Grand Hotel Blackpool

We booked a twin room, which was a decent size. The hotel was quite nice and the breakfast was excellent. The teas were ok. Nice sea view and tower view from window. The staff were nice a friendly. The shower in our room did need fixing though.

This is an average hotel. I imagine in it's history it was once very grand, but it has possibly suffered from a loss of trade, it's a massive place, the car park wasn't that full. The reception and restaurant are very nice, the corridors and rooms are very dated. We had a room for a family of 5 which consisted of a queen bed, a sofa bed and a fold out bunk bed. The room wasn't overly clean, and you could see it's age from where things had been on the walls, some light switches didn't work work, the wooden furniture looked well used. The queen bed mattress was the noisiest thing I've ever slept on. It desperately needing renewing. Place needs investment in it's furnishings. Staff were very nice, and price wasn't bad for what it was. Breakfast was really good. It was good quality and loads to choose from. Parking is a bit misleading, you can do the parking at reception, I discovered this after I'd paid for it on the RingGo app. I get

Great view from room 562, room was clean and enormous bed. Pillows are a bit hard for my taste. Tea and coffee provided but not enough for the weekend and no housekeeping for a two night stay. However room is a bit dated and the bedside lamps and standard lamp don't work at all. Toiletries are provided but not necessarily the ones you would want. 4 shampoo but only 1 shower gel. Breakfast was good standard and service in restaurant was efficient.
