we stayed in this hotel my friend and I for a couple of nights what a dump, for starters the bedrooms were like something out of the stone age no central heating, dirt stains on the toilets and used cup facilities left from previous residents. Beds and pillars were rock solid three more nights we would of died of starvation as the meals were crap one big plate of slop. Service was terrible would not go back even if you paid me advice to future guests run a mile to the promonade and get yourself decent accommodation well worth it as this place is a dump.

We arrived on the Friday night to be greeted by "Mick The Braces". He is possibly the most annoying man in the entire world. He's loud, brash and just ruddy annoying, he has a story for everything.

The hotel is a long way out from the centre, but we knew that before it was booked, so can't really complain about that.

The rooms we small dank and awful. There were 4 guys in our room, 2 in bunk beds, two in a double, not the most comfortable accommodations, though everyone did get to know each other much better by the end of the weekend.

The bathroom, we were one of the lucky rooms that actually had on suite, was very small with no lock on the door, so make sure your not too bashful.

After eating a breakfast made in their kitchen which has the dog running around in it, most people didn't eat there again on the second morning, though the local cafe did a booming trade.

The bar is tiny, with a pool table in which means that with more than about 3 people standing there you get in each others way. Costs, well cans of carling (nearly £3.00), are extortionate.

I cannot really get across how much this place sucks, the only saving grace was the fact blackpool is a ruddy good night out.

AVOID.

Stayed in the Holme Lea Hotel 3 - 6 October 2008 and found this
hotel a DUMP. There is no other word for it. There were stains on the carpets. stains on the seats and a dog run round the kitchen whilst the good ole "mick the braces" cooked the so called breakfast. I didn't even dare look at the state of the mattresses, but the thought of getting into the bed made me sick. The so called en-suite rooms well thats another laugh you had to sit on the toilet seat side ways because it was so cramped. We requested various rooms as there was 22 of us on a week-end away, one of the rooms we were given had a set of bunk beds and a single bed, we were three fellas and it was quite funny when one of us had to try and climb into the top bunk.
Needless to say the other rooms weren't quite up to standard either. I will never stay here again or recommend anyone else to go the the place. It was a total waste of money

Any Hotel that is prepared to put up with the Stag and Hen party antics is not going to be 5 star. Whilst I would not recommend this hotel for a holiday it is adequate for crashing out after heavy night of drinking (if you can manage to climb into the bunk beds provided in certain rooms). 'Mick the Braces' was very helpful and made every one feel welcome. A television, pool table and dart board were the only in house entertainment but no one went to stay in the hotel.
