Another wonderful night of entertainment. The Ruskin is our go to hotel in Blackpool. Great lication.The staff are helpful,food delicious and good value. The hotel is spotless!
We went for an impromptu night on Thursday staying in a Premier King and were delighted with the Entertainment programme. The Shush show was amazing. So much talent on the stage and so well put together. Made our night! The entertainment is always great here Shaun is a brilliant entertainer!
Will be back soon. Thank you Ruskin

Relaxing enjoyable short break.

My daughter was in a wheel chair and our allocated room was awkward to get to. When I went to reception they offered me a lovely large ground floor room which was perfect.

Weekend break
Pros:

Excellent stay, fabulous location. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable and clean room with excellent shower. Room a little on the small side but well appointed. Excellent food although there was a hiccup in the seating in the restaurant.advised we would have same table for duration, this was muddled up twice but quickly rectified and certainly didn't spoil visit. Only a few mins walk to Tower and prom. Accessibility was good for someone with some mobility issues. Lift to all floors and space to leave a wheelchair. Will definitely return.

Fab Hotel
Pros:

Fabulous stay at the Ruskin Hotel we stayed in room 31 a premier plus room worth paying the extra , the room is huge and overlooks the Main Street, very clean and comfortable.
We had bed and breakfast can’t fault the food very good selection.
The weather this weekend has been extremely hot and humid but the hotel provides an air con unit and you can get free ice at the bar to cool the air .
We also appreciated the hotel the putting a function room on with 3 screens to watch the England match.

Had about two hours sleep and on top of that the breakfast was quite poor in quality
Pros:

The front and reception were nice.

Cons:

The bedroom smelt funny and was soo hot they have machines that you put ice in and they blow hot air out around the room and a desk fan that did the same thing but they were useless.
