Pros:

Location was fabulous. Staff were great. Dining room and bar area were nice, breakfast was good and had plenty selection.

Cons:

Rest of the hotel is really dated, worn carpets and flooring. Mattress wasn't great and only 1 hard wooden chair in a double room. Back was about broken by the end of a 4 night stay, which is a shame because staff are lovely and so is ground floor until you reach the stairs. If upgraded to match the downstairs then this would be a cracking wee place.

Great location, comfortable room, just a couple of things could do with adding.
Pros:

The was clean, fresh and warm with a comfortable bed. The location is Central and close to the Town.

Cons:

The dressing table has seen better days and very wobbly, could do with replacing and also a mirror above it is needed. Could do with bedside tables, as there is plenty of space for them.
This info is constructive criticism as it didn't spoil our stay, just info for the owners.

Pros:

3 members of staff were nice & polite

Cons:

1 staff member extremely rude to another guest in front of others, another finding it acceptable to swear in the kitchen whilst guests & children present having breakfast.
Room awful. Bedding seemed clean but the room itself was dirty, dated and smelled.
The corridors & stairs were dated & dirty.
Safety concerns.
Would definitely not stay again

Poor rooms but location and price is good.
Pros:

Location to town centre is great, room size was good, staff were friendly.

Cons:

family rooms were placed on very top floor which is difficult with kids and luggage. Window wouldn't shut and was very noisy all night with seaguls. Matrasses are very thin and uncomfortable, bathroom is not finished well and dirty, strong smell of paint and paint drips all over bedding/floors etc, street area was very run down.

Blackpool hotel
Pros:

The proximity to the secure multi storey car park and the Tower area was great.
Breakfast was good and the restaurant staff lovely, but they were running out of some items closer to the end of the service time.
We moved from our original room, and the 2nd one was much nicer, having been refurbished. The staff were helpful, listening to our concerns.

Cons:

The first room one of our party was given was very small, in need of decoration and hadn't been cleaned since some works had been undertaken, so we asked to move and the 2nd room was much nicer.
Both rooms in our group experienced noise during the night, which woke us all - by other groups coming in at 3am, banging doors, talking loudly etc.
