Pros:

Great location. Clean comfy room.

Cons:

We paid for breakfast when booking. Didn't state it was only a cold breakfast and they did Not cater for people with allergies. A staff member stated " it wasn't worth them buying a gluten free loaf as most would be wasted. " The choice at breakfast was cereal or toast....neither gluten free. No alternative was offered.

Stay away - Blackpool illuminations!!!
Pros:

Surprisingly quiet despite the location, however unable to sleep a wink due to the strobe light of a fire/safety/blackpool illumination.

The most ridiculous light I have ever experienced at a hotel.
Would definitely not stay or recommend.
Picture taken at 2am with this light unable to be disconnected - fun night!
