Guest Reviews

Emily (3/5): -
Paul (6/5): ok - view the shower is crap, no power.
kehoe (8/5): -
Paul (1/5): Filthy - Location was good Room was filthy windows were screw shut so no air in room smelled really bad
Biglad 1968 (10/5): -
llivett1 (6/5): I left next day because of the disco i couldnt sleep with that - Room overlooking disco over road that was open till 4am at night
Anthony (1/5): Avoid! - Location is all that this hotel has going for it. Where do I start, avoid booking at all costs, the place is an absolute disgrace. The owners, directors, manager and staff should be utterly disappointed in themselves. I have never experienced anything as filthy as this place, as you can see from the photos it's unclean with years of dirt and grime embedded into the fabric of the building. They need to reset the whole place by closing down and stripping the place from top to bottom and cleaning. The entrance from the street hasn't been vavumed for a long time, the tile skirting has fallen off and just left there, the windows in the entrance are full of blue bottle flies the carpet is filthy. The carpet under the edge of the door is frayed, the shower tray is disgusting, there was splash marks of something up the wall, the electric radiator is hanging off the wall and the smell in the room was vile. DONT BOOK THIS HOTEL you will thank me later.
Pip (8/5): Great location and parking discount pluses - Location , discount on parking , rooms lift accessable , its own bar. Hair dryer wouod cut out every minute and you had to wait for it to cool down to use it again .

Wendy (7/5): Ok - The room needed a good clean as it had all milk or something up the window and walls the windows out side were that dirty you could not see through them but OK for a 1 night stay Just the cleanness needed to be improved
Callum (8/5): -
Wendy (8/5): Bank holiday stay for Northern soul at the Tower. - The room was plenty big enough for a 3-night stay over may bank holiday. Loved the sea view and a 5 minute walk from Blackpool tower. Staff very friendly and helpful. Well done for working over Bank holiday weekend with the Young farmers 😀 The entrance needs updating. Carpet are grubby.but must be extremely difficult to keep them clean with foot fall. Pity breakfast £10 wasn't included with the price (£280) for 3 nights . Sorry but pillows need replacing and instructions for the heater would be very helpful. Couldn't work out how to switch it on.

I went to reception and got no assistance what so ever. I then had to find another hotel at 8pm in the evening for myself and my 72 yeas old aunty who has just recently recovered from cancer, has COPD and ashtma. The new hotel cost me a further £300. I had to leave my auntys rented mobility scooter and we had to walk to the new hotel. I have wrote an email to complain on Friday night and it is now Tuesday and no response. AVOID this hotel it is disgusting

Lucy (1/5): - Not a lot There was mold everywhere
Elise (4/5): I was so excited to stay here but I was so disappointed. - The bar. The room was facing the seafront as requested. The room. It was so claustrophobic. The bed was so close to the walls my partner had to manoeuvre so he didn’t bang his head on the tv. The worst nights sleep ever as the bed was so hard and the quilt so thin. 4 pillows provided but they weren’t very comfortable either.
