Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, especially considering the great value for money. The hotel's central location was convenient for exploring Blackpool, even though the overall appearance of the area was a bit run down. The dining experience, particularly the homemade soup, left a positive impression, but there was room for improvement. If the hotel invests in some renovations, like new carpets and fresh paint, it could really enhance the guest experience.
The hotel's rooms were disappointing, with a strong damp smell and cleanliness issues like stains and missing items, but the location was central and convenient despite limited parking space. The dining experience was enjoyable with delicious food but not very hot. Despite the drawbacks, the service was friendly and accommodating.
I had a good night's sleep in the hobbit-themed room, with a slight improvement in the smell issue but still noticeable damp patches on the wall. The location wasn't bad for access to shops, pubs, and the beach, although the parking situation led to an unexpected fine upon arrival.
