Editorial Summary

The creator visits a hotel in Blackpool that has received over 1,100 negative reviews on TripAdvisor to determine if the criticism is justified. Upon arrival, the creator notes the grand exterior and the hotel's historic atmosphere, which evokes a sense of the 1920s. After checking into a single room, the creator inspects various aspects of the accommodation, including the furniture, cleanliness, and bed comfort. While the creator identifies several issues, such as thin mattress toppers, visible springs, hair on the bedding, and grimy bathroom surfaces, they also note positive elements like pleasant scents and recent updates to some fixtures. The investigation extends to the hotel's common areas, where the creator observes creaky floors, stained glass windows with rotten wood causing drafts, and grand staircases. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while the hotel has cosmetic flaws and areas needing maintenance, the experience was not as terrible as the reviews suggested. The creator suggests that the hotel appears to be undergoing upgrades and that online reviews may not always provide an accurate representation of a stay.

Creator's Key Takeaways

some people were complaining about how cold the hotel is and i've just figured out why

it's actually really not that bad but just goes to show that you can't always believe the terrible reviews

i can almost see a little boy on a trike going up there and two girls standing at the end literally right where i'm going
