Manhattan Hotel

This is definitely not a hotel - It is truly at best a refuge /half way house . Looking at previous photos I would say it’s been taken over recently and the rooms rented out . There is no bar , no reception - just a key safe at the front to collect your room key . The door was open when we arrived for anyone to come in . We are a couple celebrating my birthday and chose somewhere cheap and cheerful as we had booked a show in the evening and just wanted somewhere clean to sleep . When we arrived at 4pm we were greeted with a filthy room with one single bed , it stunk of cigarettes , had not seen a cleaner for a long time , the wallpaper was peeling off , cigarette burns everywhere and felt very unsafe . It took us half an hour to contact the ‘management company’ who were not interested whatsoever and were quite rude. They eventually offered to send a care taker round . After an hour and a half wait for a caretaker who still hadn’t arrived, we called back to be offered another single bed in the same filthy room or a move to the Lancaster apartments (please see the one star reviews that mention blood up the walls and a place too dirty to wash) - we declined the offer and at 6pm were running around Blackpool trying to find somewhere else which we found and had to fork out extra . No show pre drinks as planned or even time to get changed. We bumped into the caretaker on the way out who apologised for being late but had been dealing with complaints at the place they had tried to move us to ! Please avoid this hell hole - it is not the same place the owner has the cheek to advertise on the site . I wouldn’t let my dog stay here .

This isn't a hotel. It has been converted into self contained apartments. No staff are present at the premises and there are no amenities there outside of the rooms i.e no bar etc. All communication is done by WhatsApp and when something does go wrong as it did for us it's a challenge to try and speak with someone. When i did eventually manage to get through to someone they were clearly based in some form of call centre and had obviously graduated from the Basil Fawlty School of Customer Service. The room we were allocated was dirty, damp and smelt. Apparently the double bed that should have been in there had been removed the week before and had been 'forgotten ' to be put back. Thankfully it had because it meant we had to find somewhere else to stay, despite the very generous offer from Basil to put another single bed in the room! Honestly avoid this place at all cost unless you have just been released from prison in which case they might offer you a room here until they find you something nicer.

OMG this is not a hotel, more like a doss house. No reception to book in, room keys were left in safe boxes which the codes were incorrect. Took ages to get hold of anyone to get the correct code for pick box. No towels or tea/coffee facilities. Ceiling was bulging from previous leak, dodging netting hanging from sky light?? Would hate to think what it was catching. No bar as stated.

I feel some of the reviews on here are a bit unfair, after all, it's not a 5 star hotel and you aren't paying for that. Fine, clean, staff were friendly and was really convenient for the front. I think a lick of paint outside and cleaning up the yard outside would make a world of difference as it's great inside. NB we did have to pay to park on the main road as was chocka in the area but wasn't too expensive. Private car park on Lytham Road. Overall a very good stay.
