    Not clean, very dusty, it could have been a beautiful hotel but the owner did not renovate the rooms, everything is old, rusty, old carpet, if you are looking for quality, cleanes or you have higher standards do not choose to stay at this hotel. However the bed sheets are ok,clean. Unfortunately, all Blackpool hotels are very ugly and overall the city has a poor image, buildings are ugly. I went for Sandcastle Aquapark adventure and I had to sleep for 1 night but I don't recommend this hotel if you want to stay for a longer period like 1 week or more. The indian couple who waited for us at the reception were nice people.The temperature in the room was perfect. In the front of the hotel are only 4 car parking spaces.The hotel is close to the main road.

    It was quiet during night

    TV remote didn't work, and after a 4 hour train journey, all I wanted to do was chill and watch some t.v luckily. My phone had to do. Bedding had holes in I.E person before must have been smoking in the bed, floor could have done with a hoover before allowing a guest to stay

    Friendly staff, allowed me to check in late(8pm), nice Seaview despite scaffolding (that can't be helped)

    The room looked nothing like the pictures. Me and my partner stayed one night luckily.. but the room was very small.. there was no where to hang your clothes. The bath panel was hanging off. The shower curtain was very dirty so could not have shower.we woke up very cold as there was a heater but when we switched it on. It had a smell.

    The staff was lovely.

    The shower pressure was very week although this may have been due to being on the third floor. The matress do need to be replaced at least in the room I was in as you could feel the springs in the bed

    Clean room and was a good size too. Was only 20 mins walk from the north pier. The hosts were friendly

    Where do I start The room was filthy There was no electricity in any of the rooms and after sitting in the bar area for over 2 hours the owners never came to us to explain the situation We were travelling with a 1 year old, we were not offered torches or candles, the bar area absolutely smelled disgustingly like wee and damp, I felt completely filthy staying at this hotel and if it wasn’t so late at night and after having a few glasses of wine with dinner I would have driven home, the place shouldn’t be open for business and should be closed down by the health inspector, there was also no hot water, we left at 6.30 in the morning because we hated being there, it also costed £90 for the pleasure of staying there, I don’t think I would pay £30, completely ruined our trip!

    I didn’t like that both hot and the cold tap come out very hot so we had no cold water and the weather was really hot outside so to have no cold water it was really not good , we did request cold water from downstairs but apparently they couldn’t do that, also when I asked about did they do drinks n stuff he said only beer didn’t explain further or sound appealing to even go have a look, also the hotel was so far away from anything it did look closer on the map but yeah something for people to consider as we spend unnecessary money on taxis ect and walking took us about 45 mins from the tower.

    The lady greeted us on arrival, room was clean and tidy, bed was very comfy, they had tea and coffee in the room and a kettle, the bathroom was clean which is always a good thing.

    The people were friendly enough promised an upgrade that we didn't get cause our room was soo shocking, moldy bed base, rusty bathroom shelves, curtain pole broke, someone's used eyelashes left on the mirror so clearly not cleaned looked noting like the photos we seen online if that was shown I would have avoided that and gone else where

    Can t say there was something we did not like, there were renovations going and as expected scaffolding on the building, and our room being front see was mainly on the window side but can t say we didn t like, was expected and being Easter holiday no one worked so no noise or inconvenience. Once finished i am sure it will look amazing and with the benches back on the terase that would be a great spot for morning coffee or evening tea 🙂

    Amazing staff, very helpful and kind, very close of any attraction by the sea or town, everything you need ( restaurants or budget shops) in a walking distance, super close to the sea, and breathtaking view of the sunset!

    The pictures online are not at all what the property was like. The building is full of scaffolding and looks derelict. From entering the property, there was rubbish on the floor, a bad smell, and felt and looked dirty. Going through the corridors to our room, it was filthy and very dated, we literally felt like we were in a homeless shelter that hadn't been in use in 10 years. My hands constantly felt dirty from touching doors, etc. Our room had a bunk bed and a double bed, 2 bedside tables which were nowhere near the bed, a filthy sofa and a chest of drawers. All the furniture looked like it had been shoved in the room wherever it fitted like a game of tetris. The "flat screen" TV was that old that it didn't have a HDMI port, in fact it was that old it had a scart port. The tea and coffee facilities were poor and dirty. The sheets and bedding had stains and holes and did not feel clean. The carpet had come straight from the 70s and felt so dirty. The room was freezing, the windows were constantly misted like they were not sealed correctly. The smell everywhere was awful. We were with our 2 little boys and could only manage to stay for 1 night.

    The owners were pleasant.

    Where do I start the place needs closing down or a complete revamp no tv in the room, no heating, no plug in the sink so you can't wash, lots of scaffold outside I'm sorry the worst place in Blackpool I'm reporting this place to an health and safety officer
