We had to ring the door bell when we arrived and wait for someone to answer. A lady answered (didnt give her name, but im guessing she was one half of the owners) told us she had to lock the bar thats why it took her a while. This made me feel a little awkward. She then followed a guest outside and asked him to make sure the door stays closed, we was then drilled (a little) about how its for our and the other guests safety.
We was shown the down stairs area, told the bar closes at 10pm!! There was also a games room opposite and the breakfast room across. We was then directed to our room which was lovely and exactly what i had booked. Could not fault it. Fast forward a few hours after a lovely meal and family time in the local arcades, we chose to return to the hotel and have a few drinks while playing pool with our 9 year old son. We have stayed in Blackpool many times and like to pick a hotel with a bar/games room so we can safely enjoy the evening with our son. As we got back the bar was already locked up. Quite disappointing, but we had a few drinks in our room so brought them down to play pool. We was not loud or unruly, and our 9 year old is very well behaved. A man arrived at the door and apologised, telling us that he had to lock the games room (did not introduce himself but he must have been the other half of the owners) and that he wanted to go to bed. I have never felt so frustrated. There was no other area for us to relaxin, so felt like we had been sent to bed.
