5/10 stay and very disappointed.
Pros:

Location was good. Entertainment was very good - best we’ve ever had in Blackpool. Reception staff were lovely and very helpful. Great parking facilities. Thank you!

Cons:

Very very tired and worn fittings. Bathroom really small despite having a bath. Food was less than ok. Small tv in room, no change of towels or room service on a Saturday so if you’re only there the weekend you’ll have to ask for clean towels. Cheap sausages at breakfast time, no fresh fruit available, limited healthy options. Staff were ok, except a young man who was polite and switched on. Others were slow to clear plates. Toasters either didn’t cook the toast enough or burnt it!! Tables squashed together and far too close to others.
Good job we didn’t mind being so squashed! We read the reviews - we visit Blackpool a lot and this is the most tired property we’ve stayed in. Such a shame as location and entertainment are fab!

Food , staff , entertainment, FIRST CLASS.
Pros:

The food was excellent, the choice of food was extremely well laid out, and very appetising.
At dinner, IF, you didn't fancy anything on the menu, then there was an alternative buffet choice.

Cons:

Th location was a bit far from the centre of town, although having stayed there twice in the past two years, I knew what to expect.

Great location
Pros:

Friendly staff, will do anything for you and good food.
Excellent location with tram stop across the road. Right next to South pier.

Cons:

A lot of stairs up and down, twists and turns to get to our room. Was like a maze.
The evening entertainment was ok, nothing special.
Seemed like this hotel caterers for the older retired generation as we are in our 40s and felt out of place at times.
Rooms could do with updating.

We loved the food, there was so much choice and plenty of it, great value for money
Pros:

The food was fantastic, all the waiting on staff and receptionist where really friendly and Terry Cotter was sooo funny without being to crude

Cons:

The rooms where hard to find and even harder to find out way back down to reception, (maybe signs saying, “this way to reception” might help lol 😂 going through the dark entertainment room to get to the lift was a little scary too and the noise from the entertainment room was very loud in our bedroom above up until 1.00 am
