Does what it says …
Pros:

Stayed here for 1 night as going to a show in Blackpool & didn’t want to stay in town. Know the area as have friends live St Anne’s so knew proximity to Starr Gate for trams. Good option as free parking which wasn’t the car for other options. Immediate area a little run down & this isn’t one of newer modernised Inns but it was clean, functional & reception on check in & check out both lovely ladies. Very quiet so had a great sleep. Avoid the pub next door … only nipped in for drinks but it needed a good clean & staff who could be bothered!

Great hotel
Pros:

We had a lovely experience. We had paid for early check in and were warmly greeted. Plenty of car park spaces. Our room was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. The bed was amazing with plenty of extra bedding if we needed it. Good shower and good size bathroom. Not far from the bus stop and tram station so good access to Blackpool. Very quiet just what we needed

A great stay!
Pros:

All staff we met were polite and friendly. Check in was very quick and we got rooms opposite each other as requested (family of 4 adults). Rooms very clean, up to Premier Inn's usual very high standard. One room was on the airport side of the hotel, first floor (no lift) and we heard very little noise at all, only the occasional sound of the air ambulance helicopter being started up in the morning, which didn't worry us at all. View was of the airfield, no planes taking off at all, just the helicopter. Unfortunately we found on the first day that one of the panels beside the bed wasn't working (reading light, phone charger usb socket) so I reported it straight away, it wasn't fixed at all during our stay, despite reporting it every day that week. Being disabled, it would have helped to have a light beside the bed instead of having to use my phone light. Our second room was facing the front and was quiet, only a bit of traffic noise which didn't worry us. This Premier Inn is in a good location, with a Morrisons about 5 minutes drive away, where we had breakfast 3 out of the 4 mornings we were there. 4th morning we had breakfast at the Premier Inn, this was very good with plenty of choice.

Nice for a base.
Pros:

Typical premier inn. Decent enough room, and location a 10 minute walk to stargate for a tram. Bus stop out side. Best thing is plenty free parking at the hotel. Stayed three nights. Breakfast in the airbaloon pub next door.

Great hotel
Pros:

Where can I start .. we were greeted by a friendly member of staff at check in and given our room .. our room was very clean and comfortable the only downside was it had a over bath shower and not a walk in which I struggle with having restricted mobility and chronic pain .. other than that our stay was very good but the breakfast In the morning was not great.. food quality for these places has gone down and no proper hot drinks machine in the restaurant and when I asked got told u can help yourself to the one by the bar but no proper hot drinks machine by the breakfast bar area and the cooked breakfast was rubbish and portion sizes were poor too both me and my wife won't ever eat the premier inn cooked breakfast again

Poor experience in an accessibility room, poor breakfast
Pros:

Room 2 is an accessibility room. They have two. Bed was terrible - way too low and soft, plus two narrow. Our backs were sore after three nights stay. Car parking was great. Breakfast was poor - very limited. Staff were friendly and helpful. No issues with the staff and service, but management needs to fix this.

Perfect for an overnight stay
Pros:

We used this hotel the night before a flying lesson at the airport for convenience and value for money, but I'd definitely stay there as a base before heading into Blackpool. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, both in person and on the phone, the room and all facilities were clean and more than adequate for an overnight stay, and the location just outside Blackpool, next to a handy pub, at a very reasonable rate, is ideal. Can't fault a premier inn IMO!!

3 night stay
Pros:

I have just spent three days with my two children, on arrival everything was smooth, the room was one of the cleanest I've ever stayed in. Although it's an airport location, there's minimal noise with nothing at night and to be honest my kids found seeing the odd helicopter land exciting.
The down side is the breakfast in the Hot air balloon pub next door. With only instant coffee on offer and not the most welcoming breakfast host.
But I would still recommend this hotel, for us it's location was great, being only a few minutes drive from the pleasure beach and other attractions.
Supermarkets are on your doorstep with others like MC Donald's.

Not quick at providing refunds
Pros:

Book one night with breakfast, found out last minute that our coach for our holiday was picking us up at 5.45am so too early for breakfast. The lady on reception took all full payment and told us she would sort out the refund for the breakfast. I have been chasing my refund for breakfast since 9th Aug 25 and still not received it as if August 28th 25 not happy at all!

Outstanding
Pros:

Another brilliant stay at our favourite Premier inn.
Jesy and her team really are the best.. Had a chat on the phone with her a couple of days before we arrived because I`d messed up the booking details. Jesy sorted things out and there was even a little gift in our room as it was a special occasion.
Rooms are always spotless and fresh and exactly what we need.
Staff always take the time to chat and ask where youve been that day ...its just a nice atmosphere.
Great links to public transport and maybe a 15 min walk to the beech and tram station.
Three local pubs are within walking distance with The Air Balloon right next door.
There is a Lidl next door and a Morrisons and retail park about 10/min walk away.
Definitely our favourite Premier inn and we are back in a couple of weeks.

Weekend visit
Pros:

Weekend family visit so the young ones could go on rides and to the circus.
Hotel staff re very helpful and nothing is too much trouble.

We had adjacent rooms, which were clean and comfortable.

As with most premier inn visits everything you need for a short visit it there, even a fan on a stand.

We had rooms at the back of the hotel which were quiet and no noise from inside.

The hotel is ideally located for the tram and just far enough from the mayhem of Blackpool.

Plenty of car parking space.

Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely stay shame about the breakfast
Pros:

Great staff,very helpfull ,lovely clean room.brilliant with the children would stay again. Could not fault it. Only let down was the breakfast at the Air ballon .It was terrible .premium pork sausage had never seen pork, poor quality food, service was bad and you were rushed . Breakfast served 7 til 9, but if you were not staying at the hotel it was 11am. Place was not clean ,next we will go to Morrisons which is just down the road . It is a shame its not a beefeater as a lot better quality and service than hungary horse.

Good hotel, terrible pub.
Pros:

The hotel is as good as you would normally get at a Premier, clean, nice staff etc but the biggest let down was the so called pub next door, tried to get a drink at 10.10 pm and was told last orders were 10pm……it’s Blackpool !
Went in the pub for breakfast, what a sorry excuse for a dining experience, my wife wanted soft boiled eggs, they were so uncooked they were inedible and served in a sauce bowl not egg cup, the tables were filthy, the girl taking orders was more interested in her phone than customer service, I know this is not a premier inn pub but they should do quality checks surely.
So all in all hotel good but pub next door absolutely abysmal

Good stay, nice staff, good transport links, no WiFi
Pros:

Arrived 20 minutes early but had to wait until official check in time. Staff friendly enough, room clean. Pub next door. Bus and train service a short walk away. Quiet at night so slept well.
WiFi both free and Ultimate (which I paid extra for) did not work, didn’t have time to discuss with staff to reboot their server, so sent an email to address on booking confirmation, they just said contact Premier Inn directly….no time for that unfortunately, probably won’t pay for Ultimate WiFi going forward.
