We stayed in Blackpool once, fuck me! 
I DO NOT recommend the Golden Thistle hotel! What a fucking hole! I won't go into detail but I couldn't wait to get home! ROFL
Was only a roof over our heads that my mates dad paid for about 8 of us but still!

Me and my mrs stayed in the Savoy once and it was shite. The breakfast was good but the hotel itself was well tatty. Panel on the side of the bath was smashed, wallpaper hanging off in corridors, hardly what you'd expect from a "premium" price hotel tbh, i've stayed in better travelodges
If you stay in the Yeadon Way Travel Inn, give the night porter a slap from me

Whatever you do don't stay in "White House" in Withnell road (not to be confused with another totally seperate White House elsewhere in Blackpool). It was absolutely diabolical the place was really shabby and stuck in a 1970's time warp. The room had peeling wallpaper and was dirty and smelly and the double bed it had collapsed in the middle.
The landlady for some reason insisted that we go upstairs in the lift which was like a death trap. It seemed to get stuck for a few seconds and we thought we'd be spending the night in there TBH
And don't get me started on the breakfast
