Fabulous value, amazing hosts and welcoming stay. Thank you so much!
Pros:

Amazing hosts that went above and beyond. Nothing was too much!

Cons:

We only had one pillow per person in the room and I’m sure the hosts would’ve given us more if we would’ve asked but we didn’t have time to cos we had a busy weekend.

Good value for money . Perfect location.
Pros:

The hotel is in a good location, with shops and restaurants only a short walk away. Also Tram stop near by.
The Hosts were attentive and efficient.
Room itself was well equipped, slept well.
The dining area was stylish and roomy.
Breakfast was excellent !
All in all great value for money.
Definitely will be our go to , when we visit Bispham in the future.

Cons:

The carpets looked a bit tired . Probably would prefer vinyl flooring in a budget room. Easier to keep clean with a rug thrown in for coziness 😊

A great place to stay with a excellent breakfast!
Pros:

The room had a beautiful view and was immaculately clean. It was slightly small, but the space was well used so it felt cosy rather than cramped. The hosts were excellent, very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was incredible!

I haven’t been to Blackpool for a long time. I think the 242 is typical of Blackpool hotels. Room was ok for a short sta
Pros:

Hosts were so friendly and lovely. Always had time for a chat. Breakfast was lovely. Quite a distance from the Tower etc although the tram stops right outside.

Cons:

Room was a bit dated. No towel rails to hang wet towels on. Furniture was quite old, could do with updating. It was ok for a weekend but I would struggle staying there for a week.
