Rocky start, but managed
When my group of 3 first arrived, we were all booked into one room with one double bed, this was quickly rectified and we were given another room. We noticed that some of the towels we were given were already dirty when we arrived but we were given new ones

Fab wee hotel
Owner went above and beyond, me and my sister booked a twin room which happened to be on the 2nd floor, he noticed my sister wasnt as mobile and offered us a twin room on the ground floor, which was a massive help as she was able to walk further and out longer, we also had use of a microwave which again was no hassle, quite central to all amenities in Blackpool.

Never Ever Again!!!
Never Ever Again!!! Stayed in a family room. Room 10. Thought ok. It was cheap considering the airshow was on. But still £70 roughly a night! Woke up at 7.30 with upstairs having a shower...on me! The ceiling was leaking! You could prior that it had already been leaking! They quickly changed the rooms. So went to room 9. The side of the door handle was hanging off so I had to get the man to srew it on. Went to lock door later on and couldn't as it was bent. Another man had to bang in flat. Having a disabled child with us she screamed the place down as the door was now jamming and she didn't want to get stuck! Went to shut curtains....fell down on my husband. Had to balance it all back on!!! No change of sheets over weeknd. No cleaning of rooms. Not in the best of state's. Stains on wall. Broken toilet seat. Mattresses awfull. Wardrobe broken. Hadn't cleaned floor. No towels in second room. Whoever has had the luxury rooms your lucky ones!!! Never bòok either room 10 or 9!!! I would imagine all the rest are just as bad! Never Ever Again!!! On a good note. Great location. Friendly staff (after you ring them to turn up!)

Lovely stay, lovely hotel
Our stay was 2 nights for £72. When we entered the building we knew it was one of those hotels were you have to climb lots and lots of stairs..we were at the very very top of the staircase, but i am glad because no one was above us. The room was clean and bedding was fresh. The bed was comfy but i couldnt sleep as partner could not sleep which he said it was it was our last night and had to get out of the building by 10am. I liked how they had little soaps and little shampoo bottles if you did not have any...was cute. I liked how you could turn the heating on without no fuss as we were cold in the bed. I liked the coffee and tea facilities and kettle being provided. We could get some more if needed. A very lovely staff member helped me get some more milk and coffee as we needed more. He said, "We always provide our guests with coffee and tea sachets and they are always located here if you need it." Shower was okay, took a while to get the right temperature but otherwise okay. Towels was too small but did the job. There was no one present when we left and could not express our thanks when we left but we had to go to my partners needs. Overall was a lovely stay..thank you.

Typical Blackpool hotel
This is a typical Blackpool hotel. They give you what you need, but there isn’t any ‘frills’. The room was clean and everything worked but needed updating. We had a comfortable stay. We paid for it with Tesco Clubcard vouchers which was good as I think it was expensive at £70 per night.

Very tired decor. Mouldy grout in bathroom. Curtains hanging off rail. Window handle broken so couldn’t shut window. No sound-proofing between rooms. Tv hanging off wall. No towel hooks in shower room nor bath mat so your towel had to go on floor while you showered. Door Lock loose making it difficult to get key back out the door. Extension reel around window to plug in tv. No hairdryer. But there was coffee making facilities and towels and bedlinen clean. Parking very difficult especially if town busy. Took me over an hour, in the rain.

Disgusting
Avoid Avoid Avoid!! Disgustingly dirty, found rock hard food behind cabinet, had obviously been there for a while!!black mould in bathroom, smelt strongly of smoke, absolutely NO service, not at any time did staff , never saw them , come to change sheets or towels, no condiments replaced, weeds growing into room from outside window, we had to buy cleaning products and condiments ourselves, i hadn't planned to do cleaning on my 1 & only holiday of the year, if they hadn't charged my bill immediately on booking, I would of turned around & walked out!!!

I found it to be very clean, pleasant the gentleman we dealt with was very polite . It was very close to the front. We found it to be very quiet our room was towards the back of the hotel so no noise from the street. Although we did not have breakfast the smell of bacon cooking was very pleasant to wake up to.
