Loud music till 4am
A wet patch on the carpet outside the bathroom.
I was asked for a deposit and that wasn’t mentioned before I paid for the room.
I was asked for ID and that wasn’t mentioned before I paid for the room.
I had to go through a dubious bar to get to my room.
The heating was on all night, and couldn’t be turned off. It made the room far too warm.
I didn’t feel safe there.

Quick check in, easy access to WiFi, quite liked the bar even though I didn't buy anything
Fight outside room, very aggressive drunk neighbours, mold or damp in the room, fire alarm went off at 7am, no towels, TV remote didn't work, had to barricade myself with the unit as drunk residents was banging into it.
THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF AND THERE WAS NO INFORMATION ON THE DOOR OR IN THE ROOM
I'd stay again but probably only if I had to

The location is good and the room was warm.
The room was dirty, food spills on walls and radiator, plus a dirty mug that had been in the room from previous guesses!? The back door which was right outside our room was broken off, so the noise was constant all night long. The worst bit was the door. We were put in a room which was blocked off by a door, but people were coming in and out of it all night long looking for the toilets, and the BANG that the door made when being opened and closed was absolutely ridiculous, it was like fireworks being let off in our room every few minutes. The mattress was so bad, the springs were digging in our backs. All in all a really bad stay.

Staff did not answer calls. I tried almost 20 times on arrival, and the main door was closed, so I could not check it. I emailed before arrival regarding the estimated arrival time. Still i struggled due to this behaviour. It will be a disaster to trust this hotel for check-in.
I could not even check in .

The location is brilliant near to shops, beach just across the road and transport near by. Staff were nice and would help when needed anything. Breakfast was lovely.
The room had half the blinds missing, we had to put coats up to keep light dim. we had sea view and because of the wind the windows rattled and made a horrible sawing noise so was awake early hours. There were no towels or cups in the room but once asked got these straight away. No remote to the Tv but managed to get channel 5 on somehow. It was an experience.

Sea view
Room was inappropriate for an adult and a 14 year old boy based on the nature of the hotel and the condition of the room the heating was reported as broken the room was icy cold and the problem remained unsolved throughout the 2 day and night visit staff were aggressive and unhelpful and had zero consideration for the safety or problems I was experiencing
4.0 / 10.0
The location was great and I paid to have a sea view which was the best part of my stay as it looked directly out at the front of the beach and illuminations.
The bed was quite low and not that comfy. The hotel smelt of strong cologne when you walked into the bar area and the staff were either absent or over friendly. They kept my £20 deposit despite me trying to contact them twice to ask when I’d get it back. If they erre going to keep the deposit they might as well just put the room price up as it was dishonest.

Absolutely nothing when checked in on arrival
Staff was quite rude not really helpful.!
Everything from start to finish we didn’t end up staying we was only in there half hour and went to check in elsewhere and found another hotel. The room was far from basic absolutely freezing no tv remote diety floor. Quilt was a thin as paper I was shocked

N/a. I didn’t have a breakfast due to the dirty state of the place
Where do I start. The person on the desk immediately demanded £20 deposit for the key to my room. Then I found my room was on the lower floor by a permanently insecure fire door. The carpet in my room was dirty with a hole in it. The room had dust covering the lamp. The bathroom had not been cleaned and there was no hot water. The room had no towels. I could go on and on.
There was a private party booked that evening. This went on until 5am. I had people banging on my door shouting outside my room throughout the night. There was an internal door that was banging all night.
This place should not be allowed to operate. In the morning I had to walk through a bar area covered in broken glass and all the left over dirty glasses from the private party. We could not find anyone to get our deposit back on the key. After 25 mins we eventually found someone, who was very reluctant to give us our deposits back even though we had the keys

I did like the look from the website but was false
From the hidden cost of room key deposit and parking to the lack of amenities and everything in-between but the worst was some drunk person knowing my daughters room at 4.50 in the morning

The bedding was clean and the bed was very comfy.
The toilet door didn't lock,the lamp couldnt be plugged in near to the bed as there were no plugs. The drawers were broken and unclean,the kettle lead didn't reach the plug unless you put it onto the floor. There was only one mug between two people. The shower gel had already been used,the toilet seat didn't fit and slid about.The courtyard view wasn't brilliant.

This place is a dump. From the minute I arrived I couldn’t believe my eyes. Everyone in this place is full of drugs and drink. I was with my 3 year old son and he was actually upset during the night due to people banging doors. Arguing and fighting in the hallway.
I tried to phone down the reception due to this as I was in a room with my son for nobody to answer because they have no staff working overnight.
My son was scared with all the noise. We then had a fire alarm in the morning cause someone was smoking in the room. I decided to check out a day early. No refund given told the manager wasn’t in. Told to contact booking.com.
I went upstairs to get my stuff and a woman was walking the halls smoking a joint infront of my child!!!
There was mold patches on the ceiling. The whole place was stinking of smoke.
No hot water in shower either.

Nothing. Do not book.
The rooms were not as shown on booking.com they were dirty. Holes in the walls. The curtains were broken. My daughter's room, the fire alarm, was hanging out of the ceiling. It was extremely hot. No air con, broken fan. Missing items from any attempt of facilities. To enter the room, you have to walk through the bar with a strippers pole. It was awful and seedy. Left after the first night. Was told we would be refunded..however have been ignored for months and they are ignoring booking.com. There are WAY better and safer apartments and rooms to rent in blackpool.
