Bay at Winter Gardens by PolkaStays

AVOID AVOID AVOID Been going to Blackpool for 45 years and by far the worst experience yet Positive: It’s a flat so no breakfast but plenty places around to eat in but location wasn’t great as it was so close to all the pubs etc so very noisy with all the hen and stag parties at night which was hard to sleep through with kids Negative: 1. Had to pay a £200 breakage deposit to get the entry code to access the property on arrival which you need to provide picture driving licence for which was a huge hassle via email after driving almost 4 hours 2.Water poured through bathroom ceiling when upstairs flat were using the shower and nobody answers the customer number for this emergency, they email you back hours later and still nothing gets done and nobody comes to assist . 3. There were 6 of us but only 2 could have a shower as the water goes ice cold very quickly 4. The very small alley way to the accommodation was constantly filled with men AND women urinating day and night which was very disturbing for my children as I had to carry them over it to avoid it getting on their shoes and caused my sister to leave with my niece and drive 200 miles home.

Don't ever stay here Positive: Absolutely nothing do not stay here ever. We had no running water for 2 days so couldn't wash or shower, make drinks or wash pots and even flush the toilet it was absolutely disgusting and unacceptable Negative: No running water and we were locked outside the apartment at 10.45pm at night for 45 minutes as the door keypad died. We finally got in after waking my 84 year old mother in law out of bed, we got into bed and at midnight the host rang us to see if we could let another family in who were locked outside they were supposed to fix the door within the hour but still wasn't fixed when we checked out at 10am

Absolut pleasure staying there wel worth the money Positive: It’s a very lovely clean place definitely recommend and will be staying there again Negative: Nothing it was all amazing

Extremely disappointed with this apartment. Will not be booking again or recommending to others. Positive: It was close to the event we were attending at the Winter Gardens. Negative: The amount of rubbish in the bays along the access path and on the flat roofs. The front door keypad numbers are incredibly difficult to see during daylight hours, especially in bright sunshine. There is only one toilet in the apartment for six people, which caused issues for our party. The shower wasn’t working so we couldn’t use it on the Friday and Saturday morning. It was only by chance we encountered maintenance at the apartment and they managed to get it working. Although it kept going hot to cold and the water slowed to a trickle whenever other taps in the building were being used. There was no TV in the living room as depicted in the photographs on the booking site and the apartment was dirty and generally in a poor state of repair. The bedding was tatty and felt dirty and we couldn’t get hot water from the toilet/shower room sinks.

Positive: Great but shower is boiling or ice cold. Not good when you have 3 kids and 2 adults trying to get clean
