Review 93：Evening meal was very good with a varied choice, it was adults only which was also a bonus, entertainment was very good on both nights
Review 94：My only quibble was how hot the bedroom was... that was probably just down to a one off heating issue.
Review 95：Absolutely fantastic food and entertainment will definitely return.
Review 96：just one lady on reception and one in the bar down stairs very sharp and rude not good, also the seating for the entertainment as we had to sit side ways , giving you a stiff neck.

Review 99：Food and entertainment were excellent. Rooms are clean.
Review 100：Waiters in dinning room wernt very good had to ask fortea coffe every morning and waited about 10 mins to get it. Bottled water should have been on tables in dining room freeof charge Ice cubes for drinks should have been bought in like other places we went to.
Review 101：Entertainment is excellent that is why we come and stay food is good but you need to chane the menu upa bit
Review 102：Bedroom was very dated ( furniture and carpets) Bedroom furniture and edges of carpet were very dusty.
Review 103：Entertainment was fantastic. Varied and all very enjoyable. All staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Buddy Lee & Oxygen --- SO FAB.
Review 104：We brought my ill elderly mother who loves Blackpool and Bingo. We wasn't told information about having to get the tickets before six o'clock so we missed it on Monday. My husband and i planned our day to be back to buy the tickets for Tuesday only to be told its only on Monday and Wednesday. What a disappointment. My mother only has months to live and was so looking forward to it for a few weeks but it never happened.
Review 105：The Entertainment was very good as was the food and the staff.The room seemed very dark and wasn't entirely clean but overall a good few days away.
Review 106：car parking is awful the side barrier is still not working so anyone parks there we got blocked totally in and had to wait from 950 till 11 for a porter to move the offending car so we could leave which really should be sorted out
Review 107：brilliant entertainment lovely hot buffet breakfast and good choice of evening meals lovely clean friendly adult only hotel
Review 108：not the vikings fault but with the water trouble couldnt buy some drinks i would have liked to have
Review 109：always fansastic stay at the viking food, room and entertainment all fansastic always fantastic food the steak is to die for and of course buddy lee and terry cotta had us in stiches all night and fantastic oxygen was fab to
Review 110：The room we stayed in the bathroom was pretty disgusting, and also far to hot with hardly and air coming through the tiny window.. asthma suffers beware!! Only one set of ladies toilets at the bottom of a dodgy stairway..not good for soap's. One tiny lift going to all floors.. so bad at the end of an evening. The entertainment was a complete let down not only was our allocated seats pinched by bad mannered guests who thought they had a right to take ours seats. The compare lost his audience by continually concentrating on one table of guests at the front and spoiling it for the rest..
Review 111：The friendly staff. The food.
Review 112：Lovely room at the back, but the heat in the room was unbearably, spoke to other couples, who had the same issue....we had no sleep, will be contacting choice hotels.
Review 113：Good staff, food choice good, entertainment enjoyable
Review 114：Being charged £1.40 for small bottle of water after news that water contaminated in Blackpool & NW & everything had to be boiled even preparation of food stuff so we packed that same evening & returned home instead of following day. Also no ramp leading into hotel or indeed up to reception for heavy cases, wheelchairs or those with slight walking/climbing infirmaties even though hotel is for adults only.....
Review 115：Friendliness, cabaret, evening meal as didn't go down for breakfast
Review 116：The entertainment was very good the quality was excellent but you can enjoy a singer sing the same song many times but a comedian cannot get away with the same jokes year after year ,1st time visitors think that the act is hilarious after several visits it becomes stale
Review 117：Food was excellent entertainment was first class the staff could not have been more friendly
Review 118：the stairs leading up to floor 4 in my opinion require a hand rail as we both are in in our late years
Review 119：the best food that we have experenced at any hotel.l.the bathroom was very clean and well presented. the food hall was well laid out. the staff were very helpful.
Review 120：Restaurant tables too close together. No choice of seating offered. Problem with the lamb meal, being returned to kitchen by many clients. This then meant the chicken dish ran out.
Review 121：Entertainment was good
Review 122：Only thing I can think off that we didn't like was our room, the room itself was very clean but the view from the window left a lot to be desired it basically look out onto a wall, not a nice out look for my elderly mum as it made the room rather dull . The whole idea of a nice holiday kind of got dampened
Review 123：Took my elderly mum for a little holiday , liked the hotel as it had entertainment nightly also every meal & breakfast was absolutely perfect, staff were very helpful and pleasant
Review 124：Lovely welcoming hotel, bars and restaurant were modern. Staff in restaurant were very nice and chatty. Good location on front near family pubs, pier and pleasure beach. Would definitely stay here again :)
Review 125：Couple next door left fan running in toilet could not get to sleep for the noise.
Review 126：Staff were all friendly, felt welcomed at hotel and cabaret was great
Review 127：Cramped room, no fan, way too hot, tiny bathroom, told I was paying for a sea view and got put in a room overlooking an alleyway with just a brick wall to look at for a view, was completely ripped off at around £200 for 2 nights stay
Review 128：The communal areas were the only nice thing about the hotel, and the location wasn't too bad
Review 129：The lift was an issue when we used it we still had stairs to tackle with our mother in law who is bad on her feet.
Review 130：We liked the fact you had the same dining table and the dining arrangements. Also enjoyed having a table reserved for you in the evening
Review 131：Parking has become a problem Arrived at 2pm, with all spaces taken. Some kind chap let us block him in. An hour later a space became available when a car with children in left. Funny being adults only hotel. Made start of holiday stressful.
Review 132：Everything else. Food, staff, entertainment.
Review 133：The rooms could do with modernising and showers instead of bath as a lot of people are elderly and fined it difficult getting in the bath.
Review 134：The food was excellent and the night club was excellent
Review 135：The rooms were very hot and stuffy with only a top opening window and no air conditioning, making it difficult to sleep. The outside temperature was quite cool can imagine it would be very uncomfortable in warm weather.
Review 136：Great location, great entertainment. Food was excellent with plenty of choice.
Review 137：The problem I had was with the shower. I do look forward to having a nice power shower in a hotel. However the pressure was awful. At times the water just trickled out. When I spoke to them about it on reception I was told that when a lot of people are taking a shower the pressure is down but I am afraid in a hotel you are paying for a good service so they need to improve those facilities.
Review 138：Food was great and the location.
Review 139：Just the bedrooms could do with updating.
Review 140：The food in this hotel is exceptional, I'm sure you couldn't find better. Also the entertainment is brilliant, great comedians, singers & dancers. Will definitely revisit.
Review 141：staff miserable sorry to say , felt like they wanted you to hurry up had to find someone to get drinks and wine very expensive at £15 for a bottle of house white and £1. 20 for soda water that is free every where else
Review 142：The compare
Review 143：I liked the helpful staff. The dining room and food where very good. Entertainment was good but for two oldish people started too late. Overall stay was good, no complaints.
