Harry & Joyce, the hosts, ensured we had a lovely experience. The location is perfect, central to all the main attractions in Blackpool.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is great, right in the heart of Blackpool, but the room situation wasn't ideal with some cleanliness issues and unexpected access concerns. However, the service was friendly though lacking in privacy, and the dining was a hit or miss depending on the day.

Rooms

5.0

The room situation was a bit of a hassle. Cleanliness was questionable with blood stains on the sheets, and it felt more like a single room than a double. We had to move rooms multiple times and even found our friends' stuff mysteriously moved without permission.

The staff were friendly and chatty, available during the day and evening, but there were some privacy concerns. Refusal for a refund and reports of them entering rooms without permission were unsettling.

Dining experiences varied from fab to disappointing. Some days the breakfast was basic with only cereal and bread, while on other mornings, it was lovely. Inconsistent service between different days and guests having to improvise on their own breakfast.

Facilities were not the highlight of the stay. Issues with room cleanliness and privacy overshadowed any positive aspects.

The hotel is in a great location near shops, the beach, and other main attractions. The rooms are cozy and the bed was very comfortable, making it hard to get up in the morning. However, the room felt cramped with mismatched beds, curtains not properly hung, and issues with plug sockets. A do-over for the bedding and maintenance is needed. Additionally, we had to request towels, which is unusual for a hotel. Unfortunately, breakfast was not available on time as advertised.

The hotel definitely needs improvement in various aspects, as the rooms were cramped with mismatched bedding and basic amenities. The breakfast selection was limited to just cereal and bread, and extras like tea and coffee came at an additional cost. However, the location was ideal for a short stay, being near Blackpool's attractions and the center of the city.
