“Bluewaters Hotel places you directly on Blackpool's seafront, a prime spot for experiencing the town's buzz. It strikes me as a practical choice for families, especially with the games room and entertainment options; the indoor pool is a definite plus for year-round fun. While some may find its style a bit dated, there's a certain unpretentious charm to it all, and I imagine the sea views from many rooms are quite the treat.”

A Decent Stay

friendly staff good breakfast unclean room bad drains

The staff were friendly. I found them to be helpful. The swimming pool and breakfast were good. The hotel is slowly refurbishing all rooms.

I was given a room that wasn't cleaned from previous customers. My next room stank of bad drains. I was told that it was the bad drains, it got worse over the stay.

charming stay, lovely staff

comfortable beds room update buffet breakfast amazing staff

the room was nice, located on the third floor and currently undergoing updates. beds was very comfortable. i parked in a room outside, very secure. breakfast presented a buffet with many offer so much food. the staffs were amazing, responding to my request for a fan and extension cable with immediate assistance.

the room looked a bit aged, including some holes in the wall and a chipped frame. the window was not closed completely, made the room noisier at night.

unregulated shower serious burn

The beds were comfortable (I slept well).

The shower temperature was not regulated. It burnt me, and I heard other guests complained about the same issue. The hotel needs to fix this problem immediately because a child could get seriously hurt next time.
