Empire Blackpool Apartments - Tyldesley Road

We booked the LUXURY apartment suitable for a family to stay. (Apartment2) This isnt correct my children had nowhere to stay as the sofa beds are unusable springs visible and very uncomfortable to sit on nevermind sleep on. We ended up going out and buying an inflatable sofa bed just so the kids had somewhere to sit/sleep. When we first entered the room it looked clean and presentable then i started to move the plates set on the breakfast table which were full of grease/hair/dust i wiped the plates with a napkin and they were thick with dust. In the bedroom you can see the wall surely needs some TLC right at the bedside. Our frontdoor looked as if it had been kicked in at some point and they had done a botched job trying to fix it as the lock was clearly not sturdy/safe. The kettle was filthy inside, knives from the drawers thick with dried food, hairs on the toilet, crisps crumbs in the fridge and the freezer was barely usable (over frozen). Also the fire alarm in our room was hanging off the ceiling. In my opinion i would not give this a luxury status.

When we first arrived at the apartments we did not know what to expect as from the outside it was the pleasant of looking of places. Once we got our key and went into flat 2 on the ground floor we were pleasantly surprised. The living room/kitchen was well looked after with new kitchen appliances, the bedroom had a double bed and wardrobe and the bathroom had sink, toilet, bath and shower and was also quite new. During our two day stay we though we got a good deal for the 4 of us at less than £130 and a great location to everything. The few negatives about the apartment was the sofa beds were rally bed to sit on/sleep on due to them having broken springs stricken to, no idea how to get the jacuzzi on the bath but wasn’t really bothered. Other things which we move it to 4/5 would be a bit of paint here and there, the door the the flat was very stiff and also a brush/shovel to tidy up a little. Would we go back to place, 100% yes. Note for people using the property is that on street parking is free but is limit which we weren’t able to use. We paid £22 near by but found out later on there was a cheaper car park 100 yards away at £17 for two nights.
