It was clean and comfortable.Bar and restaurant next door.Very quiet and staff very attentive.

I was happy that I was allowed to check in 1 hour early. Unfortunately that is where the positives end, the villa express feels like a very tired hotel. Broken fixtures and fittings, dead flies in the light fittings and no soap in either of the 2 dispensers in the en-suite. cleanliness was an issue especially in the bathroom, I will not be returning

Stayed there a few times over the years . Good location for an over night stop etc. Clean and tidy over all. Friendly staff. It went down a bit a few years ago but seems to have been spruced up recently. Change of ownership? (The tv in the room had seen better days with occasional unresponsive controls. Wi-fi did not load up.)

The property rated highly for cleanliness. However I found the property to be quite run down, not as clean as I’d have expected and overall poor in presentation- threadbare is how I’d describe it. An example is that the TV remote to a very small TV did not work and was sticky. I went to get new AA batteries from reception but they had only oneAAA battery. They didn’t offer to obtain any more. It was not what I expected from the reviews and how it was presented.

Appears to be a former Premier Inn site. Large free parking area & located close to a main route to Blackpool & surrounding area. Rooms were of a reasonable standard, with all the usual facilities in a working condition, but needs a refurbishment. Bed firm, but comfortable, room clean, but carpet in need of a deep clean. No inhouse food other than a snack machine, but next to a "Smokehouse" restaurant, which was excellent. Overall of an acceptable standard for cost & convenient as an overnight stay.

Overnight stay to visit family. Stayed here many times and always received good service. Clean rooms and friendly receptionist.

This hotel is ideal if you are staying and your fur baby needs to go with you, we had no-one to look after our baby. Not many hotels take in dogs so to find this one which was 20 mins away from the hospital for my operation. This hotel is not the cleanest of hotels but for one night and with your dog is fantastic.

Although it was easy to park, you definitely needed a car to travel into Preston for our planned venue, cost of taxi &30.00 each way. All staff were very friendly, polite & helpful, room spacious & spotless. Would return, even though due to family foreseen circumstances we only stayed for one night, although we had paid for two
