Brooklands Over 50’s has certainly seen better days and the owner needs to spend some time and money on the place as it needs totally updating. The staff were not expecting us and the place was not ready to receive guests. If it wasn’t for managers Darren & Kate we would have left immediately and gone somewhere else. I wouldn’t return and in its current state wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else. However, Darren and Kate made the best of a really bad situation, they couldn’t do enough to apologise and make sure our stay was as pleasant as possible and the breakfast was excellent.

The room was dirty and i dont think the hotel posess a hover , there was no lounge or bar as advertised the hotel had a punget smell throughout and was very run down with the central heating not working. Breakfast was good but small,owners looked unkept themselves. How the place has 3 stars amazes me and false advertizing a lounge and bar and none of either with no seating area is a joke. 1 star would be 1 to many

The whole place smelt strongly of damp,had a neglected Aire about it..the room was lower end but apart from general cleanliness at the price given proper cleaning would have been acceptable Having knocked the keys off the bedside draws I reached down to get them and a USED HYPODERMIC NEEDLE went into my hand DRAWING BLOOD(not something I've ever used). We're far from fussy but could not recommend this place under its current \" management/staff.
Breakfast was acceptable but very portion controlled!!
We left early...just hope I haven't brought Hepatitis or HIV away as a souvenir

No heating on when arrived to room. Heating put on at 10pm. Found hairs in the bed linen. Beds changed at 11.15pm.
Hairs found on milk jug. No hair nets worn by staff. Dirty clothes and messy hair also. Greeting when we arrived by a man was shocking just asked what we wanted for breakfast.
Staff went into room to conduct maintenance without permission when we had left the hotel to go on a walk.
No bar or entertainment on in the evening. Furniture untidy.
When we complained at 11.15pm owner said if you are not happy go find another hotel. We are 67 and 62.

As it was an over 50’s Hotel it really was excellent for the price, the manager and the staff we met could not do enough for you, nothing was to much to ask, the breakfast was lovely and well prepared, coffee and tea really hot. My wife was in a wheelchair so we where given a ground level room with access through the back with zero stairs.

The owner was excellent and was pleasant and did his best to make my stay a good one.
Unfortunately the bedroom door lock didn’t work and he was unable to fix it. I had to therefore wedge it shut through the night.
The other point which was a little more disappointing was that I could not get the shower to run hot.
Not ideal.

Overall. A reasonable stay, pleasant owner, just feel the the property needs a little more TLC and updating.

Great hosts, Hotel not so much

Wonderful hosts, very welcoming breakfast was great. However too many issues with room, room should never been allowed to be booked, non working shower, unless you got host to come turn it on, then off after as it drips, host aware needs new unit, but delayed repair till end off season. Room smelt and felt damp, to the point unable to charge tablet for 3 days following return as moisture found in charging point, had to leave charging till warning disappeared. There were other issues some beyond hosts control which unfortunately led to a horrid weekend break. Shame i couldnt leave a bettter review, as hosts were really lovely.

A bargain stay in Blackpool for a sporting fixture in the middle of Wintwr.
A warm room courtesy of an electric heater and extra bedding.
Very helpful and friendly owners. A good breakfast all you need.
A great position near a tram stop.
Blackpool Hotels mainly shut for the winter, in a competitive market like many places could do with some updating.
I would return.

Although the staff was very pleasant, the heating in the room wasn’t adequate. Fortunately we took our hot water bottles with us. The coffee in room wasn’t replaced first morning breakfast was good, second morning not enough on my plate. First morning was asked if we would like xtra toast but not the second morning. There was no heating at all in dining room that was turned on. Only there for 2 nights. But wouldn’t stay there again . It’s an over 50 s hotel. People over 50. Need to be warm.
