We’ll be back in the summer ##### Gemma Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah Jun 22, 2025 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. ##### Sarah Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### k Nov 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### No complaints would recommend I have absolutely no complaints, room very clean and modern, warm and comfortable with amazing pillows for a great night sleep ##### k Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cheryl Oct 6, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities On the night of our stay, myself, my friend, 10-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter were locked out of the property late at night for over an hour in torrential rain and wind, with all of our belongings trapped inside. The electronic door system failed and there were no staff on site to assist us. We were instead directed to a cleaner through a phone call, who admitted she didn’t know what to do, and later a man with a toolbox (whose connection to the property was unclear) who had to break in through the back of the property to restore access. This raised an even more serious issue: there were other guests trapped inside the hotel who had no way of exiting. In the event of a fire or other emergency, this could have had catastrophic consequences. Once we finally regained entry, further problems were clear: There was no heating in the room. No hot water was available for showers to warm up leaving us all shivering and cold in wet clothes. Cold water smelt strange like sewerage. No staff were present on the premises at any time. On top of this, numerous published reviews describe highly concerning behaviour by the owner, including allowing strangers into guests’ rooms at night without permission. This, combined with our experience, shows a consistent pattern of unsafe and unacceptable management. This was supposed to be a celebratory trip for my son’s 10th birthday, but instead it caused unnecessary stress, upset, and a real sense of danger. Owner will not respond to me. ##### Cheryl Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Nov 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Mary Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Sep 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kyle Oct 6, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Stayed for 1 night with partner and 2 children in standard room with 1 double bed and bunk beds. On street parking was full but found nearby parking for £10 for 24hours. Check in was easy and smooth. Room was in a poor condition, everything was worn and in need of replacement. Damage to walls and ceiling above the bed with visible leak damage. All damage poorly attempted to be hidden with a poor paint job but still very visible. Windows with major condensation and mould around frames. Several damaged areas on carpet including large iron burn. Bed was dirty with visible marks to sheets, didn’t look as though it was stained just appeared to be unwashed. There was cigarette ash on bathroom floor. Shower was very small however didn’t make a difference as was unable to use it due to no hot water. Room was also cold with no working heating. Messaged host when checked out to advise on heating but not response. Reading through other reviews it appears this is a regular occurrence. Trip was only manageable as was just 1 night, if we were in the area for any longer we would have moved to another B&B or hotel. Only positive is location as within walking distance to all main attractions. ##### Kyle Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma May 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great accommodation Comfy clean and friendly ##### Emma Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### leanne Apr 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Stayed in room 1\.

No hot water for the shower. Next door room had a family with kids that made noise until 1am. At one point someone tried to open our door, I suspect it was the kids from next door as they way coming to their room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon Jan 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location and staff couldn’t do enough for us very good ##### Simon Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Royal Horseguards, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-Horseguards.h25926.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Ritz-London.h28146.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-President-Hotel.h54995.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Bedford.h54993.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza County Hall London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-County-Hall-London.h1742184.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Charing Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h5169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h10939.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Mayfair London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-May-Fair.h7606.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Westminster-London.h914179.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landmark London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Landmark-London.h438653.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [St Martins Lane London, a Morgans Originals hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Martins-Lane-London.h470865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Victoria London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Victoria-London.h801796.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Containers London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sea-Containers-London.h8466215.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-CitizenM-Tower-Of-London.h14736047.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Langham.h22099.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Fitzroy London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kimpton-Fitzroy-London.h21514.Hotel-Information)
