No sleep but at least was indoors
Pros:

Room was ok had tea coffee facilities and ensuite bathroom

Cons:

TV couldn't pick up a signal so either the aerial or the TV was broken
The cups wasn't clean and the shower although worked was broken at the attachment to the wall
The bed wasnt comfortable
Noisy at 3am from other guests probably drunk after a night out I guess you can expect that in Blackpool though lol
