Lovely staff, not the worst in Blackpool to stay but things to improve on maybe.
Pros:

The hostess is very friendly, although she seems the only member of staff as such. The sheets were clean in the room. The location is excellent for what you'll want to do in Blackpool.

Cons:

The bunk bed in the family room squeaks with every move your child makes that keeps everybody up. The TV is in a peculiar position and is difficult to see and is small. The sink in the bathroom is tiny and doesn't drain well. The cups had some tiny flies in them. The breakfasts weren't great value to be honest on reflection we could have got better value and more quality by eating out - it was ok though. The hotel is a little bit tired, but nowhere near the worst in Blackpool, and the lounge covered in Bolton Wanderers stuff might be nice for them but maybe not so for your guests sadly. No card facilities at all and no cash machines about. The car park opposite is very pricey! £15 per 24 hours. The rooms are quite small and the bathroom is in what used to be a cupboard it seems.

Perfect stay. Would recommend.
Pros:

Awesome stay at the Franklyn Hotel. Friendly hosts. Clean rooms. Secure and cosy. Great location, close enough to the centre to stroll in but far enough to be quiet. Lovely place.
