Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a perfect spot, right across the road from the main attractions and shops, making it convenient and ideal for a good night's sleep. The rooms were nice, clean, and perfect for a cozy rest, with tidy ensuite bathrooms. The service, including housekeeping and a warm welcome drink, was exceptional. The dining experience was mostly excellent, especially with endless pots of tea and superb dishes, although there was a slight disappointment with the cooked items. The location is superb, close to everything but still offering a peaceful night's rest. The overall value for money is fantastic, with great facilities to enjoy and an ideal location for exploring Blackpool.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and cosy, offering great value for money. The on-suite bathroom was clean and tidy, although the small shower room may be a bit tight for some. I stayed in a 4-berth room with 1 double bed and 2 single beds, perfect for a family. Surprisingly, I preferred the shared bathroom over having an en-suite.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The owners were incredibly helpful, the rooms were spotless and cozy, and the shared bathroom was fine for us. The location was great, close to all the main attractions but still offering a good night's sleep. The dining experience was excellent, and I would definitely visit again.
