Lions Roar

Advantages: It's a four star hotel
Disadvantages: Its' a standard four star hotel

We, a group of about 50 people, stayed for the weekend. For the name droppers Chubbie Brown was staying at the hotel at the same time, at least he was in the Bar The High Light to wake up Sunday morning to hear a noise, then to realise it was the roar of lions from the zoo next door. The hotel is a fairly new hotel with well decorated and equipped rooms, unfortunately as a "new" hotel all the rooms are standard hotel rooms. The hotel was totally ...
...leisure complex was fairly well equipped and that the staff were, in the main, helpful and efficient. There was something about the place that just did not inspire me. Apart from being next to the zoo there is nothing which jumped out and bit me as being particularly memorable. We ate a few times in the restaurant. Breakfast was hot buffet type (not as good as the Blackpool Hilton). The staff, particularly at Breakfast were poorly trained, at one ...

Review of De Vere Herons Reach, Blackpool

More than just a bedford the night!!!

Advantages: Location, price
Disadvantages: Breakfast/checkout times

I stayed here in November 07 and after reading various reviews I was a bit unsure what to expect. However, when we arrived I was very pleasantly surprised. First of all there was a big car park which is quite unusual for Blackpool as there's usually only room for 10 cars at the most. When we checked in we were given the room key but as well as the room key we also had our own personal front door key so that we didn't have to ring the bell and wait ...
...We got into our room which was quite spacious. There was 2 of us, myself, and my sister so we'd booked a twin room for £60 for 1 night but the room actually had a double bed and a single bed in there. It was basic but clean and comfortable. The location is perfect for a night out; it's only about a five minute walk to the nightlife although we got a taxi. Can't be walking for 5 minutes in heels. The taxi from the town to the hotel only cost £4 so ...

Review of Bedford Hotel, Blackpool

The imperial Hotel Blackpool is the place for me

Advantages: Good hotel . Nice location
Disadvantages: Bit Expensive for there bar prices.

I am writing to recomend the Imperial Hotel Blackpool as a place to stay. I had a great time there on my birthday. In my opinion the staff there was very friendly and helpfull. The food was very good. The breakfast in my opinion was the best bit. As it was help yourself you could have as much as you want are as little as you need. If you are into keep fit the gym was good and the staff was there t help you if you needed any advice. The bedrooms was ...
...think that it`s one f the best places to stop. It must be good as the labour party stopped there for the conference. Who knows you could have slept in the same bed as Gordon Brown.The only bad point was i that i found money under the bed which goes to show the cleaners where not up to there jobs. But in one way it was money in mine. ...

Review of The Imperial Hotel Blackpool, Blackpool

The strangest hotel I have ever been to

Advantages: Close to Blackpool Pier, onsite restaurant
Disadvantages: Poor food quality, terrible entertainment, no wheelchair access

Liberty's on the Square is an odd mixture of a nightclub/hotel/rabbit warren/saga venue. This is one hotel with an identity crisis. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone; it is marketed as a Saga hotel, yet in my opinion, is completely unsuitable for the elderly due to access issues and the seedy, inappropriate entertainment. ENTERTAINMENT The inappropriate entertainment for the audience of 60+ers and young families was terrible. The entertainment ...
...rude and not funny comedian (I am not a prude, but his jokes were not funny and it was obvious his idea of humour was to be as smutty and insulting as possible). He told what I found to be offensive jokes containing very vulgar language and picked on several people throughout his act making personal remarks about their appearance. I was lucky to escape such ridicule, however I felt dreadfully sorry for the individuals who were targeted. The next ...

Contender for Worst Hotel 2009

Advantages: Centre of Blackpool, cheap, inside entertainment.
Disadvantages: Overbearing staff, smelly rooms, pre-made food.

Layout and Appearance The hotel, from the outside, looked like any other hotel, if not a bit bleak looking. The car park was NOT very well laid out, half of the spaces where against the wall so you could be blocked in, so it was a good job our friends parked behind us then we knew who the occupier was and they could let us out on checkout! Once inside I had to think to myself, is this the hotel or a pole dancing bar? It looked so seedy. I then had ...
...barely a metre wide, down 3 sets of small stairways just to reach reception. Once in our room a damp, foisty smell hit me. Other than that, it had everything we needed, they had helpfully rented us in a travelcot at no extra cost, and everything was clean, if not old fashioned. The bathroom smelt of urine which you HAD to get used too, but was clean and had fresh towels. The windowsill was also covered in mould and damp. The restaurant and bar areas ...
