Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel in Blackpool was a mixed experience. The rooms were much better than expected, but they were small and not very clean. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were some issues with courtesy and timeliness. The location was fantastic, close to key attractions, but the noise from the kitchen extraction unit was a significant drawback. The dining experience left much to be desired, with service and breakfast quality falling short. Overall, there were highs and lows during my stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms felt more like singles than small doubles, and the shower pressure was quite low. The reception area had stained carpets, though everything was clean overall. It wouldn't be suitable for a long stay, but it served its purpose for a short visit.
I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the room was equipped with a travel black-out blind, which was a lifesaver with my three young kids. However, there were some notable drawbacks like the lack of a hairdryer in the room, uncomfortable sleeping arrangements with a double bed pushed against the wall, and the inconvenience of having to boil water for a shave due to no hot water. The breakfast was subpar, and the Wi-Fi signal was only accessible around the reception area. It pains me to say this as I've had great experiences with other Royal hotels in the past.
