Pros:

The location was great, and we had private bath, an electric fan and a kettle

Cons:

No hotel parking , you had to walk to a private parking where you had to pay for your entire stay. This is super nasty and unhospitable.

I expected better but it wasn’t nice in any way
Pros:

Location is the only plus point ..

Cons:

I’ve stayed in Blackpool many times I wasn’t impressed with this hotel at all .. I wasn’t expecting the Ritz but the room was quite awful it smelt of damp , wall paper was coming off the wall and in places they painted a grey colour to probably hide where damp had been .. the back windows were covered in bird muck and I mean covered and u could smell it .. that back part of the hotel is full of birds … they even had a £50 deposit in case u cause damage but I think I should of had that money given me .. I actually imagined them ripping me off over this but that hasn’t happened .. this hotel should not have the name Royal in it .. we also got woken up with firearms keep going off from 8am when they were cooking breakfasts . I wouldn’t stay here again that’s for sure
