Room Quality
7.2
Rooms are described as comfy, but some wear ('shabby around the edges') and minor issues lower the score slightly.

Headline states 'Good value for money' and guests find costs reasonable, though some surcharges (e.g., £20 late check-out) are viewed as high.

Limited comments on food quality; breakfast management (asked not to all come down at once) is criticized and lowers this score slightly.
Overall Experience
6.8
Overall positive stay thanks to location and staff, but restrictions (lift, breakfast scheduling), early checkout time and some shabby areas reduce overall satisfaction.

Comfy room but with strange restrictions not seen at any other hotel.
Pros:

Perfect location for Lytham Festival and friendly staff.

Cons:

The ban on using the lift between midnight and 8am was strange - and probably goes against accessibility regulations for anyone unable to use the stairs. Asking guests to not all come down for breakfast at once is also a strange request, given that check-out time is set at a ridiculously early time of 10am (with the option of a later check-out time for an inexplicably high £20 surcharge).
