The hotel has a fantastic location right next to the North Pier, making it easy to explore Blackpool. However, the rooms fell short with cleanliness issues and outdated decor. The dining experience was decent, but some options could be improved. Overall, it's affordable, but you might want to consider other hotels for a more pleasant stay.

I have mixed feelings about my stay here. The hotel has some charm with its vintage decor and friendly staff. However, the rooms need a bit of attention, and the noise from the nightlife can be overwhelming at times. While the value for money is decent, there are definitely areas that could be improved, particularly regarding the dining options and general upkeep.

Our stay at the Metropole Hotel left much to be desired. While the location is quite central, making it easy to explore Blackpool, the overall condition of the hotel was disappointing. The room we received did have a nice sea view, but it was not well maintained. The dining experience was also lacking, as the food quality didn't meet expectations. Despite the value for money, I wouldn't recommend returning due to the poor cleanliness and service.
