One night stay blue water hotel
The hotel is due to undergo a refurbishment. We had a family room 3 single beds. 1 double bed. The beds. were so comfy. Slept really well. the quilt covers. Pillow cases and towels were spotless. Nice clean and fresh. The pillows even had pillow protectors in them. Our room needed an vacuum over but we were only there for 1 night , toilet and shower separate a bonus. Breakfast adequate plenty of choice. If you dont want a 4 star for the money would recommend 👌 staff friendly and helpfull. Breakfast staff seemed a bit rushed but was busy .

Great staff in a tired old building
The positives about the Bluewaters is definitely the staff! They where, helpful, polite and very pleasant.
The breakfasts were very good, lots of choice and plentiful
Unfortunately, what let the hotel down was cleanliness - the dust in our room was so thick you could write your name in it, the cups/glasses hadn't been used in such a long time they had a skin of dust/grime on them - though the bedsheets/duvets did seem to be clean.
Sadly in need of an update - but for whatr we paid, we can't complain

I have just returned from this hotel and it was pleasant but I'm not overly sure I got the room I payed for I booked the bigger room size and ended up in a very small room on the ground floor I've booked again for next may before I came to stay this time and to be honest I'm coming for a birthday celebration and a hen do I'm just hoping I'm not let down next time

Very nice hotel to stay in, with a very reasonable rate. The only issue I had was that the lift was out of order all weekend. Otherwise, everything else was excellent. Friendly staff and good food too. Would recommend.

Avoid unless you are looking for a horrific time
If u want to be met with HIDDEN charges then this is the place to stay! Advertised a pool no where on any of the websites does it state there’s an additional charge until after you have booked which is unfortunate if it was non refundable room. The bathroom was filthy which I cleaned myself and it was full of hair and dust. Waited over 5 minutes for someone to actually arrive at reception to check me in and zero information given other than the room number and the time of breakfast. Advertised as near the centre it is definitely closer to the north end! Paid the extra to have breakfast included which was actually ok. I feel the website does not match the building at all and it’s a complete catfish hotel that false advertises

Bluewater Hotel, Blackpool
Hotel was average as hotels go. Check in was smooth and they had a drop box for check out. The walls were paper thin so we could hear the people in the next room throwing up. Our room was basic and could have done with a lick of paint. The bathroom did not appear as if it had been cleaned at all, stains in the toilet and shower dirty. Breakfast was good and there was plenty of this along with choice, our friend who stayed at a neighbouring hotel paid £9.50 to join us, ours was included in the price. If you want to park outside the hotel it’s £6 if you pay at reception for 24 hours. If you pay using the app for NCP it’s £14.95. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk from the Blackpool Tower away from the general bustle of Blackpool.

The rooms need updating, there wasn't enough staff you had to get the receptionist to come and serve you on the bar, you had to pay £5 per person for the swimming pool for a hour we paid for parking at the hotel then when we got home a few days later was giving a penalty notice off £60 for parking in the hotel car park something isn't right so why do you have to pay twice to park on the hotel carpark.

Very basic room, not cleaned the best.. hairs on floor and dusty bathroom floor, cracks in walls. Also very noisy until late at night but thats due to other guests.. single glazed windows so can hear almost everything outside too. Dont think it was worth the £117 a night price tag to be honest but my kids enjoyed there time at the seaside and thats all that matters.

Not what I was expected!
Lift was out and was on the 3rd floor 😫
Was in a triple room, but it was so cramped and nothing like the photo.
Had a sea view, but the windows were filthy.
