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.

You get what you pay for
A lovely old Blackpool seafront hotel but showing its age and the lack of investment in the property is obvious. Everything is a little tired. Decent breakfast but waiting half an hour for a pot of tea was disgraceful. Car park charges are a rip off

A very special hotel.
The hotel is obviously 'faded' in areas. Our room was very basic (and cheap) but very clean and the constant hot water/bath was very welcome after long walks along wonderful coastline. The refurbished rooms are lovely but obviously more costly. The evening dinner is superb. What makes this hotel so special - I visit every year - is the lovely staff. They are so friendly and helpful. Will be back.

Disappointed
We are not snobs but having stayed before we feel the number 10 bar has lost some of its charm and character due to the young bar staff We arrived late at night (11pm) and after checking in we went for a drink to find 3 young people working in the bar The two males were very childish just messing around like 5 year olds with one coming back into the bar and kicking a chair back to the table rather than placing it back which even made the young lady behind the bar look amazed We had upgraded to a sea view room which was on level 4 and had what I can only describe as a window the size of a port hole which you had to stand up to see through For me this was over priced and should be classed as a restricted sea view and reflected in the price We asked to be moved as we know other rooms have normal windows but none were available so decided to upgrade again to a superior sea view room as we were very disappointed with the restricted view which also had roof beams I would have knocked my head on We will go back because the other staff and food were very good but the bar staff need training and need to understand that the hotel has charm and character which should be reflected in the way that they act

The staff at very noisy on the landings, talking loudly when guests are asleep or relaxing in their rooms. We attended a function there, and were disappointed with the lack of beers available at the bar. The room we stayed in was very much in need of a makeover. Very sad and tatty decor. The curtains were too narrow to cover the window. The room and bedding were clean - just very grim and sad!

Few days break
We had a few problems with rooms, one was above a noisy function room and so were moved into a much smaller room, too small for 2 people. So moved again, however management were excellent at dealing with our issues. Rooms were full of character which is what i liked, windows though were single glass sash type old fashioned windows but even though the room heating was off the rooms were still warm enough. Breakfast was good. Also plenty of parking although have to pay extra for I think its worth it to park at the hotel compared to some other hotels where cars are blocked in by other guests.
