Ocean Bay

To hotel staff, very nice and kind very helpful too. Location very convenient and quiet! Hotel hygiene is good ! Highly recommend !

The hotel was spotlessly clean. The proprietors were extremly welcoming, friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was served very hot and they kept asking if we required more toast. Although this hotel us not licensed, they told us that the adjoining hotel said that residents could use their bar and take it back to Ocean Bay. We took our grandson and he loved it especially playing the air hockey game and the sea view. We will be staying there again and highly recommend this hotel. It is ideally situated for those who like the fun of the fair as it is only a few mins walk from the pleasure beach. Thank you to the hosts for a lovely stay.

Comfortable bed, gorgeous headboard, lovely view. Unfortunately that is where the good stuff ends. Pokey room, grotty bathroom, grubby walls. Back of the TV was thick with dust which was over the tea tray when in position to watch. Very unhygienic. The shower drain cover was absent "due to covid"(!). So why did my daughter's room have one? This could easily have resulted in an injury. Neither the dining room nor the bar were open, which were not disclosed until we arrived. The kitchen had been out of action for weeks although the option of breakfast was listed on our booking confirmation, sent AFTER the kitchen was closed. One of the reasons we booked this hotel was to sit with a relaxing drink and overlook the beach/lights. No housekeeping whatsoever, had to go to reception to replenish the teatray. This again was "due to covid" although some of our personal items had been disturbed so obviously someone had been in the room. Apparently they only do any housekeeping between guests! Thank goodness we were only there for 3 days.

The hotel,the room was spotlessly clean and the room was gorgeous with a spectacular sea view, staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we was okay, price was great and very much worth it. Even though it’s just further down from the pleasure beach it was peaceful and quiet.. they were absolutely amazing and with my 4 year old granddaughter they couldn’t do enough for her especially at breakfast time

Stayed at this establishment several times over the last few years on a mini break with our grandchildren to visit the attractions of Blackpool. On arrival we discovered that the previous proprietors (Sue and Jim) had moved on and now we have Ally and Allie. We were greeted and welcomed by the new owners, who were very friendly who even carried the children's cases upstairs for us. Our room was comfortable and clean and was adequate for our needs for a few days (3). However, I would like to offer some friendly non-critical advice that may be of benefit in the future. 1. Breakfast: I would expect that majority of hotel guests that stay would like an option of breakfast during their stay, which the previous proprietors provided and to a very high standard. Also, a breakfast that caters for everyone's dietary needs and preferences, without going into too much detail and I completely respect and understand your reasons for not serving certain food. When I enquired about ordering breakfast, I was informed that only vegetarian sausage would be served, and no alternative i.e. bacon/sausage would not be served and unfortunately the chef was off sick, I'm not sure if this would have made a difference. However, you do state in your house rules that guests are allowed to consume takeaways in the dining room. 2. Bar area, this is now off limits and is home to your lovely dog. I think most guests whether travelling with children or not would appreciate an area to chill and relax at the end of the day or just catch up and have a chat with other guests or watch some TV as an alternative to sitting in their room on the bed. Also, most people with families don't want to stay out too late and have the option to return back to the hotel and have a Tea/Coffee/soft drinks and snacks available and maybe an alcoholic beverage for the grownups in the lounge / bar area and feel comfortable in the surroundings, and have an option of a separate area to do it. 3. Towels, although I had to request towels as there were none in the room, and was told on the last day to ask if we needed anymore just ask, we did manage, I do usually pack my own but on this occasion I forgot. I also think the little bottles of toiletries are a genuinely nice touch. I do think your towels need upgrading, one had holes in it, and they do look quite tired and worn. 4. The cost of the stay was more than previous years, which I completely understand the reasons for with the general inflation, but we didn't want room only we wanted the extra facilities such as breakfast and the option of the bar area. Our loyalty chose Ocean Bay Hotel and after researching since my return home I have discovered for the same price or less we would have had all the options and amenities we required, (breakfast / lounge bar / children's entertainment). In other establishments. I feel that it would be better to forewarn guests of the changes made so that they can make up their own mind and choose accommodation

Great hotel with an ideal location for the seafront, customer service was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend staying here!

Stayed overnight to see the illuminations and firework display. Overall this was a lovely stay. The couple (Allie & Allie - sorry if mispelt) were lovely and very welcoming on arrival. The owners even let us in half an hour before check-in as it was raining outside and we were all tired. The place is currently being refurbished and the bathrooms updated but all three rooms were decorated well and were very clean anyway. There are coffee, tea and biscuits on offer in the room and the bed was really comfortable. We had a lovely nights sleep even better than higher starred hotels we've stayed in. The location is ideal as it's so close to the Pleasure Beach theme park, beach and South pier. The trams are only a short walk away. There is a pool table that my husband and son played on. The only drawback was that the bar was not open, as the owners were using it as an area for their Alsatian puppy. It would've been nice to have a drink after the fireworks plus the hotel is missing a trick there. Not sure if there is breakfast on offer as we never saw the dining room being used. Overall a lovely, comfy stay which was fanatastic value for money. Would definitely stay again. Thank-you Ocean Bay!

12 family members visited this hotel for a 2 night stay. The hotel has recently changed management, and work is in progress to repair a flood recently caused by a previous resident. The bar area was closed, the dining room was closed, and there was no pool table, fruit machines etc. Breakfast is not provided at this hotel. Hotel and rooms basic, but clean and warm. Bed was comfortable, and shower was fine too. Free parking outside and excellent location for Pleasure Beach and Sandcastle.

we had a lovely stay at this hotel, owner great guy lovely clean room, bed comfortable , sea view room, ideal for people who want to visit the pleasure beach and close to south pier , would stay again
