Blackpool's stadium hotel has been making headlines for its unusual policy of enforcing a 3pm blackout for guests. The policy, which is in place due to EFL rules, means that guests are unable to watch matches from their rooms. This has left some guests feeling frustrated and disappointed, especially those who were looking forward to watching the match from the comfort of their own room. The policy has been in place for some time, but it has only recently come to light due to a recent article in The Guardian. The article, which was written by a journalist who was staying at the hotel, details the experience of being unable to watch the match from their room. The journalist describes the experience as 'bizarre' and 'cruel', and notes that it is not all bad - the hotel does offer free wifi and a selection of complimentary soaps. However, the policy has been met with criticism from some guests, who feel that it is unfair and unnecessary. The EFL rules that are in place are designed to prevent guests from being distracted by the match, but some feel that they go too far. The policy has sparked a debate about the rights of hotel guests and the rules that are in place to govern their behavior. It remains to be seen how the policy will be received by guests in the future.
