Weekend away
Pros:

I have stayed here a few years ago and it was really lovely and clean. I was surprised how much it has changed. We were given a message for check in with the keypad number we didn't actually see anybody. In fact for the whole stay we saw nobody. The room was number 10. The shower drain was blocked so it drained very slow so you had to stand in ankle high water. The black mould in the room was really bad it was everywhere. My chest has been bad since I got home. This really does need working on as it's unhealthy.

Pros:

Advertised as having a mini bar but there wasn''t one, also was told would have a free upgrade but no upgrade, tried to call reception and was told they knew nothing of a free upgrade, also said there is no mini bar as there is no staff on site. There was also no breakfast on site despite been advertised as a bed and breakfast!!

This is false advertisement and not good service and I plan on seeking a refund as I am an unhappy customer.

Dirty!!
Pros:

Honestly this is a hotel in need of serious care and attention. I’ve never ever left a bad review but feel that this hotel needs a honest review. Please do not be fooled into following the previous 10/10s.
Entrance was filthy and has a horrendous smell. Our room didn’t smell though!
The room was seriously dirty, with stains on the sides, tea spoon covered in old coffee (clearly used and not changed for a clean one), shower tray and tiles with mould and yellow staining, NO TOWELS, and to top it off a view of a thousand cigarette butts from the adjoining building. Oh and we had abuse from this building at 1 AM.
Honestly, this hotel need a serious clean. I would have asked for towels and told the hotelier that my room wasn’t clean but they were not present either when we arrived or when we left.
I’ve always folllowed the reviews on Hotels.com but this time I was caught out with what seemed to be good reviews.

To the hotelier, I think this hotel might have been good a few years ago but you need to clean it and be present when people are staying 🤔.

Also, the hotel pictures are misleading and the bar etc was all locked behind a broken glass door.

Pros:

Good clean room,comfortable bed,efficient shower in ensuite,poor view out from room 2,but vertical blinds and curtains.
Just be aware price includes continental breakfast,not english breakfast which is an additional £7.95.Perhaps they do not include english breakfastto make pricing seem better.Saying that had full english on one morning which was excellent {food was really hot but served on a cold plate.

A lovely stay at the Newholme in Blackpool
Pros:

Twin room pleasant decor no view but not an issue very comfortable bed good quality linen ensuit good shower nice little touches in bathroom shaving kits shower caps toothbrush tooth paste nice fluffy towels.
Plenty of storage hairdryer big mirror flat screen TV a little small but adequate for room size. Excellent selection on the hospitality tray nice size mugs with Yorkshire tea, a fan was also present which was a must for me and my hot flushes my only criticism was a small dish of retro sweeties had been supplied and due to the heat they had started to melt and had made a gooey mess in the dish everything else was just great can't comment on breakfast as we don't do breakfast but had a lovely stay.

Amazing place. Couldn’t fault it. You need to get to know the owners. 2 amazing people. They will look after you regardless. And the neighbours are just as amazing. Ask for Jeanette 😂
