Disliked: Cleanliness
Very grand and well maintained public areas. Usually have a nice stay here and have been a number of times. Bit underwhelmed this time. Given room facing nowhere other than a brick wall, bed rock hard, had to fold the duvet and sleep on one half of that, and mold evident in the bathroom. Entering or leaving hotel and you run the gauntlet of the chain smokers club hanging around the front door. Not quite sure this adds to the ambience in a positive way. Notwithstanding this, staff as ever lovely, and it is a grand, albeit fading, building in Blackpool, where to be fair, hotels are not really known for their luxury. Would i go back.. yeah i probably would, but certainly not my best trip and stay here.

The hotel is a very grand affair, but is in need of decorating throughout. The room was clean, but attention to detail could be better, there was a good layer of dust on the shaver socket in the bathroom. The breakfast was lovely and the dining room staff were also lovely, which made our stay!
