Hotel needs a full refurb, damp in the room, all areas of the hotel are dated and in dire need of moderisation, however the room was relativeley clean, the food (breakfast) is good and plentiful, we never ate the evening dinner option, overall 3 out of 5 for me.

Stayed for 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend. My room wasnt too bad although the corriders and stairs in the building are very much in need of renovation. The food was very good, lovely and hot and fresh. Restaurant staff brilliant. The entertainment Friday and Saturday was incredible. Sunday was just so grateful that Emma Norman was singing as the actual show was nothing like the first two nights. The comedian Lennie needs to get a some new material. Emma was amazing, how lucky is the Viking to have her on board. The housekeeping of the rooms was not up to standard although the lady on reception quickly remied this. Also I got an early morning alarm call at 7 am Saturday and Monday although I had not requested this. Also housekeeping knocked on my door at 9.30 am and 9.45 on day of departure although checkout not until 10.30 am

Stayed over August bank holiday weekend for our first ever time. Parking was good, only problem here was drivers not parking their car, they just drove it in to a spot, making it difficult for others and very selfish. The staff from booking in to leaving were friendly , warm, caring and excellent. Our room was everything we needed for a weekend break, with tea and coffee provided. The food ( we was half board) I could not fault at all, and again the staff were great. The entertainment, we reserved a table, which was good, really good entertainment room, now I am very meticulous with comedians, I think the main stream comedians are not funny at all. However they have a comedian called Buddy Lee, seriously a very funny character and I will come back again to watch him and I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great food & entertainment venue
The hotel was good value and location. The entertainment which is on nightly was a fantastic show of singing, comedy & show dancers. The compare Buddy Lee was funny and entertaining. The food was great quality and many choices, and the staff service was excellent. The location was easy accessible to trams to visit other parts of Blackpool. Parking on site was great and secure.

Stayed here a few times and always have a good time. Mealtimes provide plenty of choice and quantity. Entertainment is always good. Staff pleasant and friendly. Only downside this stay was using the shower in one of the older rooms. The fixed position meant that someone taller than 4ft struggles to get under it.

The hotel was ok , the breakfast fantastic , When I went down for breakfast , I was to hand a card that was given to me by reception, to somebody at the entrance to the restaurant , there was no one there to hand it to . so i just followed everybody in . picked table , and stated eating , a quest came up to the table and said I was sitting in his seat , a member of staff came over , tolled me to move , she walked me to the opposite side of the restaurant (I had a plated full of food in my hand ) she put a card on the table and said , that is your table .It was so embarrassing . The next morning at breakfast I was putting items on my plate ,Heard a slight noise behind me , heard it again ,I turned around , a member of staff was holding a tray of fried eggs , I was not aware she was , there ,I said sorry , but she gave me such a filthy look , They should treat their guests with a bit more respect and curtesy .
