Was a ok hotel at best, a lot of noise with the corridor doors slamming throughout the night.
Room was very dated but fine for one night stay. Parking is £10, breakfast was £20 and if you need an early check in that was another £20. Would probably choose a different one next time

Lovely quality hotel. Little bit dated but good value for money. Quiet at the time of visiting and, thankfully, free from the riff-raff of other Blackpool hotels.

Great victorian building, breakfast a let down.
Lovely old building. Some grear original architecture. Room was large and clean just looked a bit outdated but then again its a victorian building. Staff friendly. Only down side was the breakfast. Everything had been sat for a while so either rubbery or hard. I noticed alot of sausages had been left on plates, which means they need a better sausage lol

Unimpressed
Not a 4 star hotel. Room was tiny and no bedside tables or light next to bed. Bathroom " shower room ". Had to sit sideways on the toilet because of shower rail above my head. Shower not big enough. Very unimpressive room overall. Single glazed window with wood missing from frame.

Let down by check in !
We were on a tight schedule on arriving after a 7 hour drive , arriving at 18.45 .
Literally had to drop our bags and leave.
Sadly a new member of staff on reception did not have a clue . Even though he was trying his best . We had 2,rooms and took over 20 minutes to book us in which had been pre paid ??? I asked for him to get help and he said everyone was busy and he had only just started. Very disappointed with check in

Birthday treat
Spent three nights here over my birthday and so we could see the Illuminations. This is a really lovely, traditional style hotel and we loved every minute of our stay. We had the Dinner, Bed and Breakfast deal and the meals were really good, with a nice choice of dishes. Overall great value for money and I'd reccommend this place highly.
