Absolute steal for sure. Wouldn't like to stay for 5 nights and having 250 quid held. Talk about taking money out of the local community. Great vid pal

Exactly! Cheers for the support 😊

The price is not bad really. I think with these old style hotels in Blackpool, you need to expect that the place is going to be a bit dated. On entrance (Ground Floor) all looks nice around reception, dining room and bar areas. Once you start to go to your room, typical narrow corridors, lots of door to push open, small lifts, old carpets in corridors, small rooms and bathrooms. It may suit some people more than others. Blackpool hotels are used to a high turnover in customers. If you just want somewhere to get your head down for the night, you can't really go wrong. The location is perfect. I am not sure if 'All Inclusive' is a winner for Blackpool. However there are still a lot of elderly who visit and may rely on the hotel more. One thing is for sure. I would not use the pool or it's facilities. Looked unsafe and grubby. Plus the holding back of money (£50pn) This is not necessary. So No I would not stay here personally.

GOOD MORNING 🌄 EXCELLENT VIDEO AS USUAL JOHN FROM BELFAST THANKS 😮😅😊😅😮😢

I was at the doctor's today and there were 2 people there from the Doric Hotel who had left all their medication at home and needed a prescription as were on holiday.

Another great review. 50 pounds being held is ridiculous. Thanks for your excellent video.

Kettle looked ok to me

I never used to check the kettle in hotels , I do it every time now, but it has to be really bad before I miss my brew, I'm a bit of tea addict

I've stayed at the Doric many times they've never took any money extra from me it's probably because you payed £37 because it's a lot dearer than what you payed

As a security deposit

So you got changed £50 a night deposit? That’s ridiculous I’ve never heard of a deposit being paid in BLACKPOOL what if you didn’t have it? The room looks adequate I suppose it’s ok for the money but your kettle didn’t look 👀 good I wouldn’t have used it at least the air dryer is working but what’s the use in using it if you can’t wash your hair in the shower lol 😂 the 2nd room looks better

Sounds as though they have had trouble with non payers in the past. I have been in hotels who take the credit card no and operate a cashless tab where you charge to the room and settle up at the end so perhaps they have had people not paying and doing a bunk.
