General

It was like staying in a mental asylum. People screaming and shouting through the night, police involved. Bedroom door having to be forced open by the owner using a crow bar to evict people.

Bar area absolutely filthy, the toilet in the bar area was disgusting!
No Karaoke on in the bar as advertised

Never again, complete chav central!

Pros:

Booked two double rooms for total of 4 guests.
We opted for the rooms without breakfast but upgraded on arrival with complementary breakfast.
Lovely welcome on arrival.
Room smallish but very clean and immaculate towels and bedding. Room was lovely and warm.
It had everything we needed and much exceeded expectations for a budget hotel.
Bed very comfortable.
Breakfast was lovely and a perfect start to the day.
I do have other trips to Blackpool planned and would be happy to return.

Cons:

Not a complaint but entrance hall and stairways very tired but not the end of the world.

Terrible
Pros:

Great location.

Cons:

Parking was a nightmare. Hotel is rundown, dirty and noisy. On our first night we had a staff member making a phone call rather loudly outside our room after midnight discussing a leak into another room from above saying it was potentially from the shower. Then a couple were arguing for hours, shouting, crying banging doors coming in and out of a room.

Not a good review
Pros:

Location ok, hotel not very good. The photos of the rooms certainly did not look like anything in their add

Cons:

Hotel wasn't very clean. Room was tiny.1 small double bed. Which we had to climb our bottom off bed to go to bathroom, there was no hand towels only to bath towels, room was in need off refurbishment, dirty. Only a computer like desk stuck at bottom of bed which made it harder to get out as bed jammed against wall, mattress was uncomfortable, no drawers or any thing to put underwear etc; an alcove to hang your clothes, there was hot water for shower which was hard to enter as doors stuck near toilet, curtain one dragged across window..to top it all fighting shouting at 3 in morning which I understand residents were evicted.. Breakfast wasn't bad quite good, that's the only thing I can say about that..reception desk in bar dirty and dingy
