The only thing good was the bedding and towels were very clean and the small bed was comfortable. I’m sure this room should not be used as it has no facilities. Shower cold light in bathroom did not come on it just flashed on and off all the time. Sink was cracked no towel rail no light at the side of the bed. No chair in the room tv had lots of channels missing. We paid little money and got little in return. Definitely wouldn’t return

When we arrived at the property prior to arranging a ground floor room weeks before our arrival we were told that there was no rooms available and then was offered a room on the third floor . As I am a pensioner and disabled ,walk with sticks my wife has chronic heart disease we could not climb three flights of stairs with our luggage and then to be told the lift was out of order and that they had no idea when it would be fixed . So then they agreed to pay me my money back through expedia. but it was not very nice to be told this at 7pm at night and then we had to find somewhere else to stay. so we will definitely not be booking this hotel in the future very poor service and no help to two disabled people .

Telly did not work and delay at check in due to staff illness. Caught between other guests complaining which delayed my check-in Other than that it was good. Staff were friendly and room was basic but nice. Was worth the money

A place to get your head down for the night.

Upon arrival was greeted by the smell of weed, and what can only be described as damp washing. Check in was quite slow, People infront of us being told to leave a £50 deposit, even though I wasn't asked to,.The lifts dont work so if your on a high floor you might struggle, TV had 1 channel, Place looks lovely from the outside but dated. Our room was clean and tidy, but there was a smell of mould. Its Blackpool, if you're after a place to get your head down after a night out its fine .

Won't be returning

Booked a family room for 2 adults and 2 children (double with bunk beds). Room was damp smelling, and all our clothes were left damp to the touch. 1 small fan provided but inadequate.Door was very difficult to close and required full body weight and a bang to close it properly. Holes all remained from previous locks. There was a note up in reception to say TV ariels were being upgraded so the room TVs might not work. This was not communicated before our arrival. The toilet cystern was running constantly and the condensation from the toilet was flooding onto the floor. Extractor fan in bathroom did not work. Both were reported to reception during our stay. Fan still did not work and toilet was noisier than before. Breakfast was very disappointing. Continental breakfast with no meats as they hadn't been delivered, a small plate of very sweaty sliced cheese, a toaster and a couple of cereals. Pastries were tiny and fruits was dry oranges and a couple of apples. Coffee was the same instand sticks as in the room, no proper coffee. Certainly not worth what we paid for it. We spent less at a cafe round the corner for a full cooked breakfast for the 4 of us. Last but not least, at midnight on our last night the fire alarm went off. no staff around. A pipe had burst on one of the upper floors and water was pouring down through a light fitting. Fire alarm went off again 20 mins later, lots of people running up and down the hallway banging doors. Needless to say, no sleep that night
Bathroom door
Holes from previous locks. You could see right through to the hallway.
Door looked like it had been kicked in at some point.
Holes left in the floor
