Midland Hotel

Great example of Art Deco Check-in was easy and our room was spacious and well maintained. It’s a great example of Art Deco and worth a stay just to enjoy the design features of a past era.

Disappointed Stopover on way back from Scotland in well known art deco hotel in amazing location overlooking Morecambe Bay. Reception part of bar area. Staff gave poor impression. Bar & food area looked uninviting apart from the views. Room quirky at best. Beds not properly made. Views lovely. Breakfast awful. Poor ingredients. Slow service. Not worth the charge.

Disappointed. Very disappointed at the Midland. Scaffolding in place for renovations interrupted the view from our room but we were not told about it and staff said they were told not to inform guests upon booking. We had specifically requested and paid for a sea view room too! The room felt very ‘thrown together’ and not very comfortable. We only had breakfast included in our one night stay and it was good. It was clear that staff were extremely committed to doing their best for the hotel. As renovations are underway, in my opinion it would had been far better to close the place and crack on with the work.

RIP The Midland Hotel. This hotel used to be smart, stylish and elegant. It is now in a poor state of repair, there is no proper reception desk and now looks cheap. The once stylish dining room is now filled with mismatched pub style tables and chairs. It feels more like a Wetherspoons than a stylish dining room. Cheap tables and chairs are on the lawn outside. One of these tables was occupied by a man who could barely walk as he was so drunk. He staggered past us in the restaurant, sat down outside, dropped his phone then urinated on himself, the grass and his phone. The food in the restaurant was nice but not the same standard it used to be. Very expensive given the pub style feel. Cheap looking chairs and tacky barrel style tables outside the rotunda bar. We didn’t bother going in the bar and we didn’t stay for breakfast, we didn’t want any more disappointment. It looks as if the windows haven’t been cleaned for months, the whole exterior needs painting, there is damaged render in numerous places and large chunks of broken plaster dumped on a balcony. This is a listed building but it appears the new owners don’t care about that and they are just trading off the former glory and reputation of the Midland. The new owners should be ashamed of themselves. We heard a number of people commenting on how the hotel has been ruined. My husband and I have visited this hotel so many times and it has been fabulous every time, until now. I’m very sad to say we won’t be going back

The room was amazing. Don’t bother eating in the restaurant, though. It’s like a pub, but it takes longer to get served I waited for an hour for my drinks in the end. I just had to go to the bar myself. Probably the worst restaurant experience I’ve had.
