Come home today from an over night stay which Im so glad to be back in my own bed.
Pros
Close to sea front.
Clean sheets. Very white
Cheap- family of 6 two rooms 87 pound
Fresh towels. Crisp need a bit of conditioner but frest.
Clean bathroom. It was at all dirty a little smelly but overall okay
Hot beverages in room. Milk needs to be fresh though. My cup of tea taste vile with plastic milk.
Cons
1 - This hotel does not stand up to its name. I mean royal! Theres no royal in it. It's shabby to look at. It's a very large place which such big empty rooms and decor that's not seem a paint brush for a while or if it did they decorator should of gone to specsavers
2 - people smoking weed and skinning up In front of my kids. I didn't say anything I just took them away quickly but they did inhale so.excited which I wasn't happy about. Theyou should be away from the entrance.
3 - I know it's an old place but wow the floors were so cheeky goingredients up stairs. If you put on nice thick carpet it will take away some of the notice. Not all of it but some.
4 - rooms well small and tv on my wall was a but dangerous. The wire was habeing out the back and it had to be held in to work so that didn't go on. It was clean but the lock on the door wasnt good. I didn't leave stuff in when out and even worried when kids were asleep. About some easily opening it.
5 - firetrap hazard. We were right at the top and I would not want to think about how we get out?? This is just me this thinking about our safety you will have you own views on that one.
6 - wifi very poor up stairs. They have guest 1 and guest. I understand it's high up but surely it shouldbt keep buffering. I asked if they had fibre and they said yes it's the box but I know they couldn't of as it wouldn't need two wifi passwords to work. Change it and make it more powerful for families at the top.
7 - breakfast was okay. Only continental but had toast, cornflakes, musli, eggs boiled, sliced cheese, Jams. Hot drinks. I asked server how do we go about have cooked breakfast - you pay me 3 pound I give you hot breakfast. But night before we were told not a problem he's put us down. Room was very old, cold and dull. Clean tables but it's just out dated. Another toaster would be a good idea or why not serve toast on request as the que was stupid as your toasters are slow
7 - I was glad to leave at 9.30 this morning. Won't get returning going to spend an extra 80 pound a night to hopefully get less cons but if you want cheap with no special extras then go there but if you like to feel your sleeping in a hotel you'd gladly go back this isn't one you should click.
I stopped there this October half term me and two kids they loved it friendly staff they known on ur door when it's room service the room was nice and big the shower was gd and the heating was on the bar is friendly two pool tables would recommend to a friend and would stay there again it's right in town center right behind coral island with is perfect if u have kids
this hotel was booked for a stag night on 30/09/2017 for a group of 12 men. On arriving at 11am they were told that they couldn't book in till 2pm, however they allowed us to place luggage in one of the reserved rooms. the room smelt musty and damp. After the bags had been placed in room the Party then went back downstairs to be informed that they would have to pay £20 per person extra as a deposit in case of damage to room, which would be refunded the day after before we left, and after the rooms had been checked. we then went into Blackpool centre. We returned to the Hotel around 5pm to watch the football and have something to eat. we were told that the resturant was closed. when we went to our rooms to change for night we were unable to shower as there was no hot water. later that night on our return to the hotel we realised that one of our group had a key to one of the rooms and no one knew were he was. One of the owners then opened the door with a crow bar damaging the casing, all of which was caught on the cctv system installed in the Hotel. the following morning when we went to get our deposit's back they refused to pay the full amount saying we had damaged the door. they kept back £40 of our money.
Terrible place. Booked for 2 adults and 2 children but gave us a small room with two single beds. No parking facilities at all, not even on close by streets due to this we had to cancel staying as had no where to safely leave our car overnight and was not offered a refund whatsoever. Avoid completely.
Definitely don't bring young children here the rooms and main reception are disgusting there is black mould on walls and mildew in the shower they clean the tables with toxic winfow cleaner and the rooms with bleach both violating health and safety laws. The staff are very rude, a couple was sent to hospital because of an accident due to the rooms
When entering the hotel we didn't receive a hello just a can you sign this? Room was really small and so was the bathroom. There were no coat hooks in the bedroom. Also the bathroom was tiny and again no hooks for towels or storage space for toiletries. When we booked it said breakfast was included however it was only continental and not full english. However this was not specified when booking (that I can recall). We werent able to stay in the hotel due to a family emergency but from what we saw we wouldn't stay or recommended this hotel.
When we got there we didn't even get a hello or anything. Just 'sign this form' our room was terribly small. Prison cells are bigger and better equipped. We will never stay here again and would never recommended it to a friend.
Abserloutley poor would not recommend to anyone. Rooms were cold and heating wernt turnd on was given broken portable heater as alternative. Smelt funny. Beds poor, uncomfterble and springs poking through. Shower heads were to high for any decent use. Staff just walk in to rooms without knocking. Rooms were very un welcoming.
Woke up by smoke detector in the night, no where to park, crap breakfast but considering it was the cheapest b&b we could find it was reasonable the double bed was comfortable and we had a nice veiw of the tower from the skylight when laid in bed.
