Room had odd smell.
Response from The Alpha Guest Accommodation:
Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. I have checked out the "odd smell" you mentioned and think it is due to the fresh flowers (Night Scented Stock) in the reception area. Very strong perfume. Thanks again.

"slept ok, in rooms that need some care and attention. Shame about a wandering dog"
Hosts were pleasant, but very unsure. Not quite the welcome we expected. Room was generally clean, although damp ceiling was obvious and the house had a 'old' smell about it. Much to our suprise the owners dog met us in the hallway, which didn't go down well with my son. Dog hairs in communal areas. Breakfast was adequate but we have had better, for less money. Possibly more suitable for a different generation (not being ageist here, just from what we saw and interactions we had). Read less

Response from The Alpha Guest Accommodation:
Readers should compare it to the other reviews we have had on this site, and Laterooms.com. Apology for the actions of my 10 months collie pup. This is an isolated incident as it is not allowed to “wander ”around the hotel. However we advertise that we accept small dogs.The “Old smell” is due to fresh flowers , specifically “Night Scented Stock” in the hallway. See our breakfast menu at alphablackpool.co.uk and see whether you regard it as “adequate” Visit Britain inspectors said “outstanding”
