We didn't even unpack and left due to damp, moldy, smelly room, water damaged stained floor in bathroom. The room we booked was not the room we were given the photos used on Expedia are probably from the previous owner as they look nothing like it inside. Aweful. Makes me question using Expedia as they can't have checked the state of the place!

One image says it all. Avoid at all costs. The hotel smells of mould/ damp as you walk in. I was told I had the best room. Hotel think it’s completely acceptable to let a child sleep next to a mouldy bed. Bed linen dirty. Walked out of the hotel, was told I could get a refund only for them to retract once I disputed with hotels.com

2/10 Poor

This hotel made me and my children sick both mentally and physically. When we entered the area, the building itself looked desheveled and almost abandoned. It was disgusting. The entrance was locked, and a poorly dressed man had to come open the door for us. Upon entering, a wave of an unatural and unpleasant scent stuck us. An ancient elevator (which probably violated many safety regulations) took us up to the third floor, where black mold and and holes could be seen in every nuck and crevace of the hotel (if it can even be called that). The room we stayed at looked nothing like what was advertised. The smell somehow worsened in the room. While there were towels and pillows provided, they were disgusting and stained with who-knows-what. The blackents and duvets looked and smelt as if they hadn't been washed since the "hotel" was first opened and the tv which looked more like and ipad on the wall beared worked. The socets in the room were covered in mold and electrical tape. Blood was smeared across the bathroom and the showered only produced cold water. Worst of all there were bugs found when we lifted the blanket. I felt sick to my stomach. Both my son and my daughter vomited. 10/10 worst hotel experience of my life.

Crawling with bed bugs
On arrival nobody was there jst a phone number. He arrived after 5 minutes and took us to our room whilst on the phone in another language. He opened the door and left. The room was basic which is fine. The room was filthy, the cups full of grime. The worst part was the bed bugs!!! We approached the owner who said the room has been cleaned!! NEVER! We was out of there with no refund! Having to find another hotel at 3pm in the afternoon!! Absolute hell hole

High Prices, Low Quality.
This has got to be the worst property i have dtayed in, whilst booking through Hotels.Com. On arrival you have to ring a number that is on the door and someone comes and lets you in. This is where the fun started. I confirmed who I was and that i had booked 2 rooms, the gentlemen argues i had booked 1 room for 4 adults and 1 child. I showed emails from Hotels.com with the booking conformation for 2 rooms and the proce i had paid. He still argued i had booked 1 toom through Bookings.com which i did not. I asked to get my miney back if they were not giving me 2 rooms and he soon found 2 rooms for us. The rooms were not the best in cleanliness, there was NO hot water for a shower in the morning in both rooms we booked. The towels were clean which was a positive. The continetal breakfast was cereal, boiled eggs and toast, we skipped this and went to a cafe around the corner. Parking the Car is £10 which was another added extra thats not advertised when booking this property. I have never gave a bad review on a property i have booked with Hotels.Com in about 10yrs, But i feel this needs identifying to potential new guests that are looking for a place to stay in Blackpool. Please look to book elsewhere that you are appreciated staying at.

Only if you want to waste money and spolie you trp
I booked for 4 ppl including my wife and two kids, room and lobbies were smelly, staff was not aware that i have booking, he gave the keys for some room.and left. I seached the room and found that it has just one single bed and one double. My son started feeling sick in the room in 5 mins, i requsted to provide that proper room but staff said no rooms available.when i booked it says hotel has parking but there was no parking available. I was so frustrated thst i left the keys in the reception and left, after all this hotel has refused to refund my money.so never go for this hotel.

Do not book this hotel.
Upon arrival the hotel was locked. There was a mobile number on the door which we rang, there was no answer. Eventually someone turned up and opened the door. When we walked in to the reception/bar area it looked like the hotel had been shut for years. The decor, smell and overall appearance was disgusting. The gentleman muttered something about cleaning some rooms for us but we made the decision tonleave the premises. Both inside and outside of the building were in a state of really bad repair and there was no way we could have stayed there.

The place stinks, afterwards my clothes smelt of the place. The room, there was bricks & other debris on the one bed, no towels provided. The other room could be entered without the need of a key. Arrived at 3pm, breakfast items still out, juice, milk, bread. Most unpleasant experience ever, expedia need to remove these places from the choices.
