The owner was very polite & friendly. However the property is very dirty and run down. The room we stayed was run down. The bathroom smelt of urine. There was also a pool around the toilet. The bath mats smelt of urine. The bedding didnt smell clean and the carpets in the room were filthy. Corridor carpets full of stains. Walls were stained and the dust was inches thick. We will not be returning to this property.

Was ok but needs alot of work

Place is managed by one man Tom who was very nice ...Owner was off to Birmingham as we arrived and another lady disappeared when I spoke to her so not much of a welcome . Place needs work and cleaning tbh ... Basic standards are a must especially in a town with so much competition.. Hotel had two names which doesn't help.Think we were the only ones there but we were the only ones for breakfast ... Took a while to get any response from anyone as place was deserted but got there in the end ...Tom is doing a grand job but needs help imho. Breakfast ok but basic and wasn't asked what we wanted but dining room needs a clean and they did have a new dog so that comes with it's challenges ... Can't fault location for pleasure beach and south shore and was a late booking .. As I said place needs work and there are basics that are missing so those should be addressed if the are to survive a summer session ...Who place needs TLC but after coming to Blackpool now for 30 year then whole town needs some TLC and Cleaning .

The hotel appeared to have two names so took us a while to find the small sign in the window that identified it as The Dora. The gentleman who booked us in was very helpful, even allowing us to park at the back of the hotel. As for the room, it was clean, the bed had been nailed together to prevent it falling apart, the mattress was uncomfortable to say the least and the pillows may as well not have been there. It was the first night of the year with sub zero temperatures and the room was freezing with the thinnest duvet I’ve ever seen. I did not risk a shower as I’d not brought my own towels and the ones provided looked threadbear and older than the hotel. Breakfast was included in the price and served from 0900, there was cereal and toast available, the butter was mouldy and when asked for some more I was brought a block of butter from the kitchen which I declined. With my family there were 7 of us for breakfast and they did not cope well, the bacon and hash browns were very over cooked to the point of being inedible. Overall having booked the cheapest hotel in the area I guess I got what I paid for.
