Look elsewhere
Wasn’t really the most clean hotel we have stayed in Blackpool, towels was dirty, window ledge full of dust, bathroom looked like it hasn’t been touched for a while.

Deeply disappointed
What stay. The hotel cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. It spoiled the start of our holiday
If we have to give 48 hours notice why should they cancel with such short notice and no explanation

Helpful
As its under new ownership they're finding their feet, needs a bit of life breathing into the place. Needs new toilet seats and shower heads and a lick of paint. VJ was very helpful and accommodating, he even bought pizza for the kids. I would happily stay again in the future, perfectly situated opposite south pier

Cheap and cheerful
We stayed in room 15 right at the top floor, the carpet between the two rooms was soaking wet. The carpet it nailed and screwed down and if you have barefeet it hurts. The mattress on one of the bets had a spring sticking out at the very bottom if you sat there it was sticking in you. The shower pressure is terrible. The curtains had what looked like a cigarette burn hole in them and half hanging off the rail. The only good this was that it was a sea view room

The owner was very polite & friendly.
However the property is very dirty and run down. The room we stayed was run down. The bathroom smelt of urine. There was also a pool around the toilet. The bath mats smelt of urine. The bedding didnt smell clean and the carpets in the room were filthy. Corridor carpets full of stains. Walls were stained and the dust was inches thick.
We will not be returning to this property.

Excellent location
Typical blackpool hotel this could be a greatvplace with some investement and a cleanup the location as we were visiting the pleasure beach was superb it also wasnt too noisy and the landlord was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with we were given a fan due tonthe heat over the weekend and offered a second cooling unit if required given a space to park vith vehicle's too which is a huge plus for the location overalln8d stay again 😀
