Lovely little hotel very pleasantly surprised for the price we paid. Buffet breakfast plenty of everything you would want. Even a pool extra charge but well worth it. Very enjoyable stay.
Food was lovely, such good value for money. Staff were friendly and worked really hard to make your stay enjoyable.
Decor was dated, and the lift was not working, but it gave us chance to get our extra steps in.
It is a tired building but it is in a fantastic location, with sea views and beds were comfy and clean. What more can you ask from these very old buildings in Blackpool? There was great evening entertainment to enjoy whilst the children played safely in the games room. Would definitely stay again.
Staff was great , room was fine , breakfast was great and swimming pool was fun for my grandson definitely will return 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Although there were a few technical problems due to a problem with the electricity, all the staff were helpful & accommodating and were able to deal with all the difficulties that arose with cheerfulness & humour during our three night stay and we would certainly re visit this hotel again.
It was well situated for the tram and beach, so easy to get into town. Plus easy to reach from the train station when we arrived.
We particularly enjoyed the indoor pool, which was welcoming in a pleasant environment.
The bar and restaurant were clean and well-organised
and the reception was always well-manned with friendly staff, always ready to answer questions to make our short stay more enjoyable.
A really good, holiday break.

We booked a family room to stay for one night it was clean but needs a fresh coat of paint and also needs extra plug sockets so you've got somewhere to charge a device and plug a hair dryer in the beds for comfortable had a good night sleep

The only downfall was there was absolutely nowhere in the room to put clothes, there were drawers but they were glued shut, no hooks or hangers, and there was no hairdryer when we were told there should be.
But great hotel, great location and great staff. My friend is coming back next week!
I stayed for 2 nights midnight week September and found the staff very pleasant,room was very clean. I didn't have food or go the pool which are both an extra cost. My only criticism would be you have to pay to park outside the hotel which is off road on their property. £6-50 24hrs
It was an amazing. Love seeing the seafront and listening the seagull. The room was lovely and glad to have a fan in here as we was little bit warm. But I definitely enjoyed it and recommend this hotel to anyone!
