Once we checked in and recieved our room keys we headed to the lift and upon existing the lift to the first floor we were greated by this vile smell of rotten eggs.
We were a group booking with 6 rooms total and most of which were unfortunately down the same corridor (smelly alley) one room 120 a premier room, the smell was unbearable. We spoke to reception and went straight out on an adventure. We came back post midnight and again was hit with the smell. We had to keep the window open all night to ease the smell away. Upon check out we spoke to reception who advised she’s limited what she could do as she went in the room previously once we checked in to spray air freshener… this isn’t a air problem this is a drainage problem and it’s the whole corridor. I would urge you to shut this room off until it’s fixed.
The room upon fist impressions (minus the smell) was nice, bit dusty and loads of cobwebs. I would say this is majority of the rooms. 117 window was covered with cobwebs. And the sliding door to bathroom didn’t work either.
Breakfast was nice, small but nice!
Could do with a good clean in there but still enjoyed the breakfast.
Parking is limited and not specific on the instructions you need to reserve prior to journey. But we did manage to park on street for free
Such a lovely hotel very clean and modern, rooms were lovely too, we had 3 rooms all very new and fresh two with sea view which was great. Bathrooms lovely too all modern with showers.
Staff were lovely and friendly the entertainment was great so we’re the entertainment staff. Music and bingo was great, drinks were flowing nicely.
Only downfall was the lifts are tiny we had a wheelchair had to take the peddles of to get it in it just about fitted.
We will definitely be staying there again

Good value no frills hotel
Basic with no frills but clean, wall lights didn’t work but lamps put in room to compensate. Blinds pull broken but could still close just couldn’t adjust. Beds clean and comfortable. Rooms were very warm so had to sleep with window open, minimal noise so not an issue. Bathroom small but did the job and shower was hot and decent power. Floorboards very creaky and tv remote temperamental. Could do with a facelift as apart from furnishings all very tired looking. Location was perfect and staff very friendly and helpful. Limited parking so book in advance to guarantee. Facilities looked ok but we didn’t use them as already had plans, well stocked bar with huge tv where there seemed to be entertainment on (bingo the night we were there) and dining area. Very convenient and suited our needs so would stay again for a quick stopover. Feel like we got a basic room as we got a discounted price as room was not like photos. In fact wasn’t a triple room, but 2 rooms, 1 with a double bed and 1 with a single. Was ok for us but may not work for every family.

Okay for the money
I was quite disappointed with our stay. Our room was ok amenities wise but the window sills were extremely dirty. Not ideal when you pay more for a sea view that you can only see by standing at the window. The entertainment was very loud and went on til really late. Our shower only had one temperature and was absolutely scolding, completely unusable. The bed was clean and comfortable. This is our 3rd stay in Blackpool this year and and definitely a hotel I would not return to.
We did not enjoy the stay at all. The interior especially the carpets in the hotel throughout especially the room was awful. There was hardly any water came out the shower head. Even when the dripps and drops came it was either too hot or cold, the temperature knobs was broken and didn’t function at all. The fans in the room didnt work properly they just made noise not air. The beds were ok and they were clean and tidy, fixtures and fittings on the building looks old and tacky. No one answer the phones. Had to wait for a while before someone came to help at the reception for checkout.
