    They didn’t have free parking it was just the street parking, the TV didn’t work, the lights blew, there was no one to check out with in the morning. The room wasn’t very clean.

    The bed was comfortable and the staff were nice.

    Well first night heating broke so guy tried to fix them but couldn’t until the morning so gave us heaters which was fair except the part where every outlet in the rooms where high up so had to balance it on a cube storage unit in one of the rooms to get it to work. We left early the next day to go exploring and get breakfast and on return the heating wasn’t fixed so we had no heating the 3 nights as wasn’t chasing them up constantly so all we had was the electric ones provided. If you love the smell of cigarettes and a certain plant then u will love this place as that’s all you can smell. The mould that was in the shower cubicle was also concerning. Would be fine if it was cheap but cost me around £330 to stay for three nights so yeah I won’t be back. Side note away from hotel I doubt we will be back to Blackpool to stay as the place has gradually got worse every year. If it wasn’t for the pleasure beach then I wouldn’t return. Should also mention I have never reviewed a hotel before but I know how much it can make a difference to the mood of a holiday so being honest is the best route.

    Location is good

    The curtains couldn't block out a lamps light let alone the sun. The main door didn't fit the frame so had to be slammed (not ideal at 0200). Was promised towels in the room when I got there which never arrived.

    Location is excellent for being central to Blackpools entertainment.

    Unfortunately my accommodation (Oyo Shores) was changed 2 days before we got there !! No reason given either !! Was travelling with my friend and her son and she was kept there but me and my son moved without any reason given !! Booking.com couldn't care less and the hotel they moved us too didn't even have a room for us that Oyo had apparently secured for us but luckily the man there Oyo Wave had a cancellation and gave us that room !! This service is awful and I've still no reason as to why they moved us ?? Luckily the guy at Oyo Wave hotel was lovely and helped us however I will not be booking an OYO hotel again as this lack of explanation as to why they moved us but not my friend !!

    Nothing to say about this hotel as was moved with no explanation 2 days before we travelled !! OYO Wave Crest hotel was nice and the guy on reception helpful but as for Booking.com and OYO no thanks !! Couldn't care less about customers and move people with zero explanation !! And Booking.com when I emailed were not bothered in the slightest !!

    Parking was difficult (although this wasn’t the hotels problem) we had requested due to child’s needs and having a blue badge to be able to park nearby. We requested towels 4 times and never arrived. The last request at 10.15 pm was informed 15mins, so we waited up before going to bed. The towels never arrived. The bed was described a large double but was a standard double bed, the sheets on double not clean. Having to ring the front doorbell every time we wanted to come back to the hotel to collect/ get changed. The light in the bathroom flickered went on and off so had to leave the door ajar for light source. All plug sockets were behind tables so difficult to reach for charging up phones. It appeared that the staff attempting to organise the hotel, however no cups, spoons or towels in the room.

    The location was handy, walkable into centre. The hotel was able to accommodate our needs regarding a lower level floor for our child with disability. The room was fairly clean (except below issue) The room was warm. Staff friendly

    The mess and the clutter sorry 😞 £105 a night for a small basic room was a little steep. We had our grandaughter with us and had to share a large bed ( wasn't really a problem) little problem with a room leaking. My sons room was very small and basic unfortunately not worth £105 for a night. Breakfast was extra not included but it was nice. The bar area was very untidy and clutterd but the owner is very friendly. The dogs didn't bother us. Don't like giving a bad review but have to be honest. Staff and guests sitting on the steps drinking outside doesn't look inviting. As I said for 1 night it was ok but to pricey for basic.

    Very friendly owners and they did a lovely cooked breakfast . Our room was comfortable unfortunately if I'm very honest the place is very untidy and needs a good declutter . For 1 night it was ok.

    Quite untidy in ‘reception’ No towels in room No bulbs in lights I don’t think room had been cleaned, there was rubbish behind the bed. stains on bedside table. windows were dirty. The hotel was quite messy. Smell of ‘weed’ and cigarette smoke. No good when I had two small children with us. The people were friendly but not very professional. I won’t be staying again.

    staff were friendly.
