Trying

Room was clean and tidy. We found water in shower had be left on hot which was scorching to the skin, leaving it tender for a few hours after. We were near a fire door which at about 3.30 on both days when went back gor rest, slammed numerous times. Second day shook room and went on for about 20 minutes. Later noticed frame to fire door was broken and fire door no longer able to be closed

Avoid at all costs. Room allocated was smelly, mouldy with a leaking roof. Got bitten: only in the room for 3 minutes and promptly left. Something out of a horror movie.

We arrived to check in at 3 as planned, sent to a room, on top floor, there was work being carried out in all rooms in this level, the staff clearly weren’t aware of where there were works taken place. Moved to the other side of the hotel, also on the top floor. Lift out of order but only signage on second level, so could’ve stood waiting like a lemon. In the room, the toilet seat absolutely disgusting, I’m assuming stains from not being maintained properly, the chair in the room covered in stains. Beds. Supposed to have wheels, 1 side of the bed had a wheel, the other completely buckled. This morning after some movement in the hotel room I stumbled across a cigarette end, non smokers here so clearly not been cleaned properly prior to our visit. Bathroom, no lock on door. No working light. Games room. Pool table stained, fire doors wedged open with chairs, pool cue’s no chalk or tips on end of cue. General area around was very rundown and grubby. Woken this morning at 4:40 to a male screaming how he was ‘going to do you in’ for a number of minutes followed by banging. We didn’t pay a lot for this room, but in all seriousness I have come home for a detoll bath. Pay a little extra for a nicer hotel along nearer pleasure beach.

Careful Expedia guests! The pool is only free for guests who booked directly with them. You'll have to pay an extra 5 pounds per person per hour if you want to use it! Crazy - didn't expect that! That should definitely be stated when you are booking. Shouldn't show a photo of a pool and later tell you that you have to pay extra to use it!!!!!! Location is pretty nice, as we were able to walk to the Blackpool tower from there, and that was well worth it. Nice walk along the water. The break-fast was also very decent. We didn't have any running water for an hour or so... problem with the plumbing when they were renovating a room. Kind of a pain, as I was just about to have a shower, but there wasn't any water... room was very basic and we had a lovely alley view of garbage and dirt... very gross.. Not sure that I would ever stay there again.

Two night stay in family room

A mostly pleasant stay—comfortable bed, with clean bedding extra pillows on request very spacious room, friendly staff also very helpful , warm private pool £5 an hour was lovely, and very tasty breakfast. But, below-par cleanliness, of room in general , view from window of a yard full of old beds and mattresses and a persistent drain odour were drawbacks.

Stayed in room 115 and was described as cosy which it was and comfortable and clean. Second night was noisy from the TV and loud talking from the room below. Breakfast was excellent and included and a good price for two night stay. Car parking at the front of hotel in good location. Would stay again.

Nice hotel, perfect for what we needed. Comfortable beds, decent breakfasts and amenities in the room. Pool was fantastic. Shame the games room was out of order but looked like it would have been fun for the little one. Tram stop right across the road for access into the centre and a decent car park that is cheap if paid through the hotel itself. We had a lovely stay as a family of 4.

I chose this property primarily because the price was significantly lower than others for the same time frame, which initially seemed like a good deal. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not meet expectations. Upon arrival, we were allocated a room that was not sea-facing and in very poor condition. It was dirty, uncomfortable, and generally had a bad atmosphere. The shower was damaged and not functioning properly, and there were several other maintenance issues. I raised a strong complaint to the staff and the manager, who were not particularly friendly or helpful. After several attempts and some insistence, they eventually agreed to change our room. The second room, which had a sea view, was much better and highlighted the inconsistency between the rooms. It felt like a completely different property. However, this only further emphasized the poor quality of the first room and the lack of proper standards. Other negative aspects included: Staff were generally unfriendly and unhelpful. The lift was not working. Common areas and facilities were not clean or well-maintained. The game room was completely non-functional. The swimming pool was mediocre and required booking and an additional fee, despite the initial booking stating that pool use was free for guests. The sauna was out of service during our stay. Because of these issues, I cannot recommend this property. If you still consider staying here, I strongly suggest asking to inspect the room before confirmi
