Rooms Are Equipped With The Basics
Rooms are equipped with the basics. A working shower, comfy bed, TV, and other essentials like tea and coffee utensils. You get what you need for the price and if you are only staying for a night or two, you will be pretty much satisfied with your accommodations.
positive:
Exception To The Rule
The hotel meals are delicious. They serve a full English breakfast including marmalade and toast. A three course evening meal with a choice of wine is delectable. The chef is not shy about making an exception and cooking special meals if you are a vegan, vegetarian, or sensitive to gluten.
positive:
Close To Everything
The beach is a short walk away. There are a number of bars and a casino close by as well. Blackpool itself has its own history and its quite interesting once you read up about it.

The Laziest Staff In Blackpool?
It seems that the hotel staff are somewhat nonchalant about the whole customer service thing. For example, they have a blasé attitude towards issues and you may not see them when leaving the facility. What’s more, if no one is up early enough to make breakfast, you simply won’t have anything to eat.
negative:
Unclean And Perhaps Unsafe
The hotel could do with a good cleaning. You may find a dirty shower, ceiling collapsing, no fire extinguisher, a TV that doesn’t work properly, and chipped cups. Forget a clear view from the window as they may be covered with grime with stained blinds.
negative:
Parking Is Expensive
If you are driving, be prepared to pay out of your pocket for parking, and it’s not cheap!
