Last Min Weekend Blackpool Solo Stay
Pros:

Location wise was exactly where i wanted + Check In Time Slot + Decent Newish Ensuite. But Thats Literally All Thats Good To Say!

Cons:

TV Wasnt Working (told staff nothing done!) Cold Drafty Noisey Window That Wouldnt Close Properly + No radiator/heating so was very cold. Hard Uncomfy Tired Old Single Bed With No Headboard (just worn away wallpaper!!) Paper thin Walls Had Next Doors TV blasting through the wall All Night + Staff Let Other Guests Be As Noisey As They Want Slamming Doors/Shouting Etc (Hen/Birthday Party + Next Door As Mentioned) Needless to say Not Happy One Bit As I mentioned All This To The Lad Takeing The bookings Etc in 1 ear + Out the other!! I stayed in the single bed Ensuite room (NO PICS ON SITE) ill add some on review so you no in advance what your getting as dont expect anything fixed or helped once your there and they have your money. Put me off staying again which is unforunate.
