Tired hotel and room
Booked a superior double room. Room and hotel in need of some TLC. Hair in the shower so didn’t use it. Bathroom taps need cleaned. Dirty walls. Room smelled like cigarette smoke despite signs saying guests not to smoke due to highly sensitive smoke detectors. Room looked as if it hadn’t been serviced in a while. Really dusty. Bed was soft and comfortable. Couldn’t open window as handle was very stiff and crumbling so didn’t want to chance it incase it broke! Only “superior” aspect of the room was that it had a view of the tower. On a noisy street (people shouting). There is a photo on the hotel.com website of a lovely communal are/room, we didn’t see if it or be offered access to it.

Lovely stay
The owners were absolutely lovely during our stay, i had a meltdown over a key i thought i missed yet she remained calm and explained how i probably left it in the room which i did, and i was ever so grateful. The room was lovely for a budget price and definitely would recommend.

Place was filthy. Website is false advertising as there is no breakfast etc available nor is there a lovely reception area as shown on the website that room is no longer available also there is no where to leave your luggage if you arrive early or leave depart later than 10am. Only positive thing about this hotel is the internet it was very good.

Hotel in blackpool
The bed was super comfy and the owners were super nice people. Room was maybe a little dated but I’m wasn’t worried about that because I only ever used it to sleep and I was out for most of the day and night. Price is excellent for staying here too, I was there 6 nights and got a very good deal on it. Would 100% stay here again if the opportunity arose

We appreciated the friendly reception we received despite this being a late booking. The proximity to the winter gardens was also great for our gig. However, we were very disappointed in the cleanliness. The room was filthy. Dubious stains on bed sheets and towels, detritus under beds. Mould in bathroom. No evidence of the room having been cleaned recently at all. Hence we did not feel comfortable sleeping in the bedding, did not sleep well and sadly were glad to leave in the morning. We cannot recommend this accommodation. Considering the lack of cleanliness and hygiene the room was extremely expensive.

You get what you pay for.
With the price and the details given about the room in the description i wasn't expecting luxury so i wasn't overly upset when i was shown my room. It certainly was 'basic' and i wouldn't recommend that room if your looking for anything other than a place to sleep. It could definitely do with a freshening up but at least the bed was comfy tho a bit creaky! Limited interaction with the owners but they both seemed pleasant and fairly helpful. Wouldn't book that room again but location great so might consider one of their better rooms if my usual hotels not available again.

Don’t bother
Hotel cost £150 for one night expected better for the price. Not worth that by any stretch of the imagination. Bathroom was awful dirty grout and the shower was not powerful enough. Husband scraped a load of dust from top of headboard as soon as we got in the room.

The proprietors of this hotel are the nicest couple you could meet. There was a slight issue with one of our party having an urgent requirement, which they dealt with incredibly professionally and it meant the rest of the trip could carry on for the remaining party without significant incident.

Cheap,basic,friendly owners,1 night kind of place
Booked the hotel VERY last minute - it’s a very basic, cheap hotel but fine to stay for a night. Owners very friendly and accommodating. First arrived and wondered how to check in as no check in desk, bell or anything similar but a quick knock on the door and the owner came out. We was informed that we had booked the shared bathroom - something I overlooked and noticed as we got there! I was dreading it once I did notice but the shared facilities were clean and appeared to only be shared between 2 rooms so it was okay. Room very basic but if you want somewhere to just get your head down then you are fine. Additional touch of the tea/coffee and the little toiletries in the room made things more accommodating. I would stay again as a last minute somewhere to literally sleep kind of place but anything more, I would look elsewhere. It’s a cheap, basic, dated hotel but with friendly owners and clean.

New year's eve
Although the owners were welcoming, the cleanliness of the hotel wasn't what we expected. The hotel's photo on website needs up dating as it's an old photo and the hotel appears to now be a different cokour! We were disappointed with cleanliness of our room , it smelt a little fusty there was dust on walls and in air vents. The mattress was also very uncomfortable needs up dating could feel every spring, we used the single quilt off the single bed as a mattress topper. We stayed with other friends who all had issues with their rooms. If it hadn't have been new years eve we would have moved to a different hotel.

Okay for a pit stop
Stayed for one night and our party took up most of the rooms. We had probably the only comfy bed and one woman said she had not slept at all and could feel every spring in the bed. I couldn't have a shower and the bathroom really needs gutting. Dirty grout, even the carpets felt sticky. No food provided either
