Disgusting, dirty, filthy, and smelly.
Pros:

The hotel was disgusting it was very dated our room was very bad, it had mould around the window it was broken you couldn't open it ,the wall had blood stains on it and the shower room had mould on the tiles and mould on the shower hose. No heating, no television the kettle was dirty the carpet was dirty and sticky. The floor in the bathroom was bouncing up and up like a trampoline and the smell was horrible it smelt like drains were blocked through the hotel. The manager of the hotel couldn't speak much English plus he wasn't interested in what I was saying. We decided after 30 minutes with beening in the room to leave the hotel and drive home and get a shower because we felt dirty beening in there and finally myself my partner and our son suffer from asthma which started to effect our breathing.

Cons:

Closing down the hotel and not giving the manager a license to run a hotel no duty of care towards the customers. Also the photos on booking.com was completely different to the room we stayed in he has misleading customers and conning them.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I booked this hotel for me and my family to have our vacation but on getting to the hotel it was dirty and stinky with a stained toilet. The staff said the hotel is under renovation but yet they place it out for people to come stay.
My family was traumatised especially my pregnant wife that we could not take pictures , we have to run out with luggage as I needed to start looking for another hotel for them and when I saw one I checked their room and toilet before making a payment.
I think many hotels in Blackpool need to be checked mate. A hotel should be healthy, safe and habitable but for this hotel it was zero upon zero.

Pros:

Wasn't busy

Cons:

Absolutely vile hotel , say they are renovating, but I dont see why tou would open in such a state.... it absolutely stunk ! The big open windows had no curtains so the room was open to everything. Was mouldy in the room , it was vile... hopefully a renovation helps more.
Plus we was supposed to have breakfast, was told to go downstairs at 9 , he would take orders for quarter past , we waited till half past , still nobody around. So we just left.

Awful experience
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

No curtain, dirty, toilet didn’t flush room and hotel stunk didn’t chance having breakfast.
Staff unwilling to help had to contact booking.com for help it was that bad.
We did contact the host before contacting booking.com and leaving review to give them a chance to rectify the problems but they were unwilling to help.
