4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2007

my friends and i stayed there for a hen night, was a brilliant night, the lady that ownes it is so helpfull and friendly, breakfast was superb, although they usually serve breakfast early they didi it a little later than usual for us as we asked very nicely, id recomend it to couples, hens, stags even families, they make sure everyone is very well looked after.

“[--] rotten!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2007

following the 2 other reviews, i was there and thought id died and gone to hell! filthy sheets, no door on so called en -suite, puzzled at why the hand basin was next to bed and not in en-suite so unable to shave, no hot water after 6pm. great when your wanting to go out for the night, mould everywhere, windows never seen a drop of clean water or winowlene! breakfast comprised of the cheapest ingredients known to man and dog, am sure their 4 dogs wouldnt of eaten the reheated/regurgetated mass of items served with pride! confused by the smell in vestibule, cleaning products and bleach are strangers to the so called guest house! can now see why it was the only place with vacancies! bollywood indian music played at full volume the first nite, so loud that the owner had to shut the bar door and take us to the vestibule to have a conversation, strange when it was only her son in the bar! at £25 pppn v expensive esp when 3 in a room, the place has no rating - no wonder!!! felt dirtier after having a shower using a brown stained old towel, had to go and buy a towel!!! the place needs gutting or a match taking to it! cant beleive people arent too ashamed to offer this kind of accommodation, happy days is definately the RIGHT name for the hotel as your day times are spent away from the hotel!!!! happy days ([--] nights - quite literally by the stains on every available surface) - guests will leave thinking...IM A HUMAN....GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!.

“Happy Days Hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2007

After reading the other review on the ironically named 'Happy Days' Hotel, I felt compelled to add to the grotty tale of grease, stench and utter filfth that was our one night stay in the 'how have Kim and Aggy missed this one?' hotel.

As a party of 6 we appreciated how difficult it would be to find a B&B that would accomodate us all given the poor reputation of groups in Blackpool, so to be fair we weren't expecting much - they do say you get what you pay for but I didn't realise that grot was bought by the pound.

We arrived to find that they had double booked and had done their best to 'squeeze' us in - little did we realise that that meant putting up beds in the cellar, with no door, where the dogs slept! -No, really, wet sweaty dogs, no window, no door and it was either one 100 watt bulb on, or complete and utter jungle darkness - fear factor I kid you not.

We had one toilet between 6 of us, and 2 crusty towels were laid on the double bed, questions had to be asked throughout about what hair it was we had found next, dog/pube/human - who knows!

The bar was not stocked as apparently lads had cleaned it out the day before - and what no one stocks the next day?

We were promised that the bar would be open when we got back - 1.30am arrived, no bar, told to be quiet and basically go to bed. The four sleeping in the cellar had to go past the dogs - Rottweiller included and go downstairs to the pit. I had no pillow just a manky old duvet with questionnable stains, and nubins where feet were growing as it was determined to make it to the washing machine by Christmas.

The darkness was frightening, and knowing that the dogs were upstairs - wandering around the kitchen!! - did little to induce a peaceful nights sleep.

One of us got up in the night to find that the landlady was laying on the couch, she got up like someting out of Thriller, scaring the living daylights out of us - so everytime one got up, she was woken too.

To bring this to a close, I can concur that the flea, on previous posting is still there and has found friends, we did not have breakfast either.

Don't let the name fool you, 'Happy' it is not, only the daft pair running it are laughing at the naive tourists looking for a bed for the night - no improvements or relevant cleaning has been done on this place in years, and as a result they must be rubbing their grubby mits together all the way to the bank.

Arrived to the smell of chipfat and grease and shown up to our room whilst being told "I dont know what state the room is in" as we headed up the dusty carpeted stairs. Room had 1 double and one single bed.

Pillow cases distinctly smelt of sweat, sheets had pubic hair on them and although tuppaware with tea/coffee and dirty spoons, no milk was provided (not thaat you would have risked drinking from the cups!!) Into the Bathroom (door had no lock)and no complimentries apart from a loo roll that had been loo-water soaked and dried in all its crinkled glory, a shower with shower door thickly coated in grime and a selection of urine still up the back of the toilet on the pipes.

ALSO - AND I WRITE AND WRETCH - None other than a poo mark on the wall just above the loo roll holder (obviously someones finger had gone through the paper on a previous stay - and believe me, it wasnt a recenty poo mark! How Crusty is that!) After arriving back from a days pubbing, drinking in sweaty bars rammed cos of the rugby we all delaighted to arrive back to prepare for a night out, shower, change etc and recieve the news that freshening up was not an option and no-one could shower unless willing to shower in cold water as...and I quote "room 12 have used all the hot water!!!" Consequently, being the middle of october, we had to improvise by boiling the kettle, mixing with cold water and washing as best we could - however, 3 to a room and 3 to a kettle, we werer still washing in tepid water some 1hour 15 mins later!!

There was no iron available so 80% of the party set out for the night creased and wrinkled as well as only partially wiped down - and to add insult to injury, the door to the dining/welcome area was not open for us to question the scruffy looking and somewhat potty landlady - infact, she only had the cheek to appear as our taxi arrived and we were waiting outside the crummy dive!

We were given no explanation for any of the poor service!!

Also, dont be fooled by the advertising or fall for the tempting promise of central heating as there was not a drop of heat - even when the temperature plummeted at 2am there was no sign of heat...adding to the fact you darnt get under the crusty bed covers so opted to lay on the top of the bed on top of a piece of our own clothing, Hypothermia was a possibility! The rooms were all in all Dusty, smelly, damp (one of the rooms hosted a delicious large and ugly looking damp patch over the bed) - Another room hosted a bathroom the size of a shoebox with no door on it and another one had net curtains so dirty and unwashed they qwere crunbling to dust at the touch!

The final straw was when one guest spotted a small black blot on her forearm and on closer examination quickly flicked it off as it was a FLEA!! URRRRGH! Sick!!

Needless to say, nobody ate breakfast for fear of untimely death! The cheeky Jipppo's had the cheek to charge £25 pppn and we had to pay upfront - oh, you do get a packet of midget gems or mcvities mini choc digestives on top of your pre-stained hand towel by way of a welcome!!!!

DONT RISK IT - IT COULD QUITE LITERALLY DAMPEN YOUR WEEKEND!!! FILTHY, FOUL AND FAR FROM FRESH FACILITIES!

If you want to risk it - get immunizede first - seriously!!!! Happy Dayz? HAPPY DERMOTITUS! This hotel is a definite front runner for top view on rotten.com

Pics to follow - will update!
