Manhattan Hotel

This is definitely not a hotel - It is truly at best a refuge /half way house . Looking at previous photos I would say it’s been taken over recently and the rooms rented out . There is no bar , no reception - just a key safe at the front to collect your room key . The door was open when we arrived for anyone to come in . We are a couple celebrating my birthday and chose somewhere cheap and cheerful as we had booked a show in the evening and just wanted somewhere clean to sleep . When we arrived at 4pm we were greeted with a filthy room with one single bed , it stunk of cigarettes , had not seen a cleaner for a long time , the wallpaper was peeling off , cigarette burns everywhere and felt very unsafe . It took us half an hour to contact the ‘management company’ who were not interested whatsoever and were quite rude. They eventually offered to send a care taker round . After an hour and a half wait for a caretaker who still hadn’t arrived, we called back to be offered another single bed in the same filthy room or a move to the Lancaster apartments (please see the one star reviews that mention blood up the walls and a place too dirty to wash) - we declined the offer and at 6pm were running around Blackpool trying to find somewhere else which we found and had to fork out extra . No show pre drinks as planned or even time to get changed. We bumped into the caretaker on the way out who apologised for being late but had been dealing with complaints at the place they had tried to move us to ! Please avoid this hell hole - it is not the same place the owner has the cheek to advertise on the site . I wouldn’t let my dog stay here .
