Empty Thatchers cider bottles left in the wardrobe, which is still there now. Didn’t throw them out. No parking on hotel property so had to pay for street parking. Costing a small fortune. The surrounding areas are run down and derelict. A lot of buisnesses are run down or shut down. We had things to do in the area, we stayed for Blackpool pleasure beach but if we hadn’t booked that, there is VERY little to do. Someone attempted to get into the room, trying the door at 1am. Shoulder barging the doors. We left a day earlier than we should have.

Nice clean comfy room. Friendly staff. Shower was very poor sadly with no pressure and not very warm. You can hear full blown conversations outside the door. Attention to detail wouldn't go a miss in parts of the room aswell.

we stayed here for two nights in July . The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. We booked a room at the front of the hotel with a partial sea view. If you have never been to Southport the beach is quite some distance from the promenade. The only downside to the view was that the outside of the windows had not been cleaned for quite a long time , the windows were dirty and had seagull poo on them. There were also a number of sqeaky floorboards in the hallways. We did not eat at the hotel because we just prefer to eat out. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying there again .

Shabby, dated, not clean, cluttered lobby, common areas and rooms; corridors and our room were overheated like a nursing home. Could not turn heat down in our room. No daily housekeeping services. Terse front desk staff. Tiny double bed in a room overlooking dumpsters both coils of electrical wiring (live, in service) sitting in a puddle of rain runoff on a flat area or roof between two wings of the hotel. Floors squeaked loudly with every step, both water taps in the bathroom dispensed hot water. Decaf instant coffee only for the in-room coffee maker. Would not return for any reason.
