Staff were friendly, rooms spacious, food was good
Slow check in, room carpet very dirty stains and not vacuumed and was not even vacuumed for the 2 days we were there, beds not made very well around the building is just full of litter. Plus points good size room and big bathroom lots of tv channels but tv is small. Reception is nice area bar area nice.
The staff were extremely helpful. The hotel very grand being built in 1867 and you can still imagine the guest's including many famous people walking the hallways

Great hotel, stayed here twice now. An old hotel that is a bit dated but excellent service, clean rooms, a great breakfast and close to all the attractions.
We had a three night stay to see the Blackpool Illuminations and it couldn't be better. A lovely old world hotel, beautiful public rooms and spacious bedroom and en=suite bathroom. The restaurant offers attractive well presented meals while the bar has smaller plates. Thoroughly recommend
Staff super friendly,room spotless although the window rattled in the high winds. Good choice of cereals, cooked breakfast,croisants, mini cakes ,fruit juices tea, coffee ,brown or white toast and even a pancake machine. The hotel is pet friendly but you cannot take them into the entertainment room which didnt help me ,my dog is an assistant dog and i need him with me at all times.would i stay here again,most definitely.
