Disliked: Cleanliness
The room itself was a reasonable size, linen nicely presented. Cleanliness not so great I dropped a hair pin on the floor, when looking for it I found sweets and other debris under the bedside, with a decent layer of dust to the back of it. The double bed had a sheet of chipboard nailed to the divan base (presumably because the base was damaged). The ensuite was okay, but the shower made a horrendous noise when running. The toilet had a leak from the water inlet, which looks like it's already had a repair attempt made.

Never been to Blackpool before so staying here wasxa complete gamble. We always stay at 'chain' hotels during our breaks all around the UK but in Blackpool they were very expensive, so we opted for The Winning Post, just by chance. What a find! We were very happy. The location was convenient, the room very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed having tea and coffee,facilities, as much as you liked compared to the one cup a day often provided by the 'chains'. There was also a cereal/toast breakfast option. Our room had a hairdryer, microwave and mini fridge too as well as a TV and heater. The shower was also good. The only downside which didn't affect us as we aren't elderly or have disabilities was the stairs were quite steep and narrow. All the rooms were up a flight or two of stairs, no problem for us but unsuitable for some guests. I would highly recommend for the money. It's obviously not The Hilton but excellent for what it is. Thank you.

Winning Post Aug 2022

Our room was better than expected. Large room with a double and single bed. Slightly tired in areas but overall ok. Room was well equipped with lots of warm throws, an iron, fan, small stool, wardrobe/drawer space, basin & shave point, draught/light excluder, small fridge and tea & coffee making facilities. The en-suite shower room was very 'snug' and whilst in need of re-tiling/a bit of bleach on the grout, it was ok. It all worked. The tv was tiny and would also be better placed away from where the kettle is (for safety reasons). I found the beds very soft and comfortable but I don’t like a firm mattress. The pillows were way too high for me so would recommend taking your own if you prefer a flatter one. Major stiff neck otherwise. We found the accommodation quiet and had no issues whatsoever. As breakfast isn't available on-site, Wetherspoons is a 10 minute walk away. Parking however is a BIG issue. Be prepared to have to pay as there is no free parking on the street unless you strike very, very lucky and get one. Everywhere else in the area is permit parking for locals. One last point is that behind the facade of the seafront, the area is what I can only describe as dodgy and I was wary walking home on an evening with my young son. Overall, if I had to return to Blackpool, I would be happy to stay at the Winning post.
