Disliked: Staff & service

Staff on reception need urgent retraining.

Reception at checkin very slow. Girl called me "luvvie" which I did not like. Tried to order a sandwich on room service but reception did not pick up so I had to go down again to order. Sandwich came (on white Mother's Pride bread, not very nice) with Scots waiter who procedded to tell me it was my fault that I had to go down to reception as I had not answered their phone call. He was quite rude and argumentative. TV did not work so I informed reception after breakfast, who promised to fix it. At lunchtime it was still not working so I had to go to reception AGAIN, who said the maintenance man had gone to the wrong room tghe first time. The TV was fixed at last. When checking out this morning I was again addressed as "darling" by reception staff, which I did not like. Overall the staff seemed completely untrained and ignorant of how to treat guests, overly familiar and inefficient. I will not stay here again. this is supposed to be the best hotel in Blackpool? Don't make me laugh.

Full of character

Full of character this massive seafront hotel is an experience. Room was on 3rd floor and at the back of the hotel. Room was spacious, shower not very good but water was hot. No way to control room temperature except with window either open or shut. Boiling hot first night and freezing cold second. Well situated - close enough to walk into town but out of chaos. Staff all very lovely. Breakfast was very good - pancake machine just temperamental.

Greeted by Gemma with a great big smile and a very pleasant attitude. She made you feel very welcome. The hotel was very quiet, clean and friendly. There’s a tram stop opposite. My only problem was that the bed was rock hard but that wouldn’t stop me staying there again. Can’t wait to come back again.

Great stay

Great trip staying in this Grand Hotel, all staff were friendly, entertainment was good, only downside was the fire alarm went off twice during our stay but that can’t be helped, if people don’t follow the instructions to keep the bathroom door closed when showering. Beds were comfortable although would have preferred a softer pillow (my preference). Tram stops just across the road from the Hotel so it’s a great location to be in.
