    There’s no way I would want the rim of a clean cup touching my lips after sitting on a tea tray that has probably NEVER been cleaned. Much easier to swill out the cup under hot water in the bathroom when they’ve been upright, than find something to scrub the rim clean.

    Stayed here in the 90’s, it was way more grand back then ironically, the pool area was serine and no reception desk in the back in the day, find memories of this place

    Looks like they have taken a king size bed out and replaced with a small double as the headboard is massive compared to the bed

      There's a lift to the ground floor then just standard pool steps - the sauna is good though that shouldn't be an issue

    Maybe mr Brittania stopped buying up every hotel in England, and concentrate on getting the places upgraded; last I heard he owns something like 60 odd hotels 😂I think it’s enough

    It is a nice hotel very minor problems with it I think it needs more people running it than the staff that they have got in charge, when I was there is was quite empty not many people using the dining room they changed the self service to table service which took for ages to get something to eat the food on the first two nights was out of this world then after that it was downhill due to change of chef!, I think these hotels need proper a maintenance but it's a Britannia Hotel they are very slow at fixing things but they were very prompt at sending a plumber to fix toilets at this hotel even at the desk when you had a problem with the card to your room.
    It's a huge hotel I think they struggle with maintenance just not enough staff and care of the customers to suit their needs, it could be simply Blackpools best if they just took care of it.

      I feel britannia will "refurbish" these hotels but it's always done on the cheap so it'll never be as good as it once was. As for the food the quality of the offerings in all its hotels has been getting worse recently to the point where I'd prefer just order a takeaway as that's usually better quality. I agree with needing more staff too

    Another great review, love the Blackpool ones, helps so much when considering where to stay. What road did you say that factory shop was on (I couldn’t quite catch what you said) and can anyone shop there or is there a membership scheme or anything - a postcode for it would be helpful too, I’d definitely take a look. Thanks 🙏🏼

    • @DottyGran247
      @DottyGran247 Рік тому

      it’s ok, I found the postcode - FY4 4QQ and it looks like anyone can shop there, thanks for sharing this place, I didn’t know it existed.

    That is really good value to be honest. Basic but clean with complimentary tea/coffee and bathroom essentials. Great view and just £2 extra to use the pool, a bargain really. £15 for a 4 course meal, well more than reasonable and entertainment also. Who can complain really. They upgraded yourself with no hassle.

      @@wanderingwiganer yes it is but in time there will be no guest houses left such a shame but it does need one hell of a lot of investment and British seaside resorts will continue to decline as they can not compete with Spain and other country's both on cost and weather and the world is now a smaller place with cheap plane travel

    Just be thankful the hotel has not (yet) been taken over and housing migrants in it. It is only a matter of time. Let's see video review on it when migrants are in the hotel. Go to the Metropole Hotel. See how far you get????!!!!
