I had to find somewhere to stay near Central Blackpool with parking. Most places are closed in winter, but The Residence was happy to accommodate me at five hours notice and at a very good rate. Being the only guest, the bar wasn't open, but I only wanted a decent bed....and I got it, one of the most comfortable that... More

I don't normally write reviews but if no one every says anything nothing would ever improve. The reviews on this site that give this an overall good review must be written by the owners themselves. The owners seemed nice people but must know there sailing a sinking ship. The rooms are dated and dirty. They need decorating and updating. As... More

No reviews on this hotel have been written by any family or friends and we find the inference offensive. Some rooms are still a little dated, but we are well on the way to refurbishing our rooms. None of our rooms are dirty, and we are unaware of any broken beds (if this was so then it was not reported... More

we didn't expect the hilton for the money we paid but we got more than our money's worth, the rooms were clean, the beds were clean and fresh, the owners were very nice and helpful, there was no rushing us on the morning of departure, we will certainly be going back next year.

Not only were the rooms full of empty drug bags ie: under beds and even in my bed underneath the duvet, the place was filthy and the disgusting excuse of a manager letting himself into our bedrooms without prior notice!! This place needs shutting down!!!! I dont advise ANYBODY to stay here!! He has no respect for his paying customers... More

This reviewer and a number of his friends were caught using illegal substances, and that is why empty drugs bags were in the room. These guests were reported to the police and the guests in question were asked to leave the hotel. The zero tolerance policy with regard to drugs that the hotel has was enforced, and the police were... More

These rooms were booked by another hotel owner on behalf of this group of 7 people. They were informed at the time of booking that only 2 rooms were available, 1 for a group of 4 and 1 for a group of 3 - which they said was acceptable. Upon arrival they said that they wanted single rooms and did... More

I spent one night in this hotel, and will never repeat the experience. The hotel smelt damp and the carpets in reception were dirty. Intially thought this might have been due to the recent wet weather but our journey through the hotel provided me wrong. I was aware this hotel specialised in hen and stag parties so was not expecting... More

Very disapointed that NO COMPLAINT of any kind was reported to any member of staff during their stay. All our towels and bed linen are professionally cleaned by a contract laundry company after each guest leaves, so none of our linen is dirty. We are sorry if other guests disturbed the guests sleep, but yet again if this had been... More
