Maybe we have just been lucky because we've stayed at the hotel twice now, in different rooms and both times have been very pleased with the hotel and all the other reviews do not at all fit with our experience. The rooms we have stayed in have been very nice and clean, not luxurious but exactly what you would expect...

Thanks for your review, I'm sure your comments are shared by 1000's of our weekend clients. It's usually only the unhappy customers that make the effort.
We have started opening our hotel up for midweek business at a very low rate but wasn't sure how a basic budget hotel without the frills would go down with families and couples. So...

We paid £25 each to stay in a room where all you have is 2 single beds and a sink & bin. No where to hang your clothes or even a bedside cabinet. The base of the beds has clearly been broken in the past and the whole place could do with a huge face lift. I'm sorry but this...

Seems like this guest stayed in the annex where all the rooms vary in size and have shared facilities - this is used mainly for 1 night stays. The main hotel next door is where you get the party atmosphere. We are continually striving to improve the gr8 but due to the nature of our groups it will never have...

having arrived on the friday we were greeted by staff who in their fairness were helpful and friendly. However the rooms were very poor considering we paid the 20 pound damage deposit each we got in to the room to find a broken bed which we never reported more fool us. Cant fault the hotel for being the sort of...

Yes we do collect a damage deposit from groups, which we give back on the vast majority of occaisions. The proceedure is simple on the morning of departure a staff member looks at the rooms to make sure no damage has been made then the deposits are returned. If damage has been caused a tarriff chart advises the guest how...

Hate campaign! We have had a broken shower (fixed), not as this person would imply loads of showers hanging off and beds do break after the weekends but repaired or replaced by Friday (that's the nature of the hotel, people aren't maliciuos when they break beds just boisterous). As for bugs, in most hotels and houses there are times in...

Would not recomend this to anyone, the hotel is disgusting, beds broke, showers falling off do not go here find somewhere else!

OK lets get this straight!
A radiator was pulled maliciously off the wall causing a mess above reception. The group was asked to leave. This is the result of retaliation. Fact we are town centre location 2 mins from the tower - and they gave 1 out of 5 for this - it is so obvious!

Me and a group of friends had booked 2 nights in June, we have stayed in some very basic places before so thought this would do us for the weekend. Once we seen the state of the place we went straight out for the night then came back and left rather than stay another night which we had already paid...

It was probably raining as well!!
I believe this is a geniune disgruntled guest but disagree with the severity of the comments - how can you feel the party atmosphere when you went straight out?. Obiously the weekend didn't go as planned and we happen to be the scapegoat.
It seems the managers haven't allowed time for many repairs that...

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights mid week and would just like to say that the reviews that this hotel have received from guests who quite clearly must have checked the reviews before booking are unfair and clearly expecting something this hotel doesn't even claim to offer.
The rooms although slightly run down and very basic, are...

It amuses me that that manager of this hotel has replied to several comments in 2009/10 stating that the hotel is due a refurb, well i think he got that wrong too! We thought for a druken weekend this hotel would be the ticket. Fact is it's tired and dirty
When all you want is a bed to rest your...

It also amuses me that there are some guests who say they don't care if they stay in standard rooms but really want the best hotels. Next time book the travel lodge.
The GR8 is named for it's party atmosphere, location and the way the staff deal with groups of people who want to enjoy themselves.
We have done a...

clearly not on the health and safety radar-broken floor tiles in the shower, which incidently were barely working. beds, (bunk) were as cheap as cheap could be. Very rowdy clientele showing no consideration for others. clientele at time of visit appeared high.. this seemed acceptable. if you must stop in blackpool, think twice.
More
We are a party hotel and as such clientes can get rowdy at times, the hotel has a number of well experienced staff who know the difference from guests having a good time and guests who are loosing control. As a party hotel we are stricly regulated by health and safety. Sometimes guests (usually worse for wear) cannot work the...

At least there wasn't a rat in the bathroom.
Better than some have said, I've stayed in far worse thanks to my friend mike.
Good location and parking over the road.
