There was laundry placed on the radiator at the entrance. Bathroom was unclean lots of hair in the wash basin and shower. Therefore we were not able to take a shower in the morning.

Unfortunately no we do not have a lift, there are one or two flights of stairs to the guest rooms. We are an 8 min walk to Pleasure Beach, sandcastle water park and south pier, we do show a map of where we are before you book.

Hotel staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. We only stayed for one night and found the beds to be comfortable and the room warm. The room was clean however there was a fair amount of wear and tear which was visible and so made the room appear unclean. The curtain poles were rusty and the curtains themselves ripped. For us this was a last minute booking, and only for one night so this was ok, but if we had been staying longer, the finish of the room (curtains etc) would have been disappointing. The hotel itself though was a good rate for a fairly decent room, we didn’t use the facilities such as the bar or dining room but these appears to be well looked after and clean. It just needs a little TLC in the rooms.

Hello there. Thank you for a positive review! We are glad that you enjoyed your overnight stay with us and that you found the room comfortable. The curtains in the room you stayed in will be replaced at the end of the season as guests have damaged them with use. We do put up new curtain poles but unfortunately they do become rusty due to the weather and the sea air when the windows are open. We are glad you found the hotel good value and we hope to welcome you back again in the future!

Great for Pleasure Beach!
It's very close to Blackpool Pleasure beach, and my family room with one double and two bunks was perfect and comfortable, the shower was strong and hot, bathroom modern and clean, and the included full English breakfast was really tasty. Well done, would stay again!
