Fantastic Stay!

warm welcome super clean room fresh towels safe parking

I received a warm welcome from Adele and Tony. The room was super clean. It included everything I needed for my stay. I also had fresh towels. The breakfast included in the price set me up well for the day!!! I paid extra to keep my car safely locked up. It gave me real peace of mind. The staff catered to all my needs. They were super friendly! The location is close to town. I always stay here and definitely will again.

I noticed a slight cigarette smell in the hotel.

Wonderful Stay, Excellent Hosts

local club secure parking fresh towels amazing hosts

Tony and Adele were amazing. Tony gave me a tip about a local working men's club. It had free entry, bingo, and great entertainment. The room included fresh towels. I also secured my car in a lock-up, and that gave me real peace of mind.

The bedroom was quite small, making movement a little difficult.

Breakfast included a choice of orange juice, four cereal options, and freshly brewed coffee, brought directly to the table. The secure parking offered real reassurance for my vehicle, and access was easy. I found this convenient.

Location

The location is ideal, near bus routes to the town center. I also discovered a great pub, The Castle, very close by. The hotel is a short walk from Blackpool Tower and the piers.
