Happy Customer

Hotel was great and perfect for what we needed as a family of three. The staff where helpfull and polite with excellent customer service. The room was clean and well maintained, and just the right size for us. The hotel is perfectly located, with the Pleasure Beach just round the corner, and a tram station two minutes walk away. The breackfast was good quality and tasted fantastic, the hashbrown bites where a hit with all of us. I would highly recomend this hotel to anyone.

Family Room? Check available Facilities, Check in

I paid Extra for the Family room facility for our 7 Year Old. Once we got to the room there were no accessible childrens channels available on the TV's, though there were 'Adult' channels listed???. Also the Playstation instructions were not clear on the sticker above the machine. We were not told at check in that we needed to Hire games/DVD's at check in. When we obtained a game after complaining, it did not load, at this point we gave up. Our child ended up staying in the big bed with us as he could not fall asleep to the TV, negating the additional cost for the facility. I have stayed at the big blue previously and these Services need seriously updating now. Dissapointed.

Stayed 2 nights, wasn’t impressed that they charge £20 per night for car parking when it’s there own car park, room was lovely but the bed was rock hard, we both struggled to sleep. Unfortunately it’s the last time we will stay there.

Overnight stay for a concert

We stayed overnight as we were going to a concert. We had a family room, although a great idea my teenager son was too tall for the bunk bed. They provided a camp bed for him. It was a decent size room, comfy bed and a decent shower!

Needs improvements

Could potentially be very decent if they could bring breakfast prices down from £18pp. Asked for half hour late check out but got told to pay £15. Asked for 30min late check out at Hampton by Hilton down the road and they gave me 1 hour complimentary(nice surprise). These little things make big difference. Building flooring creaks alot . If these things could be looked at this hotel has the potential to be number 1 in blackpool.

The hofel is beautiful. Situated on the sea front with some awesome views. The room was absolutely spotless and lovely and warm. The complimentary wine was a very nice touch. The only downside for me, personally, was the mattress was very hard and unforgiving but if you like a firm bed you'll love these. All in all a wonderful experience and would absolutely stay again.
