Disappointing but maybe not for me
Pros:

The staff where nice and welcoming, the outside is nice. Quite accommodating and location is great.

Cons:

Tiny bed, my partner and I struggled to fit. Room was insanely small and looked nothing like the pictures. Only two plug sockets on the other side of the room and no lamp or anything. Strange rules- such as no entering the hotel after 1am. So if you are thirsty or hungry after that, which most people coming back from a night out are, you are basically out of luck. The hotel was a bit dull downstairs, and a mess. They had a dance competition group staying or something, so it was a bit of a dump of hairpins and hair spray and stuff. Option for a late checkout at an extra cost, which is fine but pricey. If you have an issue, you can call reception but if it’s after hours you get charged. If we can’t come and go after 1am, you NEED either 24 staff downstairs or a way to get drinks. There was a vending machine but it got switch off after the time. I’d say an older couple may enjoy this hotel, but at the same time we had to go up like 3 floors to get to our room, so maybe not.

We can’t wait to come back! Thank you so much!
Pros:

The owners are absolutely lovely and can’t do enough to help you! Yes it’s basic but has everything you need for a stay in Blackpool.

Cons:

My only negative was the bed was a little squeaky but it didn’t ruin our stay in the slightest! We

Never again!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Smallest room. Said fans available for each room to hire during stay. Asked for fan said was all hired out yet in the morning could clearly see fan in storage room. Dirty bathroom. Large single bed, definitely not a double. Carpets old and worn on stairs. Blood splatters on bathroom tiles. Food is cheap products and undercooked bacon for expensive prices. £25 for 2 burgers.
Left hotel after one night and stayed at a proper hotel for the same price!

Would absolutely come back to stay again
Pros:

Rooms were modern and clean and the location was perfect - walking distance to every where we wanted to go.

Secure entrance to the hotel and secure parking was a bonus.

Cons:

The shower was tiny I’m a ladies size 12 and if I was any bigger I would not have fitted in it.
