Top Hotels Near Staining Lodge Golf Course in Blackpool from NZ$86

"Arrived and the first thing that struck us was the 10 or so steps at the front door to get up to the reception area, not easy for older people with a heavy suitcase, we then stood around 10 minutes waiting to check in as there was no staff at reception. Then told that parking was £10 per night which we hadn’t seen listed anywhere, we also had to pay a £150.00 damage deposit (Refundable) which we also knew nothing about, we’re in our 60’s, we’re hardly going to wreck the room! We did consider going somewhere else at this point but the girl on reception said that since we’d had a bit of hassle checking in she’d upgrade our room! If the room we got was an upgrade we’d worry greatly about what they were going to put us in to begin with, the bed would have been great if we were both 5”5 and 7.5st, my feet were hanging off the end of the bed all night, they obviously don’t cater for people of 6ft, the shower was a step over bath with a curtain that sticks to you, how very 70’s! The room was very warm so we opened the top windows then were alarmed to hear some crashing & banging, the breeze coming into the room was lifting the tiles in the false ceiling at both the entrance and the bathroom, needless to say we had to close the window! We were meant stop for three nights but decided to cut our losses and head home after two nights. Never again will we opt for a so called “cheaper hotel” as sometimes pictures on selling sites can be deceiving! Overall, very disappointed…"

"When I arrived I walked into dampness, bits wood lying on ground with nails sticking out it. Got to room for it to have mould in bathroom, window that wouldn’t close so freezing. Moved room and needed an heater to heat up room and shower only had cold water water and at that was little trickles that came out it. They tried to run tap to heat it up which sink was in beside bed and that was blocked so it over spilled onto carpet , said would get a plumper and hi didn’t come. Reported shower next day again and nothing happened so had ri go and purchase another hotel . If it wasn’t so late would have moved when I arrived at first. Full place stunk of dampness "

"1st time at the Ruskin, stayed three nights bed and breakfast, absolutely delighted, most definitely will be back. the staff were brilliant, friendly. polite and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them, our room was spotless (as was the hotel in general),the bar service was spot on with a great choice of drinks and food, the entertainment every night in the cabaret lounge was really good, all in all a great weekend."

"Good sized room, shower with bath, great water pressure, excellent tea/coffee facilities, amazing air conditioning, excellent location, very comfortable bed! 10/10. Would absolutely stay again."

"Selection of evening meals poor, beds uncomfortable and pillows rustle. Had to have aircon running all the time as no opening windows so no fresh air in room and otherwise too hot. "
