“The Midway seems to be a property where some basic maintenance and safety checks are needed. While the location in Blackpool might be convenient, reports of broken furniture, sparking electrical outlets, and potential fire hazards raise serious concerns. I believe that prospective guests should carefully consider these factors before booking.”
