My boyfriend and I stayed here on 28th Jan 2012 and I must admit that I was disappointed when I first saw the room. We had booked it the night before and from the pictures, the hotel looked fantastic and the rooms looked quite large. We stayed in room 108, which as someone else has already pointed out, is tiny...

We stayed in this hotel in early December as we thought we would have a short break before the christmas period, we were sorry we bothered, we should have stayed at home. We arrived at the hotel only to be told the room we booked was not available, however, it would be available after the occupants left the following day.... More

I frequently stay at hotels, a different hotel every 3 or 4 weeks at least and have never found the need to write in trip adviser. I felt that I must howevever make people aware that the hotel room that we booked was not the one that we booked and that there is false representation on the internet.The room number108... More

I read some of the reviews before I set off and did not tell my family as some were quite bad and I did not want to... More

We took our two girls (11 & 13) to Blackpool, staying at the Gainsborough from 23rd to 26th October. We wanted to see the lights, the piers, Pleasure Beach, the Waterpark and of course The Tower. The Gainsborough is brilliantly situated to explore all these experiences. The owners are really friendly and helpful. Our family room was lovely and clean... More

The hotel was very good value for money. better than we expected after reading some of the reviews on trip advisor. We were pleased that we did not go to the expense of a 5 star hotel as the 2 rooms with a sea view were stunning. The rooms were clean and well equipped. Cleaners come each day and the... More
