My Favourite Blackpool Hotel
Pros:

The food & entertainment were exceptional, the location for me was also excellent, not too far to have a walk along South Pier.generally all good.

Cons:

The rooms although refurbished not too long ago, are starting to look a bit scruffy,& too many little sets of stairs but obviously this is a very old building & nothing can be done about that.Shower door hit wash basin when opened so although I am no skinny Minnie anyone bigger than me wouldn't be able to use the shower.(Room336) But still my favourite Blackpool Hotel,&l have stayed in several.😊
