The hotel was ideally situated and the staff were wonderful, they were extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately everywhere in Blackpool is very tired & dilapidated and the hotel was no exception.

Very much in need of an update, a bit of paint and some curtains would help. But the owner was friendly, room was clean and beds were comfy. Good for a sleeping base in the centre of Blackpool, only a couple of minutes walk to the main attractions, though that did mean there was passerby noise it was to be expected due to location.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The room wasn't bad it was clean, wallpaper peeling off ,no complimentary tea coffee sugar, no toilet roll had to wait. Couldn't shut window so it was cold, room was freezing, really stiff window, wasn't really welcoming, it seemed upon arrival there was confusion with me stating I had a reservation then the manager came and didn't explicitly say to follow him so we just went like lost dogs.

the place seems badly run down and being left to ruin. some bleach in the bathroom and a lick of paint on the place wouldn’t go amiss. My room smelled like a Chinese takeaway and I wouldn’t stay here again even if offered it for free.

Value for money and excellent location

Great stay overall, host could not do enough to make us comfortable. Really understanding of our 3 little terrors and so kind with them. I would describe our rooms as more of a family suite - brilliant layout with a whole locked corridor of rooms to ourselves - there were 2 double bedrooms and a twin with a bathroom at the end, it’s a great set up for families! We almost had a hot water issue but was fixed before we checked in, I’m not sure if it had been fully repaired though as the shower really didn’t work properly - other than that it was good value for the price and is located about 100 yards away from Coral Island so location couldn’t be better!

Ok at best

It’s in a good place if you’re in Blackpool for a night out. Rooms were ok. Hotel is getting tired to be honest. For somewhere to get your head down it’s cheap enough.

Wow...what a hole.

Then only positive thing i can say is the location is perfect. But i wouldnt class it as a hotel, it looked like they had just moved in, bar area was a hoarders dream. The room looked like it was quickly thrown together. Wall paper and curtains hanging off. We only used as somewhere to get some sleep otherwise I'd of asked for money back and stayed somewhere else

DISAPPOINTING

Deception ant, smelled bad, cleanliness 0 heat 0, in the pictures it said you have somewhere to eat but apparently it's not true, dirty walls, broken wet ceiling, broken curtain, dirt, dust... I don't recommend it. Arrived there at 4 o'clock I left immediately sorry for you but not recommended, they as people are kind but what it contains is "hotel no)!! I want to upload pictures but he doesn't let me, he doesn't let me....
