A quick, cheap getaway to Blackpool - enjoyed the stay despite the bathroom issues.
Pros:

All staff were accomodating and friendly. Quick to resolve any issues and assist as needed.
Great location for a quiet trip to Blackpool but easy to access the centre using public transport.
The breakfast was fairly priced.

Cons:

We had no hot water in our room at all.
The bathroom wasn’t clean- there was faeces smeared on the wall and floor.
The blinds were missing a strip and no curtains so let in light very early.

Not family friendly
Pros:

The meal on Saturday night was really tasty

Cons:

Our room was classed as a family room It wasn't very well cleaned, dirt on sea view window, marks on long mirror, orange stain on the floor by bed and dirty tea cups. Multiple floor boards were broken, can tell when you walk over them.

There was switches by the beds which didnt work. Multiple lights on the ceiling but you couldn't just turn one of. All powdered my one switch.

Hotel offered a ironing room but the iron didn't work.

One of the windows in room didnt lock, no dead bolt on door. You could turn the lock but when you pull the handle down the lock didnt work.
My 1 year old could open the door.
We had to put pram in front of the door to make sure the kids couldn't get to the handle.
The shower didnt work.

When the room was meant to be refreshed it wasnt done. When we requested it to be done we was offer just towels. The lady didnt want to change the sheets or to up toliet paper.

The member of bar staff on the sunday night didnt know what a lager shandy was or when we explain how to make it. She still made it incorrectly. When we explained it wasnt made correctly, she just looked at us and didnt do anything to fix the drink. We had to inform the staff member where items was eg, she didn't know where the hotel kept their moster energy.

When we prepaid our meal, but Saturday night the member of staff put the payment on the incorrect room. Then we was asked to repay again when we was checking out by a very rude staff member who was too busy on her phone to talk to us properly. We had kept all the receipt to proof payment.

The hotel is not suitable for family, entertainment which was really good are not suitable for children, food is just something and chips for children no vegetables and do not offer much choice.
