Pros:

The service the staff were all brillaint and friendly, as I do my reviews on Google.

I would say from reception Day staff cashless to Night staff Andrew, they were very welcoming and friendly along with the other staff members.

The location was ideal it was on the North Pier side.

The hotel room was ideal worth it's while and value for money.

No issue with parking around the area, as the local streets are not permitted residence at all, which was a absolute bonus.

Beakfast menu was very good, as they catered for Vegans and Muslims.

Cons:

Not much to dislike

Pros:

Location was great that’s about it

Cons:

Our stay was disappointing overall. The rooms were dusty, which triggered my son’s asthma, and there was no hot water until I asked twice before the issue was resolved. The carpets were dirty, the floors creaked, and the hotel is in need of modernisation.

Parking was also an issue, with limited availability and an additional charge.

On the positive side, the location was good for us. It’s on the North Promenade with a tram stop right outside, making it easy to reach Blackpool Tower and the Central Promenade in around 10–15 minutes. We also had a nice view from our room.

Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again. For the price we paid, I believe there are much better and more reputable hotels available in Blackpool.
