“What I found notable about this property is the location - right in the middle of the action; and how the hosts seem genuinely invested in ensuring a good stay. It appears some parts of the building require renovations, which are supposedly underway; however, based on what I've read, the rooms are comfortable. It's a down-to-earth choice for a Blackpool visit.”

Excellent Stay with Superb Hosts!

I received so much tea and coffee from the staff. They supplied a whole bag full, unlike other hotels. The location was really great. The room itself was comfortable.
The hotel could use some modernizing. The building seemed a little run down.

The staff provided sufficient tea coffee sugar and milk. That was acceptable.
The bathroom was quite dirty it also had a distinct odor. The room was also dirty and stinky a quite unpleasant combination. The price was totally unworthy of the offering and very expensive.
