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

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

We didn’t stay. Lasted 15 mins.
It was dirty. Really dirty.
Mattress was just spring.
Had a big wet patch in the carpet.
Smelt musty.
Carpet was stapled together like odd ends of carpet.
Light fittings hanging off.
Couldn’t even give it 1/10 it was really bad.

Shouldn't be allowed on hotels.com
Avoid unless your crazy or very very desperate. Didnt read reviews before booking and couldn't afford to walk away on arrival and stay elsewhere. The pics of property are correct but most of the community areas is storage for crap,our room smelt and wasnt as clean as it should be. We are glad we took our own towls,I had to fix curtains so people couldn't see inside while my wife was changing. The carpet was patch work and nailed down so pain full if you need toilet in night and forgotten your slippers.the mattress on the bed was as old as Blackpool tower and felt horrible to sleep on. The breakfast comes with its own health warning very undercooked eggs,hashbrowns not cooked,out of date jam, the glasses on the tables were filthy not just on our table but on all the tables.

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

The owner bj couldn't be more helpful.
The breakfast was good.
However the service was a little un organised. Due to inexperience.
Me and my family felt so welcome

Was a very pleasant stay, staff very friendly, all needs was 5*.
They did my daughter's birthday a beautiful day. And for sure next time I'll be back to Blackpool, definitely I will book them again.
Thanks for everything

Wouldn’t return
I would not recommend a stay here the location is about the only thing it has going for it. The place is filthy, outdated the king size bed I booked turned out to be a very small double with two divans put together sideways and a mattress that didn’t even fit, very smelly and dirty and unable to use the shower as it was warm only two that was working and too hot. We weren’t given any towels and when we asked for some were given dirty towels with feaces on them.
