Great short stay

Owners and Pip are very lovely. Place is nice and tidy. Right around the corner from all the fun at the front. Fantastic on site parking. Great breakfast in the morning. Room small but perfectly adequate. Shower was impressive, usually not powerful at all in these places. Bed was also comfortable and the 3 of us slept very well. Was very impressed for what I paid. It's a charming little place. Will be first port of call when we return to Blackpool.

Avoid if you want a good nights sleep

When arriving at the Rio Rita the man greeted us advising us where to park. Parking was free however extremely tight that we couldn't get into our car again until the other car pulled out. The room was smaller than we thought, also booked a double and 2 singles for our family of 4 to find it small bunkbeds instead! The kettle was full of limescale, there was cobwebs everywhere. The bed.... where do we start, absolutely ROCK hard!! The other family who stayed also mentioned to us about how uncomfortable the beds were. The breakfast you pre order the night we arrived.... well don't bother! Crap tasteless meat, beans the cheapest.... and unless your there at 9am its luke warm. The gentlemen was lovely, talkative, welcoming and friendly.... the woman, miserable, rude and very unwelcoming...

Dissapointing & horrible damp smell !

Sorry to say this B&B was dissapointing. There was a horrible smell of dampness as soon as you entered.The Rooms were so cramped & small once you put your suitcase & any other belongings on the floor very little room to move. Not enough hangers for 2 people & 2 working sockets for charging phones & hair styling tools very outdated for this day & age. Some brickwork fell down on the window ledge & just missed me! There was still some left of it on the open window. The breakfast was ok, i like dogs but their dog was in the dining room & barked a lot which was annoying & if anyone had alergies that wasn't so good.The couple who owned it, the man was pleasant enough but the women was very ignorant towards us ! Only showed her face when we weren't around, as we had went to get our belongings when we where leaving & had to go through the dining area to get to my sons car & she was there standing talking to other residents. I said goodbye to her & she struggled to respond ! Needless to say i would not recommend this place to anyone !

Not so good

we arrived and as we entered the property at the front door there was an instant musky smell as you entered, they have a dog which barked a LOT, and was even allowed into the dining area in the mornings as we had our breakfast, the dog barked a lot as we had breakfast and owners just seem to accept that their dog barked, I for one like to have a peaceful early morning breakfast and couldent finish my food quickly enough so as to get out again, also my wife and myself like an afternoon nap, alas dog was barking all the time so could hardly have an hours sleep in the afternoon.

John welcomed us and was very helpful with free parking. The room was a decent size on the top floor in the attic. It had been cleaned, with tea and coffee facilities, but had a dodgy damp smell. The shower was terrible, luke warm and only a trickle of pressure. The B&B itself was clean, but had that smell, and was seriously dated. Nicotine beige artex walls throughout. The bed was comfy to lie on, but had that damp feel and smell about it, which got worse throughout the course of the stay. Breakfast was fresh, hot and perfectly adequate. The other guests were pleasant. I wouldn’t stay again nor recommend, but having said that, it is Blackpool and I’ve stayed in worse!

Hotel is in a great location for the pleasure beach. Room gets unbareably warm, which cannot be helped as it is summer however no fan provided. Was warned on arrival that the hotel is for families and children (we were 3 girls) and that we were to keep the noise down, yet in the room next to us (2 guys) were not warned the same way. I’d like to note that we hadn’t done anything to prompt the warning. The kettle in the room didn’t work, neither did one of the plug sockets so this made life difficult. Cute dog, but starts barking from early in the morning which is a little irritating.
