Free city centre parking, large warm room, friendly staff, decent shower, excellent value for money.
Check-in and key process complicated, you get an access code texted to you for the room and another access code given on a slip of paper for the main door, no keys or key cards. I found the keypads difficult to use but friendly staff helped and I guess it's all in the name of security. No other way to close the door when going out except to slam it, disturbed the guy next door, who thought I was trying to get into his room ! I would prefer regular TV, it took an age to find programmes I wanted to watch on various apps, and then it kept buffering.... I resorted to watching on my phone.

Friendly greeting with cool technology for keys to building and room.
Massive room and lovely and toasty on a freezing cold day
Comfortable bed

TV only seemed to give somebody’s you tube ( prev guest ?? No idea ) but no ordinary channels I could find.
Bathroom was cold - really cold - and towels were damp / wet - had to unroll towel and hang by radiator overnight to use for my shower.

one more thing that is really important once you take payment by booking please don't charge as security deposit that is ethically wrong as you already received the payment from the card please make sure like the customers from booking.com
the towels and T.V was not working.

The staff were helpful, although the reception was always locked when we were there the staff did come quickly when we rang the bell.
The staff seem to work in both the attached burger place and the hotel
The car park is tiny and full of takeaway delivery cars, groups of delivery drivers stand outside most of the evening talking etc till very late.
We had 2 rooms booked, the compact one was okay size wise for what we needed but the walls had tea stains all down them and the carpet was filthy, covered in tea stains.
There were also lots of false eyelashes on the carpets which suggested that the room wasn’t hoovered properly.
The larger room was a very good size, but it had an awful smell to it, very overpowering, couldn’t work out what the smell was, almost smelt of smoking it was awful and no amount of room spray covered it.
The bathrooms were clean and that was a good thing but that was probably the only good thing
The rooms were accessible by a door code but once inside you were not able to lock from inside which worried us from a security point of view, I didn’t feel particularly safe staying there and if I had been a woman on my own I definitely would not of stayed

The room was a good size and the sheets and towels were clean. The hotel is in the centre of Blackburn and there’s plenty in walking distance.
The room stank of cigarette smoke and there were brown stains on the carpet and dirty smears on the wall in the bathroom. A grey fluffy blanket was provided on top of the bed and it was covered in white and brown stains and smelled bad.
I didn’t see the £50 security deposit on check in when I booked. This is perhaps my fault, but I wouldn’t have booked if I’d seen it and it made me worry about losing £50 for the duration of my stay. I have since received the deposit back.

The property was very clean & Tidy.
Bed was comfortable, And very secured with its digital passcode to enter Main Entrance & the room.
Staff were very kind, professional & helpful.
I would recommend
Location; Due to the drunken people or boy racers with there loud cars (As it’s walking distance into town)
——
There was no spoon for the coffee I wanted in the morning, and we had a couple of Damp Towels in the bathroom.
——
Parking is really bad at the venue, But there’s loads of free parking next door from 6.pm till 8.am
All in all, it’s a beautiful place to stay in yo

I didn't stay - an absolute joke of a place, after I'd already booked. I found accomodation elsewhere, I'll be reclaiming my lost fees.
Staff awkward and demanding on reception. I came here to stay over for a cheap night near a long-standing client. They wouldn't accept me because I didn't have any photo ID on me, which I've never needed before. The tiny car park was ridiculous with tiny spaces and a skip in one of them. I ended up having to pay to park in a nearby multi-storey car park, drag my bags around to here, only to be told that I could not stay due to the lack of ID. They were unreceptive to my failed attempts at bargaining to stay with them (I had to work urgently from a hotel that night), so I ended up dragging my bags back up the stairs in the multi-storey car park, paying my parking fee, and leaving - for a different hotel. An absolute disgrace with unhelpful staff, I'll never consider them again.

The cleanliness of the facility
There’s no daily cleaner on duty plus all occupants could hear themselves from the different rooms… the walls are too thin.
As regard the refund of my deposit, I’ve not received it after over 10hrs of leaving the facility even though I was told I’ll get it with the hour i checked out

The hotel was ok for the price I paid.
The room I was in was quite noisy.
No aircon
Cleanliness was just about Ok
My room stank of smoke
