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.

Been to Blackpool frequently so know what to expect from cheaper hotels. Booked this hotel for £75 for 3 people for 2 nights so knew it was never going to be spectacular. Room itself was basic and a lot of fixtures and fittings were broken and didn’t work but room was clean and comfortable the hotel itself is very tired and worn but in general is clean and staff are great. For us when in Blackpool we tend to be busy and o my use the hotel for somewhere to sleep and therefore are in the hotel a very limited time. In my opinion, people booking this hotel should be aware this isn’t the hotel for you if you’re looking to spend a great deal of time in the hotel. However if you’re just needing a cheap comfy room for the night it does the job. We would definitely book again, the pool was a huge bonus

we stayed for two nights our room was a perfect size for 3. the room was fresh and tidy could do with another side cabinet or shelves over-all good. bathroom wasn't the best but it didnt spoil our stay. its not mention before booking but there is a small charge to use the pool. honestly tho if its not busy use it.. the pool water was clean clear and to my surprise it was warm. staff are helpful and friendly. wifi was ok not the best we didnt eat but breakfast smelt good. its walking distance to the tower also outside the hotel is a tram and bus stop both are regular.

After a 3 room change we were finally given a half decent 4th room, which was sort of nice until night time came and the hotel staff decided at 11pm at night to clean the pool and spa making so much noise, upon complaining was told not much we can do about it and to put up with it! G/M promised me a phone call from management but that never happened!

Stayed in room 115 and was described as cosy which it was and comfortable and clean. Second night was noisy from the TV and loud talking from the room below. Breakfast was excellent and included and a good price for two night stay. Car parking at the front of hotel in good location. Would stay again.

Overall a lovely setting however a few issues were in our room. There was no cold water in the sink and the blind in the bedroom was broke in parts. However the bed was comfy and the refreshments were good. An overall lovely stay at the setting . We will be more than happy to stay again when we return to Blackpool

Nice hotel, perfect for what we needed. Comfortable beds, decent breakfasts and amenities in the room. Pool was fantastic. Shame the games room was out of order but looked like it would have been fun for the little one. Tram stop right across the road for access into the centre and a decent car park that is cheap if paid through the hotel itself. We had a lovely stay as a family of 4.
