Disgusting
On arrival we were asked for a £20 deposit but not advised what this related to. On entering the bedroom what we saw was unbelievable the room smelt musty and looked as if it had been untouched since the 1960's. There were 2 single beds that looked clinical with off white looking sheets a single pillow and no duvet. There was a small old wooden unit that looked like it was about to fall apart and the bathroom well it was disgusting. The whole room need a complete redecoration. In addition there was no kettle, tea, coffee, cups, no toiletries to take a shower, a small towel that felt like sandpaper and no tv. The blaring music from downstairs was the final straw. My wife suffers with severe asthma and immediately said we could not stay at the property because of the state of the room so we advised the owner we would not be staying. After requesting the deposit refund we were not offered a refund of the actual cost for the night and were escorted from the premises. A complete nightmare and would not recommend. Our friends were staying at the Norwood Hotel round the corner and we believed this was part of the same chain. How wrong we were and have since been told that many people have made the same mistake. It should be reviewed with hotels having an almost identical name as it is misleading.

There is nothing misleading about 'The Norwood Hotel for Groups' and we reject your comments. We offer basic clean accommodation and that is exactly what was afforded to you.

A nice little hotel
Hotel is in a great location, car park right next door 10 mins walk to beach Owners were awesome, couldnt do enough for you Only single downside is i asked to ask for soap to put in bathroom as they said they didnt supply soap, I found this a bit odd as its a basic hygiene requirement in a toilet, for the cost a small bar would have made this stay spot on Its not the ritz but we arent that way inclined it was somewhere clean and a place to sleep, breakfast was lovely and the people cooking it were dedicated

Cheap little hotel
Booked this last minute for ax night out in Blackpool. Paid £60 for 2 of us Inc breakfast. Room was small and bathroom even smaller, shower cubicle was tiny but it was OK for 1 night. Water in shower alternated from hot to cold and didn't keep constant so not brilliant. It was a cold october night so heating was turned up to full but i still woke up cold, could have done with another duvet on but didn't know if they would give me another one. Slept in my hoody and leggings to keep warm. Staff were friendly and attentive and the breakfast was really good, plenty of food for you to help yourself to and very tasty. Parking was round the side of the hotel and was £8.40 for 24 hours. All in all it was a cheap hotel , good enough for a couple of nights. Was very clean although room was a little run down
