“Just the job”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2012

We stayed here for a stag do. The relaxed / party atmosphere was exactly what we needed. Good value for money, breakfast included. No complaining people, and a late bar is perfect (although got in after the bar had closed both nights).
The rooms are small and could do with a little TLC and the shower was a drip but for a group of lads having their first weekend in Blackpool, it was perfect. Location is spot on too.
Please do not stay hear as a fmaily or for a romantic weekend.

“Easter getaway”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2012

Booked in all in inclusive. They ran out of drink. Foreign woman was were extremely rude. Manageress and barman had a big row. Manageress was extemly irate and the barman not much better. Felt really uncomfortable with this. More importantly this is the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in. Smelly, laminate flooring all covered in stains, breakfast room so smelly. Staff all grubby and dirty looking. Showers a joke,

It's going to be difficult to be curteous and it seems only the reviewer can throw accusations and insults about.

They say that some comments can be ignored - as so much of these comments are untrue I would say this is one of them.

To say that the bar ran out of drink is ridiculous maybe a particuar drink but there was £1000's worth of drink left for other guests and the all inclusives.

My main concern is for the young waitresses how can you say this about them I just hope the parents or themselves don't read your comments - you have upset quite a few people. I hope it's made you feel better even if it's at the expense of others feelings.
