Olive Lodge Blackpool

Property was run down and in desperate need of upgrade/deep cleaning. Rooms were dirty and unkempt, windows were broken and drafty, blinds broken, beds rickerty, towels and bedding stained, shower was awkward to maintain temperature and not connected correctly (cold was hot and vice versa) sadly the list is endless. Avoid at all costs

No heating. Windows left wide open prior to entering room. Yet catches on window broken so wouldn’t close properly, letting icy draft in. Had to move rooms due to this and no signal on tv. Second room. Equally cold and windows not fully shutting but viewable tv. No tea/coffee in second. Bathroom door also wouldn’t shut properly. Wouldn’t stay again.

Room very basic, no kettle, provided tea and coffee making facilities but no kettle ?, bed very uncomfortable, bunk bed sqeeky and not very stable, rubish under beds, Blind to window not able to shut, soap dispenser not working, door handle to shower room loose, not enough toilet roll, no towels provided, no bins for rubbish, very noisy at night ? Who from, water running down side of property from broken pipe, prams/push chairs at bottom of stairs could barly get past health and safety risk, no fire instructions in room, only positives was the location and only staying for 1 night.

Manager was first class, lovely and friendly, very helpful. Enjoyed our stay and will be returning.

Would let my dog stay in here, wife attempted to clean bits off it, hadn't been hoovered, toilet was a monstrosity, shower head was just on floor with no connection to wall, chair in room fell apart and screw stabbed in in leg. Left instantly and found another place. Genuinely shocked a place like that would as for money. STAY AWAY

Travelled here with 2 small grandchildren.(4&9) On first impression, the vestibule entrance looked clean, greeted by a young man who requested cash payment. Upon paying £70 in cash (which is not cheap for Blackpool mid week, room only) we were taken to this room. _ no curtains/ blinds. However did not need them, windows filthy. _bathroom, not cleaned at all, shower head on floor in puddle of water and filth on shower base, shower doors thick with soap scum. Water all over the floor. Sink dirty, full of grime & toothpaste, with dirty bar of soap on the side, mirror above filthy again with soap scum. Toilet not been cleaned, (although cleaner than the shower). No toilet roll, other than an empty tube . _ bedroom, just a duvet on double bed with no cover. Bin not emptied. Bedding on top bunk, full of stains, bunks not secure to the wall . radiator falling off the wall, not working. _ within 5 mins of being in the room, there were raised voices in the building, and some random guy walked in the room, even though the door was supposedly locked. With myself & 2 very distressed young children, we left. Found a lovely place, very clean, spacious room, very safe for just £55. Due to the distress, my grandchildren's welfare was paramount, so did not hang around to take photos. This place falsely advertises family friendly, with noise reduction between 8pm and 7am. With no large parties (why I chose it) however, once inside it is a different notice on the wall. (Which I did get a pic of, for access code, before entering the room) On a positive note, there was a tea tray in the room. I would definitely never let any child stay here, maybe that's why no pets are allowed, kennels are more comfortable.

arrived new years eve to be told id cancelled my room aanother family there same issue i booked last january he said id canceled in october i didnt pay till december ,reported to police and passed onto fraud depar**ent advised to report to blackpool council which will be doing tomorrow .nigh**are trying to get a family room on new years eve and obviously was more expensive thank god for my credit card .no help at all from agoda even though they acknowledge i had not cancelled booking still awaiting to get refund or any reply from there customer service depar**ent . the place looked a mess so think our replacement hotel next door was much better accomadation thanks very much to the Royal Oakwell for putting us up at such short notice

My family and myself booked 3 rooms at this hotel to see the lights. I have received a call tonight from both my daughter who booked a family room and my son who booked a double that their rooms had been cancelled. I am not very impressed with cancellation at this late date for 5 members of our family which means obviously I have also cancelled. Upon reading the reviews I think it looks like we have had a lucky escape with only 1 and 2 star reviews for the first 2 reviews I read.

The only reason I booked this establishment was because the rooms pictured were large, and as a family of 4 very tall people we need the space. It would appear that the only room not photographed was the room we were placed in. It was tiny, in order to move around the room we had to strategically place ourselves against a wall, in the doorway or upon a bed. There was a plug socket not attached to the wall, a friendly person downstairs who complained that the Queen dying was a nuisance and had no reason to give a bank holiday (again this year!) and peeling walls. The bathroom was clean but please don’t attempt to open a window… especially the one in the bedroom as I swear it was actually keeping the back wall standing. The bedding was clean, the towels were clean, we had 3 cups for 4 of us but there was plenty of tea, coffee and milk. I mean plenty of milk too, which was a surprise as you don’t get that much in the Marriott!! All in we won’t return but if the points raised don’t bother you then I’d highly recommend as there was no noise and the food smell as you walked in the front door was amazing!!!!
