Midland Hotel

“Heaven for art deco geeks”

My partner is an art deco fan, so it was great to experience The Midland. We loved the architecture and the decor.

My partner is an art deco fan, so it was great to experience The Midland. We loved the architecture and the decor. It would be good if there was some art deco style furniture in the lobby to add to the atmosphere. Our room was a feature double on the roof with brilliant sea views. I loved lying in the bath in the bedroom and watching the sea. I don’t the food in the evening was that great for vegetarians, but the Rotunda bar was fab. The staff were really busy, but very good.

“Lovely stay but understaffed”

We stayed for 2 nights while visiting my brother in Morecambe. We paid for a sea view. The room was lovely, very large, with 2 comfy chairs to sit and watch the sea.

We stayed for 2 nights while visiting my brother in Morecambe. We paid for a sea view. The room was lovely, very large, with 2 comfy chairs to sit and watch the sea. We also had a balcony which runs along the length of the hotel, so although you don't get your own private balcony, it was fine in February when you don't really want to sit out. The ensuite is a little odd. It was fine for us, but something to note if you have mobility issues. The toilet is accessed by a hinged L-shaped 'cupboard' door which opens out to reveal the toilet. There is also a step up into the shower cubicle. As I mentioned, it was absolutely fine for us, but check on booking if you have mobility issues as it would be rather awkward to access both the toilet and shower (as my sister-in-law's 97 year old aunt, who uses a walker, found out when they stayed). There is a rainhead shower fixed into the ceiling, but I do like a separate hand-held one too, but that's personal preference. Our room was very hot. We couldn't turn the radiator off in the bathroom, the control just spun round and round (room 206). The large mirror in the bathroom is also heated to stop it steaming up, but that made it even hotter. We left the window open for the duration of our stay. The bed was comfortable and it was clean. We couldn't find a shaver point anywhere for charging toothbrushes etc. so would bring an adapter next time. Breakfast on the first morning was a shambles. There were 2 cereal bowls, both looked dirty. There were no teaspoons and all the coffee pots were empty. My husband asked if they could refill them and replenish bowls and teaspoons. We sat waiting for 40 minutes for somebody to take our order. We only got an order in then because we grabbed the attention of the girl as she walked past. This was the girl behind reception, who was trying to do 3 different jobs! It was woefully understaffed, on a busy Sunday morning when non-residents were also coming in for breakfast. My husband kept checking the coffee situation. A young lad filled up one pot, but it was emptied in about 30 seconds as everybody was waiting for it! There was a lot of grumbling from customers. The hot water in the urn for tea also ran out by this point. My husband eventually got a cup of coffee after we'd eaten our breakfast, over an hour later from first sitting down! The breakfast itself was good and cooked fresh, but the whole event took an hour and a half! A lot of time could be saved by having sauces on the tables too, as staff are then running backwards and forwards delivering ramekins of sauce. The next morning my brother and sister-in-law joined us and it was much better, there seemed to be more staff, which was odd, so everything was topped up promptly. The staff themselves were pleasant and helpful and obviously work hard as there just aren't enough of them. Special mention to the young girl on reception who cleared tables, took food orders and managed reception while still smiling. Although there were some negative points, we would stay here again as the location is ideal with great views across Morecambe Bay. Our room, although very warm, was nice and the staff are pleasant and hard-working.

Went to Morcambe for the day.My wife is a fan of Agatha Christie so we went to the Midland where some scenes were taken for the program. The Art Deco Hotel is beautiful the entrance hall and staircase wonderfull. However the outside is looking a little tired paint flaking and cement showing through.We decided to have Lunch there,the view from the dining room is lovely looking over the bay.The food is ok nothing spcial but neither is it expensive.The bar staff were very good and the service for the meal good.I would think at busy times it's best to book a table.We looked around and alot of tables were reserved,and some of the tables were dirty.
