Grand Hotel Blackpool
Varied choice for breakfast, although hot food was cheap, overcooked and cold on the servery. Rooms were dated and unclean, sleeping on a park bench would have been more comfortable than the bed provided! We arrived late (after 10pm) had to pay for 24 hour parking permit, not listed as a requirment ...

The President Hotel
Ice cold tiny pokey room at back of the hotel. Had to go buy a fan heater at B&M. The room would be more suitably used as a linen store. They need to maintain the hotel at a comfortable 21C in all areas.
