    Very clean. With regard to losing the key, the owner might have to change many locks to make the building secure again. Especially if the key has the hotel name on it. Enjoyed the video, really mad room!

    Well, I was pleasantly surprised with this particular room. Yes it was on the girly side but so what? At least it was clean enough and very cheerful to look at, not like most of the rooms you stay in which look miserable, bland and soulless. This room had a very homely look to it and very nice indeed. On another note, the saying you were thinking of is 'icing on the cake' haha, easy mistake to make! Yes, a very enjoyable vid this time round instead of the usual disappointment you come up against when booking a low budget room. 👍😊

  • @peedy671
    @peedy671 5 месяцев назад +4

    My 1st impression upon you entering the room was it looked like a police cell with the partition from the toilet. I do feel that you was struggling to find faults just for content for the video. Over all impressions was it's a very clean and tidy room despite "girly" decor, definitely the best room you've visited so far! You can tell the owner takes pride in their hotel.

      As its only a single room I think the owners had inspiration to think of making an open plan bathroom. Had there been a door in place it would have look cramped, tiny and somewhat claustrophobic.
      Everyone wants an en-suite and most of the B&B's in Blackpool are within victorian properties so space is limited.

    Possible idea to wrap up a video is give the place a rating like out of 10. Could do value for money, cleanliness, quality of breakfast and facilities. Could be a good way to keep a record of them all, and when you've done a lot of videos you could do a top 10 B&Bs of Blackpool. Or top 5 budget vacation ideas etc etc

    I’ve stayed at some of the cheaper options in Blackpool. In August 2023 my son aged 9 and I stayed at the Highbury Hotel st chads road. Two nights £50 bed and breakfast. So for £25pn we both got breakfast. They normally charge £5 for breakfast so £15 for a night in hotel room was good.
    You should check them out.

    @chrisbiggs4082 5 месяцев назад +2

    I hope your in Blackpool next weekend I'm looking at booking up for 9th Feb until 12th Feb and would be good to see you up there. Back to the video this looks a very nice hotel to stay at and although the room is decorated very feminine, I think it looks really nice and would definitely stay there happily. I think this hotel slightly edges the Winter Gardens one which was also very nice and although I don't stay around the Town Centre, I am considering staying at Friends and Winter Gardens in the near future. It wont be for this weekend coming, as I'll be looking to stay somewhere between Manchester Square and Starr Gate which is the radius I usually prefer to look at staying. I think Friends is definitely value for money and could easily charge more in my opinion and is far superior to some of those dive budget hotels and just goes to show people bang on about you get what you pay for what else you expect for the price, but like you say you expect at least a good standard of cleanliness and this place is showing those places up the cheap hovels they are by keeping on top of cleanliness and a nicely decorated room with good facilities. My only gripe is the breakfast, as although I don't go in for cooked fried breakfasts at hotels these days and prefer a coffee, orange juice and cereal with perhaps toast, I didn't like the look of that continental breakfast. Overall a very nice place to stay and I'll certainly keep it in mind and I'm loving the pink gloves my friend. Hope to you see you if you're around next weekend.

    Just for comparison Dan: I'm staying at the four star Imperial Hotel in March. Cost for four nights including breakfast £188.. Normal cost of breakfast at the imperial is £17.50. Take four breakfasts (£70) off £188 = £118. Divide £118 by four nights and you get £29.50 per night for the room. Don' t know if you fancy trying to suss out some bargain rates in the more expensive places?

    I understand about the keys, but Blackpool is quite rough (I can say that as I come from Liverpool and I know about rough places) and you could imagine what would happen if the keys got passed on there.
    Agree so much about the smoking.
    It sounds like they are trying to run a decent guest house in a place where so many of them are terrible.

    If you lost your house keys would you just get a new key, of course you wouldn't you would replace the lock and that would cost more than £4 or £5 . The room looks very clean and well cared for and for £40 its a good deal , because you don't like the decorations doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the room it looks like the owner cares about the property.

  • @Tiny-One
    @Tiny-One 4 месяца назад +1

    It's not just one key, though. One lost key is a change of lock(s) and replacement keys cut for all the other rooms - that's where it mounts up... 5 new keys cut is £25.

    Out of all the “cheap” value for money rooms in Blackpool, this one is top of the tree 👍🏻 it was clean and would have been cosy at night by the looks, 😢so I would have no problem with staying somewhere like this if I didn’t want to spend hardly any money 👍🏻
