8/10 Very good

Pros-Great stay, good location, friendly staff, comfy bed, clean sheets/towels, complimentary toiletries were handy especially since I forgot my wash bag, free water and chocolate was appreciated, can park at the front for £10 a day. Cons- door and window lock was broken so couldn’t open window, mould in bathroom. Overall, cheap and cheerful, would stay again.

Good hotel.

The hotel is very nice. Its clean and well located. Only issues we had was the bed was very hard, the tv in the room was in a bad place it wouldnt normally bother us but the weather was very bad so ended up staying in the room more than we wanted and non of us could see the telly from the beds especially my child.

Very clean, comfortable bed. Owners new to business and building it gradually. Some rooms not yet have tv. Staff very pleasant and welcoming, nothing too much trouble. Would recommend.

The outside of the hotel is awful and needs renovating, but the staff have only been there 2 months and they are working on that!

HELLEN JACKLINE KALERA, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was the worst room we have ever stayed in (room 4). The bathroom was disgusting - silver fish all over the floor and no soap to wash your hands , The room was tiny and did not have a TV or kettle . Upon checking out we were told that they had tried to kill the Silver fish but they were in the carpet - change the carpet for goodness sake. Also they don’t provide soap , we should use the shampoo or body gel ( 2 tiny sachets in the shower) The shower was so small it was impossible to bend down to wash your feet - it was a joke. The room should be decommissioned and fumigated immediately. The room was not worth £5 never mind £65 I would like a complete refund

4/10 Fair

No coffee or tea making in room . No tv in room. shower dropping to bits. tiles missing in bath room.Over all very tiredly
Gary, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room itself was cosy and good for the price. The bathroom was pretty grotty but nothing that couldn't have been sorted with some bleach, limescale remover and a good scrub. When I booked, it said online that you could reserve a car parking space but when I rang they said it wasn't possible, it was first come first served. So I ended up parking in the car park next door which was quite a bit more expensive. The welcome was friendly and I felt safe.

4/10 Fair

Room was dated with a TV that didn’t work and the room we booked for our children didn’t have a TV in it. It was noisy at night and the bed was lumpy
Deborah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Bright and spacious room, basic but clean and fresh. Lovely touch was the chocolates and bottled water. Will definitely book again when returning to Blackpool.
Stacey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely stay. For a budget hotel the little extras such as chocolate, free tea and coffee downstairs and a bottle of water was great! The room was clean and fresh, bathroom dated but clean. My own gripe was the white blinds.. no curtains and the sun was blaring through from the early morning. Also the wind was blowing them around despite the windows being closed! Couldn't adjust the radiator either and it was very hot Would stay again :)
