The Midland

Excellent stay

So sad. Midland remains in a great location, is a beautiful building and the rooms have amazing views. BUT We stayed in a suite on the top floor with a fantastic view of Morecambe and its bay. Suite is spacious and, like the rest of the hotel, has echos of greatness. The lack of reception should have been a clue! Check in is now at the bar like a budget hotel. The soft product is penny pinching. No bathrobes, no slippers, no ammenities in bathroom. The hot tub is non operational. The tv was not set up, so had to set up manually! There is no restaurant. Just a bar with food ordered at the bar. Evening staff totally uninterested, chatting at bar with friends. Food is average gastro pub fare at 4* prices. Wine list is poor. The Midland Hotel is certainly not a luxury 4* experience but it has a 4* price. Of the 1000's of hotel nights I have experienced around the world, this was by far the most disappointing.

The hotel was spotless. All of the staff were excellent - professional, courteous and friendly. The food - breakfast and evening meal was well cooked and decent sized helpings.

Lovely hotel with fantastic views over the bay from the terrace whilst dining & drinking. Room clean,modern ,well equipped.

Room was clean and the staff were lovely

We stayed overnight on New Year's Eve, check-in was straightforward and quick. Room was nice albeit

Hotel was very good. Bedroom was very comfortable and clean. Staff were helpful and friendly and car park was convenient and free. Food was very good.

The staff were excellent and the food and magnificent views in the restaurant were superb.

Very good two nights stay. Excellent breakfast, helpful friendly staff and great view across the bay

Great spacious room, all facilties and a large window and balcony with a view straight to the sea and the bay around, gorgeous! Nice seatimg area and temp control was v efficient

overall very nice ... tiny things like peeling paint here and and there ...

Good menu choice at breakfast albeit the full English not the best i have had. Nice but basic evening meals well prepared. Extra afternoon tea excellent. Look forward to my next stay.

Full English was made to order fresh food room was supper loved our room facing the road 101 definitely stay again

There are 2 sides to this review. Whilst my Wife loved the room, views, and hotel in general as it was on her wish list of visits, I was very disappointed with a number of things during our stay. I’d contacted the hotel explaining this was a special visit for my Wife’s significant birthday. I’d booked their best suite and requested an ice bucket and 2 glasses for the room as I was bringing wine. This wasn’t initially provided and I had to request it again. We then had a problem with the TV not working and having reporting it twice, it was initially fixed by our 2nd evening but was off again the following morning. So we only had use of it for around 1/2 day of out 3 day stay. Whilst this might seem trivial, it’s the small things that make a difference. Which is where I was again disappointed at the hotels lack of acknowledgment that this was a special occasion for us. I wasn’t expecting much, but not even a free drink with our meal in the restaurant or at the bar was offered and I was even going to be charged £25 for an extra 1 & 1/2 hr late check out. Considering I paid near to £500 on accommodation, food and drink over the 3 days, the least I would have expected was for the TV to work and some personal service. I can only finish by saying that as a result of no effort of the hotel my Wife had a lovely Birthday but I won’t be using or recommending the Midland in Morecambe or any other hotels in the chain, which is disappointing as I would have like to visit the Swallow Falls

Fantastic view of the beach and the room facilities with the big bath overlooking the sea, perfect for a real treat

This hotel is quirky in many ways. But the people were nice and the stay was enjoyable overall.

Beach was terrible car was safe enough

Good location but hotel is looking a bit tired.

Check-in was easy and our room was spacious and well maintained. It’s a great example of Art Deco and worth a stay just to enjoy the design features of a past era.

It’s a tired hotel living off whatever former reputation is used to have. High hotel charges that can not be justified. I feel compelled to write this review as it was such a rubbish experience. The receptionist / staff on duty in the morning at 6am was so unbelievably rude when I simply asked for a cup of coffee before I left the hotel to go to work. I was genuinely shocked at the level of aggression he showed me when I questioned why a hotel that charged me £209 for one night could not provide me with a coffee! He didn’t even care at his poor level of service and laughed it off - he’s a disgrace and never should be working in hospitality. The food is very average pub fare - not hotel Restaurent quality.
