We have had some glorious sunny weather this past week to ten days. And it looks set to continue for the rest of this week. It's even warm enough for shorts! This week we have a small group of people booked through Blackpool Breaks based in Glasgow. It's a 4 night break and then we have the weekend free before we have 2 coaches arrive for another midweek break. We have about ten rooms left (mostly twins) for anyone hoping to book for 2 April. We are full to bursting over Easter and the weekend after which is the Grand National.
We have had a couple of coach cancellations though for 23 and 30 April so get in touch now to take advantage of our Special Offer which is still running. You can stay for 7 nights bed, breakfast and evening meal for £200 each person. (valid until end of August) Call us to book now.

Photos added & Mother's Day
We have added the photos in one of the posts below of the damage caused to some of our rooms. As you can see, quite a lot and that isn't everything.
However we are continuing with our efforts to update some rooms and we have now finished room 216. See the photos below and let us know what you think.
We have a coach group booked in this weekend from Blackpool Breaks for Mother's Day. There is entertainment each evening and we still have a couple of rooms left if you want to make a last minute booking with them or direct with us. We have also come up with a new Special Offer that has yet to be added to our online booking site but if you call or email us we can take your reservation either way. It is for 7 nights Bed and Breakfast for £175 each person (valid until 31 August).
Finally our new brochures have been printed and delivered so get in touch if you would like one posted to you. We are hoping to add it digitally to our website too as a PDF so will let you know when it happens.

Beautiful weather ...
... we are having right now. Quite warm and sunny for this time and year so long may it continue.
We are still updating some of the rooms and the stairs and corridors are nearly finished with the new carpet. Hoping they will be all done by the end of today. The first room we redecorated (see post below) is now put back together and the second room is almost finished too. We just have the damaged rooms to fix now and then we should be done, for now at least.
We have some weekend breaks booked in every weekend until we are open full time which is usually Easter. We still have some Special Offers running so check out our website and online booking facility for details.
Get in touch to make your booking via phone - 01253 624888, email - reservations @ latourhotel dot co dot uk, fax - 01253 625378 or you can send us a completed booking form (available on our website) to 92 Albert Road, Blackpool, FY1 4PR.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Shenanigans!
It is quite annoying sometimes working in this industry when despite all your hard work, lots of money and years of ongoing maintenance, some people can ruin it all in one night! We have had to eject a group booked in this weekend for damaging two of our rooms. Both of which were recently redecorated (see posts below for evidence) and being our wheelchair accessible/family rooms are in constant demand. However as the photos (to be added shortly - EDIT now done, see below) will show they will need a fair bit of work doing to get them back to normal. One of rooms damaged was not even allocated to this group but they broke in, thereby ripping the door frame completely off! (see below)
This has now been repaired with a whole new frame needing to be sourced.
Squashed metal bin
The rest of the broken bin
One of many scuffs/stains on the doors/wallpaper
Burnt lamp shade
Blinds ripped off the frame
A sock covering the smoke detector - illegal and a fine-able offence!
Thermostat broken off the radiator
Border paper peeled off due to being soaked by discharged fire extinguishers
The remains of the kettle thrown out of the window
As you can imagine we are quite disheartened, especially in such lean economic times when no one can ill afford to spend money they shouldn't have to. Obviously we are pursuing the full repair/replacement costs from the group concerned and are considering instituting a damage deposit for groups who have not stayed with us before.
We'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this idea and what you consider to be a reasonable amount to ask for. Obviously the deposit would be refunded when we have checked all is well with the rooms.
Let us know by leaving a comment.

See further damage below (please note we have not shown everything!)
The remains of the blinds also thrown out
