    It looks like a place for people on benefits that need emergency accommodation. That is not intended to be a mean comment because as rough as it is it would be better than sleeping on the street for people in that situation.

      @travelwithrussell used to stay there a lot and was good but changed hands. Was getting very good reviews but look at trip adviser, loads of really bad ones recently. Last time I stayed there it was really bad and that was a couple of years ago. Much b a shocker now.

    It depends who you are and why you are staying, if you were on a stag do or on a hen party or just out on the piss then that room would not bother you. People with your high standards should not stay in a budget hotel, pay the £100 and stay in a hotel with higher ratings. You get what you pay for. Blackpool is a shithole of a place so why would you expect a good hotel there is even sewage in the sea! The people who go there are rough they are out for what they see as being a good time which involves drink drugs lots of noise and sex so why would they need a lush hotel room. These rooms get hammered hence no mirrors no tv and the basic furnishings.

      @@Wizzy-Waywell I get what your saying totally, but there are lots of beautiful guest houses and hotels, I get people on stage do’s etc would not want to spend money but most of the 4 and 5 star hotels do very well, I’m just highlighting some lower budget ones people can then make their own choice 🙌👍

      None of that is an excuse for filth. High end fittings and facilites, granted, you don't need them. No matter the price or budget, you don't expect a filthy bed sheet with bits already in the bed - that sheet had NOT been changed since the last occupant - probably just put the duvet back - I cant even think of how you could put a sheet on a bed and have the bits on it like that without it being used before.
      Lush it doesnt need to be. But clean sheets is a must...

      @@travelwithrussell to be fair that room had been damp dusted so it is not a cleaning issue. Black sheets are renown for attracting bits this is why most hotels use white sheets cleaned by a laundry service like Afonwen. I think £25 was a fair price if you had paid £65 then those complaints would be justified
