We visited this hotel on 15th aug 2008 for a well earned rest. Booked the executive suite for a 2 night break (not cheap) Arrival was met with chaos at the desk as there were 2 weddings in progress, eventually got attended to and a nod of the head towards the lift, we had to wait for lift (there is only one that takes about 4 people and I suitcase as there were staff taking laundry baskets to basement. The suite was fine although a bit jaded plent of space and a beautiful view. As a treat I had ordered champagne which was in our room but could have been chilled. No fridge in the suite. Our evening meal was a massive disappointment, buffet style few choices and a queue. Food was litterly slapped on the plate and looked less appetising, my husband did enjoy his pork however I was disappointed in the turkey slice I was given.The service was less than we expected and we had to sit in a very busy area in fact other guests had to brush past our table taking the table cloth with them. We are still awaiting the wine list.No seats in any of the lounges due to wedding guests who also had to stand . Prices in general for coffees, teas and alcohol were high but not the standard some obscure brands. B&B at Blackpool equally as good or bad. I had hoped to have a bit of pampering but unfortunately there were no appointments, the pool was fine but a bit of a trail to get there.
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
sounds horrible, although in their defence, not booking treatments would seem a bit of a mistake on your part, after all not many of us can get beauty and hair appointments on the weekend without an appointment (unless the salon is unpopular, but then you wouldnt want to go....)
