Fabulous stay
Booked one night as going to a show at Winter gardens
When we checked in there wasn’t a room available which we had booked (double sea view) so after a few minutes the guy said app sorted we’ve upgraded you to a luxury family room which was fab, so roomy and comfortable
Breakfast self service but again no complaints

Friendly but tired
Stayed here many times, but this last trip was sadly not good. The grand exterior and reception and bar areas remain classic, but the hotel is sorely in need of upkeep, particularly the rooms. We had a deluxe double which was extremely tired in very poor condition and in urgent need of an update and even a box of tissues.Staff lovely and freindly but there is a sense of management/training issues being needed. Seems like a very sad demise and we reluctantly will be forced to stay somewhere else next time. Hopefully someone will come to the rescue of this Grand Old Lady who still has huge classic potential.

The hotel is very clean and staff very helpful and pleasant. However I upgraded my room to one with a window view. If was £15 extra per night, which having seen the room I thought was a bit much for the very small window in the room.

Another lovely stay here
We have been coming to this Hotel for years always get a friendly welcome & feel it offers very good service & price.
Managed to get a free upgrade to a very spacious & beautiful suite which enhanced our trip how lovely!
The place is spotless,staff always helpful & the food is hot, tasty & suits every palate & allergies.
Very near to the town so only a short walk so perfect really!

Was a ok hotel at best, a lot of noise with the corridor doors slamming throughout the night.
Room was very dated but fine for one night stay. Parking is £10, breakfast was £20 and if you need an early check in that was another £20. Would probably choose a different one next time

Lovely quality hotel. Little bit dated but good value for money. Quiet at the time of visiting and, thankfully, free from the riff-raff of other Blackpool hotels.

Tired hotel not for couples but bus triops
This hotel is more for bus trips the queue to check in took over 30 mins the queue for breakfast was as bad. This hotel really needs an upgrade
