Room substandard. Nothing like the pictures, as many other reviews state. Room had recently been redecorated apart from parts showing mould and repairs. Sliding door to the toilet allowed outsiders to see in, pipe work was extremely noisy when on, shower only had boiling water (no matter the setting), lift wasn't working and subpar breakfast. Complained about the shower at the reception but promised to do something about it 'once we have checked out. We do not recommend.

My room was soo bad. The paper was coming off the walls mould in the corners it is just old and run down. But you can’t knock the staff really friendly and polite and genuinely nice people. I guess most of the properties are like this and I’ve heard horrible stories about other places to stay in this area. So it’s the best of a bad bunch!

I'd struggle to recommend this place. The room was fine, location was alright but that's about it. We had screaming and shouting in the hallway all night, calls to reception went unanswered and nothing was done. I only booked because it was cheap so get what you pay for,

The exterior of the building is exceedingly shabby! Surely the success of your your business should be reflected on the outside? The interior has obviously seen some improvements. Had I see the exterior I would not have ventured inside

Overall a lovely setting however a few issues were in our room. There was no cold water in the sink and the blind in the bedroom was broke in parts. However the bed was comfy and the refreshments were good. An overall lovely stay at the setting . We will be more than happy to stay again when we return to Blackpool

No hot water, not a great experience

Honestly, the hotel is ok maybe 6/10 but that is not really my issue. Far be it for me to give a negative review normally however I stayed for 2 nights arrived on the Monday and left this morning. Checked in about 4pm and left my bags as I had to go out. I arrived back at 10pm and went for a shower, I had no hot water, ran my taps for a while and nothing, ended up having a cold shower (not ideal) and went to bed. Next morning there was no one on reception and I had to go out, so I thought I'll let them know on my return in the evening. When I went to reception I spoke to a lad to let him know I had no hot water in my room. At this point a woman appeared and he said "he has no hot water, what should I do?" to which she looked at me and said that they needed a part and the plumber would be here at 8am, this was about the time I was due to leave on the Wednesday morning. My biggest issue is they clearly knew when I checked in on the Monday, no one said a word, offered me any alternative, said sorry, not a word. When I raised the issue on the Tuesday evening again no apology, offer of a resolution what so ever. I feel like whilst the water may have been out of their control that they could have on several occasions let me know and simply chose not to. It was disappointing. The hotel was otherwise ok but nothing special. They have a small pool but it costs extra to use it, there is parking on the front, however again at extra cost.
