Good b and B
Room had clean bedding and check in was good. It’s an average bed and breakfast. Poeple complaining for complaining sake. All these bad reviews. I would stay again due to location, friendly staff and clean bedding
Did not get the room we booked we paid extra for a bigger room and we got a small one was told that the pictures on your advert was wrong plus we asked for a lower floor room and we was put on the first floor with the lift not working
We was all so asked to pay a deposit of £50
We could not us the shower as one off the doors was missing the sink was slow taking the water away
The tv remote did not work
So we was not happy with the hotel.
The property needed painting and carpets cleaned but a nice continental breakfast and location good near to the tower, but no parking had to pay twenty pound near by for 48 hours no entertainment like it says, also nice white clean towels over all good for the money

It was what we needed but ask about size of rooms ours was small but just right for me and my partner staff nice and being done up in basement so no bar as yet but things are looking good
I don’t like leaving bad reviews.
But the room was terrible not the room I booked in the photos . Went to speak to reception but got absolutely nowhere with her .
I looked a room with window to floor two chairs and a table and got a tiny box room with the cupboard doors missing as room to small to open the doors .
The room was not cleaned once in our 3 night stay .
We never got any new towels put in the room or even the bin emptied .
The window did not open the skirtings were covered in dirt and dust and mold all over the toilet and shower area .
Nice and close Blackpool centre all the entertainment beach and bars
Very small rooms . Bed was very uncomfortable. . Stains on the duvets
Broken doors in cupboards.. cheap toilet seats. No ventilation in rooms . Wouldnt stay there agin . Spend the extra 100 quid and stay in a nice hotel on sea front .5 mins past blackpool

Next to "most things" ie Blackpool tower" etc and not far from " Blackpool North" railway station.
BUT very small bedroom(one side of bed was AGAINST the wall).
Very noisy because the "lift" was ouside our room.
Noisy doors "slammers"...BUT worth the £97? Ish for the location.
Good luck STILL 3.9+ star's
The hotel was very basic no amenities the tv in the room did not work, the beds were very uncomfortable. The only good thing was the location wouldnt stay here again
Absolutely disgusting music blasting all nite carpet was up.wallpaper of wall window minging bed uncomfortable shower door fell off tv didnt work complaint but they took no notice
