“cell block S”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2009

Well the web site is nothing like the rooms at all !!! nice hallway spacious bar with owner behind it on laptop with his refreshment !!!! then off to the rooms well NO wallpaper just painted walls looking very cold, quilts so thin maybe 7.5 tog, heating freezing, windows dont close properly, then the shower in dickens ages a little wall to get into it, curtin better ones in £ shops glass holders minus the glass. NO Food avil however it is suppose to be a hotel and not B&B I dont know ? then out for a walk come back at 9pm all closed up just access to your rooms so back out into the night. Breakfast well cornflakes and fruit juice thats the choice then a cooked breakfast but the highlight of breakfast is the tea and toast anyhow maybe revamp for next year who knows but certainly NOT a Hotel a B&B establishment. other places about same price but of greater quality so me and partner will not be going back.

“High Standards”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2009

Once again stayed at Stratford and the Breakfast is very hot and full english breakfast with cereals/juice before and freshly brewed tea.
This rooms are warm and comfortable.
Excellent bar with jukebox and other friendly guests.
Panic because i did not have an iron and asked if I could borrow one little did I know there were a room set aside for Ironing great idea.
The owner and staff make your stay very welcome and i am going with others in october.

“uncomfortable hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2009

On first arrival at the hotel on entrance there was an off putting smell of dogs, the bedroom wasnt anything like the photo on there website very small double room, the bed had seen better days the mattress so uncomfortable and noisy u could feel the springs in your back, and u were frightened to turn over to often for the noise the springs made,The shower in the bathroom was burning hot water with little control it was either red hot or too cold,the only good thing you could say was that the breakfast was good.

“DISGRACE !!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2008

Basically on arrival, we was welcomed by the hotel owner KEN, witch we was begging to be abit warey of as he was trying to giveur 14 year old son alcahol.
Anyway apart from the weird acting, the hotel smells of dog, there was empty sweet rappers over the bedroom floor, even 1 between the sheets.
The breakfast is dreadfull, i can't even imagine the homless wanting to stay there !
I was looking foward to our family weekend n blackpool but was terribly spoiled by this hotel.
I felt dirty, smelly and just couldnt wait to get back home !

If you want my advice go somewhere else, yes it's cheap but there are alot cheaper and better places !
YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED !!!

NEVER GOING TO RETURN !!!

Stayed September 2008
