Needs Improvements
A few nights stay with the family, and can not fault the family room for space. However, a few little issues: Breakfast - £27 per adult per day and a very small offering. Not worth the money Parking - £20 a night unless you book direct and still £10 a night for space they already own. Saturday Night - Late night rides until 9:30pm are room had a very towards the park which my 2 duaghters under 3 enjoyed, but not the noise when trying to get them to sleep. Would of been nice when checking in to be informed of this. Bar - The bar area is way to small for the venue and the amount ot people staying.

Lovely clean hotel friendly staff. Breakfast was disappointing. Bacon and sausages were not good scrambled egg like warm. Nice to be able to order poached eggs and porridge also if you wanted gluten free abd vegan. Tables in the evening need clearing quicker.

Phoned reception for both rooms not to have housekeeping during stay, only to be knocked on both bedrooms each morning for housekeeping and then letting themselves in while still sleeping.

Great hotel right next to the pleasure beach. We got a free upgrade to a superior double room. The bar prices are are the going rate not the usual hyped up cost. We will definitely be staying again.

Great stay at the Big Blue Hotel
Lovely hotel, staff are really friendly and helpful. Location is great for the pleasure beach and ample parking. The only issue I had and it’s really not a big issue, is that the mattress and pillows in my room were a bit hard, but that’s just due to personal preference. I’d highly recommend a stay here and I’ll definitely be returning. Thanks Big Blue for a great stay!!

Very disappointing
Overpriced and overhyped. For the price you pay, even for the cheapest room, its actually quite a rip -off. Way too many corners have been cut, There was only one plug socket in the room, so if you have more than one thing that needs charged, you're out of luck. The single beds are so narrow that unless you sleep completely still, you will end up rolling out at some point, makes for a very uncomfortable sleep, especially for larger guests or ones who move in their sleep. The breakfast was mediocre for the cost, you can easily find a better quality breakfast anywhere in blackpool, for half the price... and because its buffet style, the breakfast hall is madness with kids running riot everywhere, coughing on the food and touching it with their hands, I witnessed this several times in a very short time frame, very unhygienic. To top it all off an angry drunk wandered into the hotel started kicking doors, shouting and screaming and subsequently setting off the fire alarm, which contuinued to sound intermittently for 2 and a half hours... at 2am... the security done nothing apart from aggravate the situation and made it continue far longer than it needed to. And last but not least, despite being told we did not need the room cleaned, the cleaner harrased us every 10 mins from 9am. Very disappointing

Good hotel expenses to park
We had a lovely stay the only thing that we found quite annoying is that you had to pay £20 per night to park at the hotel this should be included in the price of the room as some hotels close to the big blue give you free parking very expensive and sometimes there is no spaces and you have to pay to park somewhere else and walk back
