Right by north pier.A cheap hotel [you get what you pay for],the staff were ok and polite,room was fine for one night,clean and tidy. The entertanment for a two star hotel was great.The night we stayed we saw the resident entertanment team and thought them very good.All in all good value for money.

We stayed at this hotel in March, during a cold spell on our first visit to Blackpool. I wished I'd spent more and stayed somewhere nicer! Staff a reception were mostly rude or unhelpful , but that appeared to be due to a shortage of staff and no management about to deal with complaints. The building interior is grubby and... More

We stayed in the Metropole a few years ago in 2010 and found it to be excellent with a bright, clean and tidy room and an excellent breakfast thrown in. On the strength of this we thought we would stay again for a two night break. But wished we hadn't. When we got here we checked in at reception and... More

We stayed in this hotel two weeks ago and it was disgusting. Smelly, cobwebs hanging from the bedroom ceiling, bathroom tiles dirty, windows dirty, dirty cups, breakfast inedible, stains on the bedding, stains on the walls, public toilets smelled of urine. Dont see where the millions have been spent.
