Certainly not one of the friendlist hotels we've ever been to, we had to prise any info we needed as we were handed the room key. Good start. Couldn't even tell you the owners name (I think he was anyway?) as he never introduced himself or acknowledged us for rest of our 5 day stay. Our 'family' room had a... more

There have been some changes of late with regards to the Oak lea hotel on Albert road and not for the better. The bar closes around 10.30/11pm even when full of guests! the meals are bland and I was assured when booking that wi-fi was available throughout, this proved not to be so. When I asked for the Wep-Key the... more

One morning we arrived down at 8.55 to be told that there was no food left as a coach trip was leaving and they had eaten it all. The owner also... more

Stayed here for Blackpool Magic Convention, the hotel is spotless i had a large room on the front all the rooms seem to be identically decorated, it is ideally located right in the town centre and the full buffet breakfast is to die for, the last time i had a breakfast like this i paid a lot more in a... more

Oh my goodness........ please be careful when booking this hotel, 1 . Look at the room BEFORE you pay. 2 . There is no parking so don't be fooled by the receptionist, who makes you pay before imparting the magic words PARKING is on HOUNDS HILL shopping centre, £13 for less than 24 hours. 3. Make SURE the room you... more
