The owner bj couldn't be more helpful. The breakfast was good. However the service was a little un organised. Due to inexperience. Me and my family felt so welcome

I got a phone call from someone asking what time we were checking in as jo one would be there to check us in. This was nit the owner but was helping him out. Upon arrival we got sent a few different room numbers and and codes to gain entry. The front door was not secure. When we did finally gain entry to a room the would not lock and it was filthy and unmade. The whole property is a debacle. We left without staying and found other accommodation as did not feel safe. This property should be removed from the site. I have applied for a refund but doubtful i will get one.

DO NOT BOOK

Absolutely appalling! For one it’s false advertising looks nothing like the photos on the advertisement! Got to the room and wow I have no words, pictures to follow! The cleanliness WHAT CLEANLINESS! the only thing clean about this stay was the bag in the bin! I booked this room as a treat for my grandson as he had just finished his SATS and I was absolutely gutted and mortified! Then to top it off we went down for breakfast everyone around me got their breakfasts I was told they forgot about mine. I would have never have booked it I knew then what know now!

Avoid

This hotel looks nothing like the photos. There is no bar or pool table. Its a former indian restaurant. The rooms were very run down and very dirty. The staff were very scruffy looking and also did not engage with us. The whole experience was just awful. We and another couple checked out as soon as we checked in.

Cheap and cheerful.

We booked at 1pm, family room. We arrived around 5.30pm. On arrival our booking wasn't found, so our room wasn't ready for us so where asked to come back in half a hour and it would be ready, Received a text about a hour later to inform that the room was now ready, Room itself was fine for what we paid, great location and great view from our room. Wasn't a hairdryer or ironing facilities in the room, unsure if these would have been available if we had asked, so worth checking this before you stay, didn't matter to us as we were just getting up and heading home and I had my own hairdryer with me. There was a microwave in the room, a toaster would have been an advantage for anyone staying longer, no tea bags either just coffee. An overall pleasant enough stay.

Pros is it is in a very good area and the lady checking us in was nice. Cons - never have I ever stayed in a hotel and felt so unsafe. We returned back in the evening and were greeted by a man who seemed off his face on drugs. He could barely even stand up and didnt seem to know what was going on. We were going to leave our pram downstairs but instead we used it to barricade the door. We were meant to be staying 2 nights but we left the hotel the next morning. The corridor stunk up near our bedroom which the lady sprayed some air freshner which made it better, the rooms were not the cleanest AVOID AT ALL COSTS I have suggested to ebookers that they should remove this hotel from their website.

This hotel is also known as Hawes Hotel. It is the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. When we checked in the lady was very pleasant and showed us to our room. We should have left then but we also had 2 family rooms booked and were unlikely to find anywhere else to stay at short notice. We decided to make the best of it and went out for a few hours. When we got back the front door was locked so we had to ring the bell. It was eventually opened by a man who was clearly drunk or worse who barged passed us and ran up the street. There was also other men in the bar area who were passed out on the chairs. We went to our rooms, barricaded the doors and tried to get some rest. We left at 9am the following morning and wont be back. One of my daughters had booked for 2 nights but didnt stay the 2nd night. I dont know how ebookers have these hotels on their booking sites.

Was ok but needs alot of work

Place is managed by one man Tom who was very nice ...Owner was off to Birmingham as we arrived and another lady disappeared when I spoke to her so not much of a welcome . Place needs work and cleaning tbh ... Basic standards are a must especially in a town with so much competition.. Hotel had two names which doesn't help.Think we were the only ones there but we were the only ones for breakfast ... Took a while to get any response from anyone as place was deserted but got there in the end ...Tom is doing a grand job but needs help imho. Breakfast ok but basic and wasn't asked what we wanted but dining room needs a clean and they did have a new dog so that comes with it's challenges ... Can't fault location for pleasure beach and south shore and was a late booking .. As I said place needs work and there are basics that are missing so those should be addressed if the are to survive a summer session ...Who place needs TLC but after coming to Blackpool now for 30 year then whole town needs some TLC and Cleaning .

Found property. No response from ringing bell. Entered through front door which was partly open. Shouted, couldn't find anybody present inside but there was a dog shut in a cupboard under the stairs with door ajar. Eventually a couple, apparently living in the property, told us that there had been no hotel business there for years. Whole place is dirty, dingy, rundown, smelly and we wouldn't have stayed even if it was open. Yet it is still listed in Expedia - IT SHOULD BE REMOVED. We didn't pay in advance but anybody who did would probably lose their money.

I have asked Expedia to remove this property from their site. On arrival was taken to a room and somebody was sleeping in the bed in the room allocated for me. I was taken to another room which can only be described as unsafe and filthy the toilet had been used and not flushed And the curtain was hanging off the rail. The carpet was also filthy with debris all over a word of warning Expedia are only limited in what they can do they were unable to affect a refund I booked in at a better hotel around the corner. I recognise this is a cheap hotel But there are minimum standards

Property absolutely filthy not as advertised at all evrrything in the room was disgusting and smelt quiet bad. The staff were friendly but found out of date things at the breakfast and again the things were not clean and we had to ask for things to be washed.

Deeply disappointed

What stay. The hotel cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. It spoiled the start of our holiday If we have to give 48 hours notice why should they cancel with such short notice and no explanation

Cheap and cheerful

We stayed in room 15 right at the top floor, the carpet between the two rooms was soaking wet. The carpet it nailed and screwed down and if you have barefeet it hurts. The mattress on one of the bets had a spring sticking out at the very bottom if you sat there it was sticking in you. The shower pressure is terrible. The curtains had what looked like a cigarette burn hole in them and half hanging off the rail. The only good this was that it was a sea view room
