Telly did not work and delay at check in due to staff illness. Caught between other guests complaining which delayed my check-in Other than that it was good. Staff were friendly and room was basic but nice. Was worth the money

A place to get your head down for the night.

Upon arrival was greeted by the smell of weed, and what can only be described as damp washing. Check in was quite slow, People infront of us being told to leave a £50 deposit, even though I wasn't asked to,.The lifts dont work so if your on a high floor you might struggle, TV had 1 channel, Place looks lovely from the outside but dated. Our room was clean and tidy, but there was a smell of mould. Its Blackpool, if you're after a place to get your head down after a night out its fine .

Won't be returning

Booked a family room for 2 adults and 2 children (double with bunk beds). Room was damp smelling, and all our clothes were left damp to the touch. 1 small fan provided but inadequate.Door was very difficult to close and required full body weight and a bang to close it properly. Holes all remained from previous locks. There was a note up in reception to say TV ariels were being upgraded so the room TVs might not work. This was not communicated before our arrival. The toilet cystern was running constantly and the condensation from the toilet was flooding onto the floor. Extractor fan in bathroom did not work. Both were reported to reception during our stay. Fan still did not work and toilet was noisier than before. Breakfast was very disappointing. Continental breakfast with no meats as they hadn't been delivered, a small plate of very sweaty sliced cheese, a toaster and a couple of cereals. Pastries were tiny and fruits was dry oranges and a couple of apples. Coffee was the same instand sticks as in the room, no proper coffee. Certainly not worth what we paid for it. We spent less at a cafe round the corner for a full cooked breakfast for the 4 of us. Last but not least, at midnight on our last night the fire alarm went off. no staff around. A pipe had burst on one of the upper floors and water was pouring down through a light fitting. Fire alarm went off again 20 mins later, lots of people running up and down the hallway banging doors. Needless to say, no sleep that night
Bathroom door
Holes from previous locks. You could see right through to the hallway.
Door looked like it had been kicked in at some point.
Holes left in the floor

The room hadn't been cleaned properly, food and dirty socks under one of the beds. Faulty electrics wouldn't stay here again and for the price I'd expect it to at least be clean. Only positive is that it's not even 10 minutes away frok coral island

Terrible

I don’t like leaving bad reviews. But the room was terrible not the room I booked in the photos . Went to speak to reception but got absolutely nowhere with her . I looked a room with window to floor two chairs and a table and got a tiny box room with the cupboard doors missing as room to small to open the doors . The room was not cleaned once in our 3 night stay . We never got any new towels put in the room or even the bin emptied . The window did not open the skirtings were covered in dirt and dust and mold all over the toilet and shower area . Nice and close Blackpool centre all the entertainment beach and bars
