“Great if you like Melamine!”

Chadwick Hotel & Leisure Centre

16 Nov 2007

The Chadwick's Website gives the impression of a boutique kind of hotel: 'Best Small Hotel" awards and all that. The trouble is that it won the award a long time ago - and it shows. We changed the first room we were allocated as access to the shower was poor, there was a hole in the plasterwork and the single beds had springs that could be felt through the bedding!

A 2nd room was better - with an extra bed - but there were still problems. The bathroom had missing sealant and gaps in the grout. Like other rooms, white melamine with gold ornament was the rule. The paper was textured, overpainted and desperately needing refurbishment. Extra bedding included a nice, vivid, pink nylon quilt...not seen since the 60s. One member of staff [we left a complant] was brusque to the point of rudeness [I'm from Blackpool and do understand the difference between directness and this].

Good things:
The Leisure Centre [completely inaccessible btw to disabled people] has a superb pool/sauna etc - but only accessible by 2 flights of steep stairs. How this conforms to DDA legislation, I have no idea.
The cleaning staff - simply brilliant. They make the very tired rooms acceptable.
The Manx kippers were terrific - the general breakfast was very ho hum: untoasted toast, ration of 2 plastic pots of marmalade per couple etc.

It's so nearly a really good hotel. The fact is though, at approx £90 per night, per room, it's not cheap: more importantly - it's not good value either.

“Disappointed”

Chadwick Hotel & Leisure Centre

3 Oct 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

After staying at the Chadwick many times we have been bitterly disappointed with our last stay. We stayed in a "family room" which was very cramped. It was also damp with peeling wallpaper at the window sill that was covered in water. Due to the damp wallpaper there was a musty smell in the room, not at all healthy for young children. The shower in the bathroom was ill-fitted and constantly dripping, and although these faults were reported at the time, nothing was rectified. The wardrobes and chest of drawers also had loose handles. The food in the hotel was good, not at all as good as on previous visits though. The hotel had a tired feeling, although the staff were very friendly and attentive, there was a feeling that the hotel was very understaffed. We informed the hotel as soon as we got home of the complaints, and we received a 10% discount of our next stay, but I do not think we will be cashing it in.

1/2 found this review helpful

We stayed here for a couple of nights in a family room with a sea view. The room was a good size, with a double bed and a full sized single bed for our daughter (aged 7) . We had a TV and tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Our room was large, bright and clean, although a little old-fashioned. There were some good facilities at the hotel for families:-a small gym; a games room with soft play area and table tennis; and a swimming pool. The pool was lovely and warm, and never crowded. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals, which were traditional and tasty. Just enough to do in the local area - a small park, crazy golf, trampolines and a few souvenir shops. Shops in town looked quite good, but didn't get chance to see them closely. Would definitely go again.

4/4 found this review helpful

Have just returned from a lovely few days break from this hotel.
The Staff can not do enough for you especially the girls on Reception. Good Luck to the two pregnant ones. (must be something in their water).
The food is very traditional and excellent portions. The rooms have just been referbished and more work is being done.
We would definately recommend this hotel and be staying there again.
Fantastic location just far enough away from Blackpool hussle an bustle. But local transport available near by.
