We stayed here for a stag do. The relaxed / party atmosphere was exactly what we needed. Good value for money, breakfast included. No complaining people, and a late bar is perfect (although got in after the bar had closed both nights). The rooms are small and could do with a little TLC and the shower was a drip but... More

Booked in all in inclusive. They ran out of drink. Foreign woman was were extremely rude. Manageress and barman had a big row. Manageress was extemly irate and the barman not much better. Felt really uncomfortable with this. More importantly this is the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in. Smelly, laminate flooring all covered in stains, breakfast room so... More

It's going to be difficult to be curteous and it seems only the reviewer can throw accusations and insults about. They say that some comments can be ignored - as so much of these comments are untrue I would say this is one of them. To say that the bar ran out of drink is ridiculous maybe a particuar drink...

Not the cleanest of places and very run down but considering the state of Blackpool it fits right in. Excellent location for bars and candy floss shops etc. £20 deposit each on arrival but this might of been because we were on a weekend stag. No pool table or bandits as shown on website. But the majority of the pictures... More

Basically, its alright for a stag do, the showers are literally the funniest thing ive ever seen. Good location about 1 minute from blackpool tower. Staff were okay, other than the night porter. He was absolutely insane and tried to throw us out at 7AM for being too noisey "Get yerrrr baggs and get tee fekk" something like that. Anyway... More

A group of 18 of us (12 blokes and 6 girls) stayed all last weekend. Location, spot on! Bar, cheap and open pretty much all night! We played pool and had music on until about 4am. Bedrooms, simple but importantly clean! Staff, friendly! Car parking, opposite the hotel! Breakfast, really nice! If you're a boring snob then I'd say dont... More

I do feel sorry for the guest that was ripped off by the tow company but why does the title imply that the hotel ripped them off! Not one of my staff has taken money from the tow companies and most of the businesses around and about are really helpful to the guests when there is a chance that they... More
