Was Down For My Sons First Holiday And He Loved It The Staff Was Very Freindly And The Hotel Was Very Clean. The Dog Spence Was So Adorable He Was Gential And Great With Kids Had A Great Time And Would Come Back Also I Would Reccomend This To Others

How dare anyone call the Howard's Crest Hotel in Blackpool shabby and dirty this is the friendliest hotel that you could wish to visit. Janet the owner could not be any friendlier or helpful to her guests, if they have a problem she will do all that she can to resolve it for them.As for Spencer the dog, he does nobody any harm, he is so friendly and docile you would bite him rather than him bite you because he would never hurt anyone, he is good company for Janet the owner as she has MS, but because two people complained she is now distraught thinking that she has to have the dog put down but why should she when it has been 2 people out of all the guests that she has had stay there.
They often have brilliant entertainment with Ben the cabaret singer, plus they do a lovely carvery for £5.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone, but if you want 5 star treatment then please do not expect it here go and pay for 5 star treatment.
Had these people spoken to Janet or the staff they would have resolved any problems that they had with their rooms or any other problem.

Such a shame that what could be a great hotel has been left to rot!! It is very dirty! Our room had a lovely see view which we could just see through the dirt, the toilet and shower smelled like they hadn't seen domestos in a long time, the shower was a trickle but it was hot and the windows are so thin the curtains moved with the draft. Breakfast was OK, but the area they use if serving a buffet was covered in dried in food! The best word for this place is GRUBBY, it needs a good proper clean from top to bottom, the carpets are dirty and badly stained, and a stinking fat dog wanders around the place leaving dog hair behind him. I felt dirty from the minute I arrived till the minute I left. As i said, such a shame as it could be a great place.

The hotel is a glorified b@b.It hasnt been updated in years!there is a dog there which if you dont like the smell of dogs def stay away cos theres dogs hair all over the carpets.staff are ok but more customer care is needed as if you ask for anything they make you feel your a bother.cleaniness is terrible we had the same towels all the week and beds were never made.We WONT be going back and i have been to many lovely hotels but this is not one of them!
