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

As its under new ownership they're finding their feet, needs a bit of life breathing into the place. Needs new toilet seats and shower heads and a lick of paint. VJ was very helpful and accommodating, he even bought pizza for the kids. I would happily stay again in the future, perfectly situated opposite south pier

Typical blackpool hotel this could be a greatvplace with some investement and a cleanup the location as we were visiting the pleasure beach was superb it also wasnt too noisy and the landlord was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with we were given a fan due tonthe heat over the weekend and offered a second cooling unit if required given a space to park vith vehicle's too which is a huge plus for the location overalln8d stay again 😀
