Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets on site, so travellers with animals need to make other arrangements.
  • Inconsistent maintenance — A few guests reported issues like a broken TV, sliding door problems, damp skylights, and water leaks that went unaddressed.
  • Limited on-site facilities — There is no parking mentioned, no breakfast service, and Wi-Fi is only in public areas. Rooms themselves lack extra amenities beyond basics.

“Great location, close to Blackpool centre. For tea or coffee, try the Teapot Cafe nearby. Spotless rooms with basic walls and flooring, and clean bedsheets as described.”

“Our rooms were neat with a private toilet. Early check-in was a bonus, and the atmosphere was family-friendly overall.”

“I had problems with the TV and sliding bathroom door—reported but got little support. Cleanliness was lacking, with damp skylights and water leaks, which added stress to our visit.”
