    Lets be honest for what you have paid you can't complain Britannia Hotels is aimed at the bottom end of the market if you want perfection then stay at the Ritz on The Strand and it's around £1,000 a night for the basic rooms. I have stayed at dodgy Hotels before but I have just made the best of it and still had a good time and that's what it's all about Blackpool is not San Tropez so just enjoy what it has to offer plenty of people do.

      @@mansfieldlad123 honestly I totally agree with you! There are some amazing hotels and lodges in Blackpool, personally I absolutely love the place, I wanted to review this place because of the reviews but it was not as bad as what people were making it out to be, £35 was an absolute bargain tbh 👍

    I used to work for a hotel booking service 25 years ago. Even back then we used to get so many complaints and refund requests from people booking stays here.

    WHY, do some hotels put the towels on the bed ?
    Imagine going for a wash, shower or bath and then realising the towels are on the bed.

      @@travelwithrussell never have ice. You may serve yourself there but when it's served to you, you get a large drink without ice, because of the space the ice takes up in the cup.

    There should be a mattress protector on the mattress, that's bad for a chain hotel not having one, but it's Britannia so to be expected! Some of their hotels have been getting a lick of paint and a tiny bit of upgrading from the money they've taken in from housing asylum seekers / refugees for many many months (not meaning that in a bad way to be clear), so some reviews of the past where what was happening then.
