Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Cleanliness can slip in pet-friendly rooms — At least one guest reported pet hair and bites after a stay, suggesting that rooms which have hosted pets may not always be thoroughly deep-cleaned.
- Some wear and tear in rooms — While rooms are described as clean, a couple of guests noted that furnishings show signs of age.
- Rating sits below the local average — The hotel's overall guest score is 7.6, compared to Blackpool's area average of 8.2, so expectations should be adjusted accordingly.
- Check-out is early — Guests must vacate their rooms by 10:00, which may not suit those hoping for a leisurely morning.
