Top Thornton-Cleveleys Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton Blackpool

8/10 Good

"4 star"

The Imperial Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"This was the second and last time we stayed at this hellhole, the room was dirty, a sea view but you can't see out of the window , it was that dirty, I asked several times for it I be cleaned , for my sheets to be changed and room cleaned , and they didn't , £360 for two nights for this level of service. The radiators are on all day and all night full blast in the room, this is no exaggeration. The TV or remote doesn't work and is about 20 years old, I can not understand how it can be this bad and still run as a business, I feel like I've been scammed . There's a kids play room in the basement, the door handle is hanging off if a kid ran to that door and lost balance they have there eye out. Its laughable they've don't nothing to rectify the poor service in anyway, when I spoke to the manager when we were leaving he wasn't in anyway sympathetic or concerned about all the problems we had, just gave me another email address and totally passed the book as as did every member of staff I spoke to all weekend. Do not waste your money and do not stay at this hotel, worst hotel experience of my life, will never visit again Warning to anyone thinking of visiting Blackpool, just have a look about and avoid this place like the plague"

Barton Manor Hotel & Spa, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we arrived till we checked out this hotel delivered. Lovely welcome on arrival, spacious clean room. Comfortable bed, handy fridge, sofa. Delicious buffet breakfast. My preferred eggs were not in the buffet but asked and they were provided no problem. Evening meal was delicious too. Waiting staff very pleasant and helpful. Spa facilities were great. You pay £10 for use of the facilities. Well worth it. Loved the heated beds. Plenty treatments on offer too. Take £1 coin for the lockers. Hotel is set in lovely grounds and is very central for touring the area. Preston 30 mins by bus (no's 40&41) where you can catch a bus or train to many places. Not far from Blackpool, Liverpool, the Lakes, the Dales. We would highly recommend this hotel and would return if in the area."

Thurnham Hall Resort

10/10 Excellent

"They have multiple buildings on the property. We had 2 rooms, not in the same building. Both were excellent, but one was superior and also had a washer/dryer. They were the same price, but room 30, was much more convenient, than the rooms in the 40’s. Longer walk and up a tight stairwell. Besides that, both rooms were great. Very spacious and convenient. Restaurant was full and no other dining options close by, so that was unfortunate. Our fault for booking last miniute though."
