Wonderful staff, very polite, helpful, and they have a great sense of humour. We borrowed the Iron and Iron board from them for free which was fantastic. Great place to stay, will save in my favourites for Blackpool.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I did not stay at the hotel. On entering the room allocated to me I was upset about the condition of the room. The wallpaper was peeling from the walls, the walls had damp patches and smelt terrible. I left the hotel and spent over an hour looking for alternative accomodation for the weekend. The hotel is terrible and requires modernisation.

Fri night stay

Great value for money. Paid more for poorer hotels in the area. I booked OakLea based on the reviews and it was exactly as reviewed. Very friendly people which was nice, room was clean, warm, comfortable would definitely stay again. Didn’t have food there as we had made plans elsewhere.

Wifi did not work, metal stuff left from maintenance, bed was not made, toilet was cleaned properly (pee on a floor and poop stains in toilet). Talked with reception and they just shrugged it off. Her words 'im only receptionist i cant help you'. Room smelled like fresh paint and it gave me a massive headache. Left early and slept only for like 3h. Cud not sleep in that room, was nothing to breathe even window was open, other window was bolted so cud not open. Wifi did not work as well and all that was told to reception but nothing. Did not even asked if i want refund or room change.

This was my 2nd time at Oak Lea. Staff are lovely and helpful, my room was a good size, comfy bed again. The room had a Desk and chair in the room which was great. Bathroom again fairly big and lovely shower. No complaints from me and will happily stay again on future visits for work in Blackpool. I was in one of the upper floors accessible via the lift
