I liked my room 4, lovely seaview room so great views and looks right onto the south pier, all rooms are shower only; lovely lady Claire - nice to meet you Claire. Plenty places to eat nearby hotel, had a nice lunch at Wetherspoons which has plenty spaces to eat, some tables on the rooftop. The hotel does not have any meals but that was OK; hotel is spoilt for transport options with tram stops and bus stops right opposite and now you can get a tram direct from Blackpool North Station to either up north or down south. Some guests may not like the bingo games from the south pier as you can hear it from the room, starts around 10am till 10pm, though I quite enjoyed hearing it. Lovely being there for the switch-on of lights, my first time and also my first time staying down south, I'm usually up north. A lively area whereas up north is quieter. Very reasonable to stay at this hotel too. Will return soon!

Disappointing Hotel Despite the Location
This is not a hotel where you would want to stay for either a short or long holida….it’s something else entirely, and frankly, I’m surprised such a place still exists in the UK. It’s disappointing to see such a lack of standards in the hospitality industry. To be fair, we were a group of five (2 adults and 3 kids), so perhaps others may have a different experience. However, aside from a place to sleep, this hotel has absolutely nothing to offer. I am truly at a loss for words to express just how let down I am. The only redeeming quality of this hotel is its convenient location next to Pleasure Beach and directly opposite South Pier. Highly not recommend it, pay a bit more and get a decent hotel in this area.

Avoid
On arrival we were greeted with a dirty pair of pants in the bathroom. The tap in bathroom was stiff and wouldn’t turn off properly the shower was awful no power and smallest shower head possible was told there was toiletries but there isn’t as only on a 1 night stay took none luckily a spar round the corner. The room itself was dusty & very hot then to complete it all in the morning turned on tv for my little niece to watch but didn’t work. Plus point il never have to go to this cesspit agai.

Friendly greeting when we arrived. Only a couple of small issues, the shower door was broken so we couldn't use the shower properly, but it was sufficient for the kids to wash off the sea water from their legs. The only other issue is that we booked a family room, which was on the top floor, I'm just glad our kids are older and didn't need carried up all the stairs. But that's not an issue with the hotel, just a mild inconvenience. Room was tidy, well insulated windows drowned out the sound of the pier at night, keycard access to allow you to come and go as needed. It seems like the building is getting upgraded and worked on, good luck to the proprietor with the works.

We stayed over the weekend in the family room The lady who greeted us was very nice and showed us to our room The room was basic but clean Could do with another pillow each, blackout or darker curtains as the light flooded in at 5am and a bathroom mirror for shaving Other than that the room was okay Tea and coffee making facilities Seagulls very noisy ( not the hotels fault though ) Location was great and really close to everything Owner doesn’t live on site but gave us a number should we need her which was fine
