DON’T WASTE MONEY,DON’T BOOK HERE!!!!!!
Our stay should have ended on Friday 18th October. We have had to check out this morning for our safety. The hotel is dirty,with stains all along the corridor in level 1,the room wasn’t much better but the bed sheets were clean so after much deliberation between our family on Sunday when we checked in,we decided to stay. Dirty skirting boards that didn’t look like they’d ever been wiped clean, mould in the shower,shower head was filthy. The whole room,actually the whole hotel was in desperate need of a proper, deep clean.The fire alarm went off twice on Wednesday evening, which I know is nobody’s fault but the procedure which followed was a joke. I went to reception to find out what was going on where & we needed to go,and the man on reception was just stood there. He told me he’d rung the fire brigade. If he’d rung the fire brigade because he couldn’t be sure if there was a fire or not, why wasn’t the hotel evacuated until the fire brigade could tell us there was no fire and the building was safe? The security in the building leaves lots to be desired. The fire door at the end of the first floor last night was wedged open, not safe!! The door to get into the first floor accommodation does not have a working key entrance which is another safety concern. Anybody could walk in the hotel at any time and gain access to the corridors. An absolutely appalling stay in a disgusting hotel that clearly didn’t care for the safety of it’s guests

Basic accommodation with good location
Room basic but adequate for short trip where you only need the room for sleeping. Could have been a bit cleaner especially in the bathroom. Big problem with key cards for the room(s) we had; repeatedly not working and had to go to reception to get re-programmed. Breakfast expensive for what you get; continental £10 each whereas you can get a full breakfast in other establishments nearby for less. Location good for promenade with tram stop just across the road. Nice, friendly staff.

Feels a bit dodgy at the entrance but it’s a really convenient location. Not the most clean or modern but we only slept there so was absolutely fine. Wouldn’t stay more than a night.

The location was perfect, easy walking distance to all amenities and attractions. The seaview was amazing. The room didnt have an iron for pressing my clothes, which I found to be unusual, and resulted in myself having to buy new clothes.

We were given the wrong room type (an accessibility room) but it was satisfactory except for the shower, which was a wet room. Not worth making a fuss about. Front desk staff were very accommodating. Good location and good value for money. Don't let the exterior fool you, it is being upgraded.

Convenient site, close to the Tower and across from North Pier. It was noisy at night as across from a nightclub. Room was adequate for a one night stay although bed was like a brick. I had booked a sea view and had hoped for a view of the prom but it was limited view at the side.

Budget hotel. Opposite the North Pier. Noise from a club until 2 am. Ok for a short stay. Our room smelt of cigarettes even though there is a no smoking policy.

In terms of location this is perfect for either a day or night out in Blackpool and right on the front. The staff were all lovely and attentive but the hotel, especially our room is quite tired and definitely in need of some TLC but we didn’t go with high expectations, the location does make up for this though and I would stay again for the convenience of this but there are better hotels slightly further out.
