Bournemouth in June

hello viewers.

I'm going on my first holiday for 10 yrs, starting 13th June for 2 weeks and B'mouth is my destination. I have looked on laterooms.com but am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of hotels and deals. As June is not the school holiday season would I better just turning up and finding somewhere and negotiating a rate or should I book it now?
Any tips on places to stay or avoid appreciated.:)

    avoid boscombe and around the train station hotels(there's a red light area and lots of drugs)--the west cliff has the highest number of BB s but there are some seedy areas there too.

    I have just come back from a few days in Bournemouth.
    I booked The Cliffeside, it has two sister hotels next door and you can use their facilities, gym, indoor pool etc.
    The hotels were ok but expensive as they all are if you wanted drinks or evening meal so I ate out evenings elsewhere.
    we had a lovely room with a seaview and no problems at all.
    It was a buffet breakfast too :-)

    I went through Topcashback and lastminute.com and got a really good price and cashback
