    The breakfast was just average. The hotel is a little faded. Bathroom doesn't have proper doors.

    Smoke alarm went off three time when we arrived because the room was very warm. Furniture lacking on the balcony and cricket lacking in the kitchen. Shower was in the bath … wondered why there was no walk in shower.

    Superb room with huge balcony overlooking the Bay

    Half a sea bream fillet but that has less to do with the hotel, more the restaurant within it. As you're free to eat anywhere in Morecambe so do that.

    We arrived a touch early for check in so we asked if we could leave the car while we had a wander around Morecambe. The receptionist said it was no problem and if she could get our room ready earlier she would call us to let us know. This lady was a trooper and honestly to her our room was ready early and she called us to let us know. We were personally greeted by name on our return to her and she was so pleasant. A total asset and immediately we felt happy and at home here. We stopped in the bog standard room. I'll be honest it was lovely. Nicely decorated, great facilities, lovely shower comfy bed, quiet cosy as many superlatives we can include here we would! All for a little more than a naff premier inn. We loved the feel of it and the amazing bits of design in the room. We felt relaxed above all! We checked the bar in the late afternoon and the staff there were outstanding. Great selection of drinks, yeah a little more than a pub, but you're paying for a nice view as well, so no bother there happy at that. We had our evening meal here. Now this is a mixed bag. You're obviously free to eat where ever so I aren't providing a score for the meal but more a description. So I had venison with wild garlic risotto which was really nice, well cooked full of umami and the risotto just a touch of firmness in the rice. Great stuff. My wife had the seabass fillet which was a special. For a £25 dish we felt half a seabass fillet that was slightly overcooked with a salad and a few chips in a side dish really wasn't good value. The sauce it came with was also a bit wishy washy. So £19 for Bambi with risotto was a score in my eyes. Advice. There's plenty of places to eat in Morecambe, eat in one of those. That aside the staff again were helpful and friendly to a tee and whilst the wife felt her meal could of been better, I was happy with mine. Breakfast was lovely.

    Unfortunately, the food in the evening in the restaurant, was not particularly good. The shrimps were tasteless. The mussels dish contained quite a number of shards of broken shell that were sharp and hidden by the sauce. Very risky!

    The hotel is very nice The view from the conservatory is lovely The staff are friendly Ample parking Close to amenities

    Dinner was appalling. No other word for it. Potted shrimps are NOT shrimps floating in warm oil. The ‘Pie of the week’ was a steak pie. I have never seen anything like it. It was the lowest quality meat in some kind of squashed pastry. It was tasteless. The mussels were very small, clearly very young. We sent back the dal main course as inedible. Dal should not be crunchy and it tasted foul. They refunded the cost of that dish. If you’re going to have dinner at the hotel, and I strongly suggest you don’t, have a burger or fish and chips. They could probably manage that.

    Breakfast good. Reasonable variety on offer. Great to have breakfast overlooking the bay. Attentive staff.

    I did not like the loss of the lovely formal restaurant, with the white table cloths and individual service. This together with the wonderful arena view over Morecambe Bay gave this hotel an edge over many others. Its specialness has been taken away and it has been reduced to nothing more than ordinary which I thought was sad. I did not like the new colour scheme of brown and creams which I found dull and drab and frankly depressing. I know that I am old school but guests allowed into the dining room during evening dinner in shorts is a source of regret. The problem being that there is no longer a definable dining room.

    The art deco aspect of the hotel and the wonderful view of Morecambe Bay . I liked just being in the hotel as it retains a certain ambience from its history, the lounge areas are comfortable to rest in and the staff on the whole are helpful and efficient. The bedroom was comfortable and the view over Morecambe Bay from my bedroom was a delight. Food was good and well prepared. Good choice at breakfast and the breakfast buffet was adequate. Breakfast was good but the lack of teapots and the supply of only small cups meant that you never really got a good cup of tea and had to keep returning to refresh the cup. Dinner was good but compared to how it used to be the menu lacked finesse. Fine dining it was not, so that the restaurant that had once been so special although still good was reduced to the ordinary, it reminded me of service in the average pub. The Midland is a lovely hotel but it is losing that which made it unique and special, which may be a sign of the times but I felt was sad. Reception staff were efficient, kind and helpful.

    It was a mixed blessing, but the owners should beware of turning The Midland into a pub with rooms.

    The dining room. Ordering at the bar. Quality of the menu and food at breakfast.

    This was our second visit, first since Inn Collection took it over. It's hard not to compare the two visits as, as far as I can tell, there was no sign of improvement from the new owners. Our sea view room with balcony was spotless, comfortable and spacious, with good bathroom accessories. The dining room was disappointing, having preferred the experience of white tablecloths and silver service, but it was not unpleasant and the staff were attentive, friendly and efficient. However, the food prompts a mixed response. Breakfast was nowhere near as good as previously. In fact, my partner sent his full English breakfast back uneaten as it was cold, the black pudding solid and the egg hard. He wasn't the only person to do so. He refused a replacement, as he had gone off the whole idea by then. One evening we both ordered the mussels, which were absolutely delicious and the chips with them were just like Mum used to make. It was a dish we couldn't fault. But somehow, with the ambience of a classy 4 star hotel, queuing and ordering food and drinks at the bar is very out of place and quite annoying. I know the clue is in the name of the new owners - The Inn Collection - but it's a huge mistake to try and treat The Midland as just another inn and you have to wonder why they took over a hotel with such a striking difference in service provision. However, we love The Midland and it's unique location and will probably stay again in the future.

    I was with a brother with special needs. There was space, the bar areas were comfortable, the room was airy and spacious and the bathroom was easy to use and not cramped. There was also adequate space for clothing for two people up to 3 days we only stayed one night.

    Windows didn’t open so had to have door open onto the balcony to get air as it was so hot. Slightly strange layout of bathroom - loo hiding behind folding door - but meant if you turned on light person nearest the bathroom got it full on and pitch black otherwise. By 9.30 breakfast was a bit tired.

    Amazing location. Friendly and helpful staff.
