible reveiws on tripadvisor...

    The Exeter is trying to become more upmarket so it's unlikely you'll get the cost much lower than it is nowadays. No idea on B&B' to recommend really, everyone has their own views normally so someones good is someones bad, the ones our friends use they just want to use it for somewhere to sleep, they just aim for Westcliff and find one with vacancies, the tourist information office may be able to help if you ring/email

    Sorry, the Heathlands is a dive!
    Actually, not a lot of the hotels are great in Bournemouth anymore. You'd be best with a B&B, there's plenty of places to eat in the evening, so long as you like chain pubs and restaurants!
