Great stay . I arrived early ( 10.Am) and I was allowed up to my room straight away. Breakfast was great. 👍
Pros:

Ideally situated for my weekend at the Blackpool International Soul Festival at the Winter Gardens.

Cons:

Couldn’t use the lounge as there was a party there for a dance competition at Blackpool Tower who took over the normally relaxing lounge facility.

Ideal for a stay in Blackpool
Pros:

Compared with other hotels in Blackpool, the Melville is one of the better ones. Comfortable enough, rooms are clean, great location, everything in the room works and is as described.

Cons:

If this was a hotel anywhere else, I’d not be happy. Rooms very small, all a bit outdated, very narrow corridors and loads of stairs, walls very thin, uncomfortable mattresses, no room to move in bathroom, no fan in bedroom - and it did get too hot for us.
