Worth it for the price

Our room was actually clean

The good, the bad and the ugly sums up the Avon. The good included the host who provided great customer service and a warm welcome, the double en suite rooms I stayed in were of a good standard despite requiring some TLC to the décor and had some maintenance issues (like a broken shower head), the price paid was very reasonable offering value for money, the Wi-Fi worked well and the space was by in large clean. The bad was the lack of any food or beverage provision, so no breakfast, the old televisions, the noise from the street due to being unable to close one of the windows and the single room I stayed in for one night was very compact had nowhere to sit other than on the broken bed, the single room’s television was extremely small and therefore unwatchable. The ugly – well that has to be the outside of the building and the reception front room – when I first arrived at the property I nearly did not ring the bell and check in – the appearance of the exterior portrays a rundown hovel of a place and when get passed the disgustingly filthy front door first impressions do not get any better given the sparse, undecorated, uncared for, rubbish and clutter strewn front room of the property that acts as reception. Located five minute walk from the promenade, the beach, the Winter Gardens and the Tower is some twenty minutes walk from Blackpool North station. The Avon offers value for money basic stays and is definitely not the worst guest house in Blackpool just needs some att
