The Midland

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.

Quirky hotel that deserves to be fabulous. Food and bar area, both excellent. Views amazing. Needs a bit of TLC. Completely dog friendly ❤️ Just need the weather to enjoy the walks and beach areas.

Very disappointed at the Midland. Scaffolding in place for renovations interrupted the view from our room but we were not told about it and staff said they were told not to inform guests upon booking. We had specifically requested and paid for a sea view room too! The room felt very ‘thrown together’ and not very comfortable. We only had breakfast included in our one night stay and it was good. It was clear that staff were extremely committed to doing their best for the hotel. As renovations are underway, in my opinion it would had been far better to close the place and crack on with the work.

Beautiful views and location

Stopover on way back from Scotland in well known art deco hotel in amazing location overlooking Morecambe Bay. Reception part of bar area. Staff gave poor impression. Bar & food area looked uninviting apart from the views. Room quirky at best. Beds not properly made. Views lovely. Breakfast awful. Poor ingredients. Slow service. Not worth the charge.

Only stopped for one night but it was exactly what we were expecting. Pleasant helpful staff who were easy to talk to and helpful. Just like the old days. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Great

Excellent one night stay.

RIP The Midland Hotel. This hotel used to be smart, stylish and elegant. It is now in a poor state of repair, there is no proper reception desk and now looks cheap. The once stylish dining room is now filled with mismatched pub style tables and chairs. It feels more like a Wetherspoons than a stylish dining room. Cheap tables and chairs are on the lawn outside. One of these tables was occupied by a man who could barely walk as he was so drunk. He staggered past us in the restaurant, sat down outside, dropped his phone then urinated on himself, the grass and his phone. The food in the restaurant was nice but not the same standard it used to be. Very expensive given the pub style feel. Cheap looking chairs and tacky barrel style tables outside the rotunda bar. We didn’t bother going in the bar and we didn’t stay for breakfast, we didn’t want any more disappointment. It looks as if the windows haven’t been cleaned for months, the whole exterior needs painting, there is damaged render in numerous places and large chunks of broken plaster dumped on a balcony. This is a listed building but it appears the new owners don’t care about that and they are just trading off the former glory and reputation of the Midland. The new owners should be ashamed of themselves. We heard a number of people commenting on how the hotel has been ruined. My husband and I have visited this hotel so many times and it has been fabulous every time, until now. I’m very sad to say we won’t be going back

The room was amazing. Don’t bother eating in the restaurant, though. It’s like a pub, but it takes longer to get served I waited for an hour for my drinks in the end. I just had to go to the bar myself. Probably the worst restaurant experience I’ve had.

Loved that the front desk remembered us from our trip two years ago. And they accommodated our request for early check in. The property needs a bit of cosmetic TLC. Otherwise we will return again.

Scaffolding & noisy ongoing work spoilt the occasion to which we treated ourselves on this relatively expensive stay. If we had known about the intrusive work or been informed about it we would have either rescheduled our stay, not booked it or gone elsewhere. A lovely hotel, but our visit and at breakfast looking through scaffolding was not what I paid for

Lovely property with onsite parking, well positioned with beautiful views of the sea. Staff friendly and helpful, although some could be better presented. Would certainly stay again

It could do with the outside painting it looked quite grey the inside was fabulous it takes you back to a time when elegance was so important for well being we will be returning

A great stay at an iconic hotel, small signs of maintenance required but did not detract from the ambiance. We had a superior room with balcony overlooking the sea and oh what a spectacular view and the weather was in blue sky and sunshine mode. The service from checking in, restaurant and check out was warm, friendly and efficient. Well cooked and tasty choices in the menu. Overall a great experience.

Great, helpful staff, but owners need to spend serious £££££ on upgrading and refurbishing this historic building. Food is a bit basic.

The staff were always very friendly and helpful. The room was great and the views are spectacular. Prices for eating are very reasonable. Easy to go for long walks on the promenade or the beaches. Close to other amenities, shops, etc. Surrounded by lovely countryside to go exploring.

Breakfast is rather slow as you have to get your own tea and coffee from quite a distance away from the tables, 1 man was getting 4 teapots very slowly.
