Pros:

.

Cons:

I stayed in room 108.
It needed a hoover, also could have done with a wipe down as there were *crumbs* (?) on the desk.

I didn't use the shower as I felt I would be more dirty afterwards. It had questionable stains all over. After watching lots of murder docs, I didn't fancy my chances of not potentially ruining the evidence of a crime.

The toilet was leaking, and I imagine the toilet above me was too due to the many brown stains on the ceilings in the corridor.
I didn't want to touch anything.
The only reason I was able to sleep was due to the abundance of alcohol in Blackpool.

Viva Elvis weekend Bulldog promotions.
Pros:

Close to viva showroom. Breakfast included. 24hr desk service.

Cons:

Would be nice for B.fast to go on until 9.30am or 10am at weekends instead of 9am
(B.fast is continental buffet only, no full english or hot cooked food so just needs tidying away later)
