I booked the perfect hotel room for my family, everything was great until I opened the curtains, I was gobsmacked
A MUM was left totally gobsmacked after discovering her hotel room came with an added bonus.
Mum Jax took to TikTok to share the epic discovery after she had checked in the Blackpool-based hotel, which is sure to be every footy fans dream.
According to Jax, who was staying at the Blackpool FC Stadium Hotel with her daughters, the surprise behind the curtains was so ”crazy”, none of them could at first believe it.
”We’ve just arrived at out hotel in Blackpool – and we’ve got a football match out of our window,” the shocked mum said, before pulling the curtains.
The now-viral clip, which has won more than 1.5million views in one day, then shows what the surprising view outside really was like – and even TikTok users were stunned.
Although many thought that Jax meant she could see the famous stadium – it was, in fact, an actual match taking place right in front of their eyes.
”I think it’s Blackpool [FC] and someone else playing. It’s crazy, isn’t it?”
Seemingly unaware that there were hotel guests behind them, the video showed hundreds of football fanatics tuning into the match behind the window.
Eagle-eyed sports lovers noted that this was a game against ”the mighty Stockport County”, which took place on Saturday.
Unfortunately for Blackpool FC fans, their team lost, with Stockport Country FC scoring three goals.
According to Jax, the windows weren’t tinted – so, if the fans were to turn around, they could see inside their hotel room.
”I don’t follow football but the girls were excited that’s when we entered the room and saw the game,” Jax later said in the comments.
Located on Seasiders Way, Blackpool FC Stadium Hotel is a member of Radisson Individuals and offers comfortable rooms with spectacular views of the famous Bloomfield Road Stadium – the perfect gift for any football super fan.
The hotel has a number of room types available depending on your budget, such as their Standard Room, Superior Room with Pitch View, and Two Bedroom Suite.
As well as being able to enjoy the thrilling match, guests also have access to spa, a scrumptious breakfast buffet to kickstart the day – and you can even bring pets with you.
