Comfortable and restful
Pros:

The bed was comfy and I slept soundly - the room was really nice and the shower was good

Cons:

I paid for parking for 2 nights had to park round the back down a ginnel with a gate
However in the morning as I leave early the gate was locked and I had to walk half a mile round houses to get my car out - when I came back at night the gate was still locked but I managed to park at the front of the hotel so next morning was really good - that was the only poor point

BEWARE!!! SERIOUS BEDBUG PROBLEM
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This place has a serious bedbug problem. I booked for 2 weeks while being in blackpool for work but only stayed 1 week as the bedbugs were unbearable. Bedbug bites take upto a week before you notice them, but are incredibly itchy and sore once they appear. Looking at the reviews (should have checked before I booked) bedbugs have been a problem here for months, yet they dont do anything about it. It may be cheap but seriously not worth it when you are itching for days if not weeks after staying there. Disgusting.

THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. AVOID!
Pros:

Only location

Cons:

Upon arrival, the guy was 15 minutes late when we were there for check in at 3. We had planned to stay two nights. Checked in and saw the room. It was diabolical. Honestly looked like it had never been cleaned in its life. The bed sheets were filthy and stained. Walls cracked. Strange lay out. TV's that felt like they wouldn't even work in the 1950's. But we thought, hey we're here now let's make the most of it. Famous last words. Now I've stayed in some pretty bad places before but nothing compared to this establishment. Shower was filthy and barely functional. Toilet had so many issues and at one point just decided to run water and not flush from that point forward. Then the night time came along. Now a little fact about this place is there's a bar down stairs which seems super practical for holiday goers right? Not when the drunks have free access to enter the hotel bit. People coming upstairs, slamming on doors. We were chilling in my friends room when someone very aggressively was slamming on the doors asking for a woman named Bianca. Not one of us was called Bianca. This arguing lasted until 2 in the morning keeping us up. Clearly the owner was apart of this drunken aggression with phrase like "I literally have access to your room open up now" Being screamed from down the hallway. Now after arrival and being deeply disappointed we read reviews and a lot mention a drunken owner. So we assume he was in on it. No joke, police were called (not by us) after hearing a child scream cry "someone help me". The beds were so dirty it made my skin feel like it was crawling. After these events that made us feel unsafe and filthy we thought it's only one more night. The breaking point? I went to wash my hands in the sink randomly placed in the middle of the room, i kid you not the sink was jammed with rubbish, cigarette butts and possibly the most disgusting part, a used condom. We were so disgusted just noped out of...
