We booked this hotel the night before our arrival. Along with the price the main reason we booked this was it stated it had a games room. Our plan was then to make the most of Blackpool in the day and then use the games room and bar in the evening to sit and unwind with the kids. Unfortunately what we didn't know when booking it was the bar/games room was closed on a Sunday which happened to be the night we booked. So unfortunately I can't comment on the quality of this. The location to the hotel is great with it only being a 2 min walk to Coral Island and shops etc at the end of the road. The check in was a breeze, I rang the doorbell at 3pm and was greeted straightaway by a pleasant bloke. We booked the room with the private shower and toilet as I had young kids with me. So can't comment on the standard of the shared facilities. However, our shower/toilet was clean with a hot electric shower. There was no lock on the toilet door but not really needed as we knew when someone was in there. I wasn't aware that the towels are actually downstairs on the rack as you enter the property. Not in the room, I didn't notice this when checking in but had my own towel in my case anyway. The room we were in was comfy and clean and didn't smell of smoke. We had a decent sleep despite the central location it was quiet in the room. A few improvements I would suggest. Add a mini fridge to the room, and add a wifi extender to the top floor. We had no wifi in our room all stay.
