For the price we paid for this hotel we had an excellent stay, we had two rooms adjoined by a bathroom giving us some privacy from the kids, everything we needed was available. When we asked the manager for four extra pillows it was no problem, parking was available at an extra cost, the hosts were lovely and couldn’t have done anything more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be returning in the future.

Fab wee hotel

Owner went above and beyond, me and my sister booked a twin room which happened to be on the 2nd floor, he noticed my sister wasnt as mobile and offered us a twin room on the ground floor, which was a massive help as she was able to walk further and out longer, we also had use of a microwave which again was no hassle, quite central to all amenities in Blackpool.

Short Trip to Blackpool

Welcomed upon arrival, room on top floor and exactly as described, twin room, clean, tidy and perfect for my needs. Bathroom was clean, sheets were freshly laundered, had read some bad reviews but for a very cheap price I was provided with exactly what I needed, basic, clean accommodation. Parking was available nearby on roadside, beware, car park prices are exorbitant for overnight parking!

Typical Blackpool hotel

This is a typical Blackpool hotel. They give you what you need, but there isn’t any ‘frills’. The room was clean and everything worked but needed updating. We had a comfortable stay. We paid for it with Tesco Clubcard vouchers which was good as I think it was expensive at £70 per night.

Warning!!!!! Stay here at your own risk!!!! Its worse then a homeless shelter, the manager pretends that he can't speak English so you cannot complain he was also knocking on my door late at night asking to enter my room I told him my little girl was sleeping and he was not coming in my room.

Check-in was okay owner was friendly but we never saw anybody again after that, even on checkout. As soon as we entered our room, there was a very strong smell of Febreze or something equivalent and when I checked the bed as it was all creased and bobbly, the pillowcases felt damp. I’m not convinced the bedding was washed, just sprayed. There were hairs under the pillowcases and the bedding had blood stains. The chair in the room was stained. Plenty of cupboard and drawer space, the bathroom wasn’t too bad, hot shower. Overall the room just felt dirty. There was grime on the light switches, around the sockets, the skirting board. It wasn’t a very nice stay.
