Pros:

The location was excellent, the building dated but elegant. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice. The bar staff and reception staff were warm and friendly.

Cons:

We booked a deluxe room, which included 2 dressing gowns which were OK unfortunately they did not come with belts, a bit strange, I informed reception who acted quickly and got house keeping to bring 2 clean dressing gowns sadly no belts again.

If you're in Blackpool it's probably one of the better options - close enough to town but quiet
Pros:

It's a lovely "Grand Hotel". We parked 3 motorcycles in a single bay so were only charged for 1 space. The lobby is a very impressive space & the corridors continued this theme. We ate dinner in the bar & the burger was one of the best I've ever had!
The breakfast was also very good with plenty of choice & regularly topped up.
The location is great, looking directly across the rouad to the sea & not too close to the hubbub of the town.

Cons:

The room was dirty, mould in the fridge, all round the bath, bath matt was covered! The floor looked like it hadn’t been hoovered or cleaned for months!
If I didn’t have a tired little boy with me who needed sleep I would of left was very disappointed ☹️
Plus I did my car parking and now been sent letters saying I didn’t do it and have a parking fine!
The only good thing was we saw one cleaning lady in the hallway and she was lovely with us 🙂

Old glory
Pros:

I had a big room with old bathroom. No problem, sea view ( extra rate) was wonderful and made this stay really plesant. Old glory and very polite employees.

Cons:

Old windows had a draft when the wind blew harder. At the reception area were always two exits open which made it very unpleasant to stay there for a coffee.
Restaurant works with cheap ingredients, fish was good but I would never ever eat that with beans....
As it is a historic building I did not expect perfection... so it was good to have been there but I will not go a 2nd time .
