Pros:

Stayed for 10 nights. I run a hotel in scotland, so know all about what works. My trip is its cheaper to stay in blackpool and commute to manchester. My room was very nice, cleanly decorated, bed was comfy. The hotel was very quiet. I really enjoyed my sray and after staying in b and bs in blackpool, possibly 20 or more in over 3 years. I have to say this has probably been my best of them all, and i will definatley return

Had a great stay, is a basic hotel but perfect for what we wanted in our holiday! Thank you :)
Pros:

The hotel was fine nothing spectacular but worth the money! It is situated a street away from the main street in blackpool so 5* just for that alone! I didnt want anything fancy i have two kids so we just need somewhere safe to stay and relax when needed :) this was perfect for just that. We were upgraded when arrived so was delighted with that! It was myself and two kids so we were given a room with 3 beds instead of two :) which meant i did’nt need to share with one of my kids all week :) staff were friendly and were happy to help when we needed :) 5* for the staff :) overall would go back to stay there again :)

Cons:

Would be nice to have a cooked breakfast, but they dont do that here, which obviously i knew about before i booked it, so its no fault of thiers at all. Maybe would be good to leave an extra bin bag in the room for people staying, other than that we were happy with everything :)

Never again !
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Lack of facilities, being made to wait to check in as no one mans the property, so hot and no ventilation or fans provided, stink of shit throughout the property due to toilets backing up and not being sorted, being woke up by the manager screaming at the top of her voice arguing with resident in the early hours of the morning with no apologies, having no other place to sit other than hot rooms, no area outside to sit and cool other than the steps into the property, having to sleep on the floor on a blanket I brought myself due to the bed being soft and full of springs and lots of bugs biting you all the time in the room. Would not recommend or return !

Pros:

I hate giving bad reviews. 😞.

Cons:

I got woken up one morning to fire alarms going off. Then an electrical problems that lasted all day left and my plug wires exposed only for them to cover the exposed wires and plug with masking tape. Then gave me a kettle that smelt like someone had taken a dump in it. There was arguing and banging and shouting. I could hear the people nextdoor doing the deed.
The floor boards had collapsed in the room so the bedside table was tilted. damp running down the wall next to the window. Quilt covers in stains. I don't wanna think about what the stains were.
This place need a whole renovation.
And staff are not there to let you in you will have to wait around 15 mins after arrival.
