We booked our hotel over the telephone a couple of months prior to going, we go to blackpool 3/4 times per year and always expect a "Run of the Mill, Blackpool hotel!!!" But on arrival to this one, the windows were rotten and a dog was sitting in the window, we walked up the couple of steps and looked at... more

We have read the reviews that other people have left but would like to say the Hotel is clean and the staff are very helpfull. We even got free entry wristbands to night clubs and bars which saved us £10 each. When we stayed at the GR8 Hotel the room was small but it was very clean and tidy no... more

There seems to be extreme reviews...both positive and negative. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. This is not the place to stay if you're expecting quiet with homely decor. But if you're in Blackpool for a party then it works! It's located within a couple of hundred yards from the Tower and associated bars and clubs. You've got fish... more

It seems that a staff error has made this guest very bitter. Policy is for larger groups - a £20 damage deposit is required but will be available on departure. Most groups who do depart early normally give advanced warning so that staff arrangements can be made.. I believe this group actually stayed next door, which could have caused some...

We had travelled up with no booking so really we could have ended up anywhere but we came across this hotel and glad we found it. Near to nightlife and opposite to public car park but cheaper car parks can be found elsewhere. We booked two rooms one was to be shared between three and one twin. The shared room... more

Just got back from a stag weekend and stayed at this hotel. It was absolutely brilliant! We had a lovely warm welcome from Liam and Marcia and it's very central, so not far to go for a night out. Would definately come here again more
