I've stayed in probably 10 hotels in balckpool, and this is the one for me now!
Pros:

The staff are the nicest I have encountered at a blackpool hotel.
A lovely bar and restaurant, great breakfast, cosy rooms, plenty of convenient parking, and you can't beat that back door entry to the pleasure beach!

Cons:

The matresses could use an update. A gym would be nice. A few more restaurants in the immediate area of the hotel would have been handy. But the plus points of this hotel outweigh all this!

it was ok. Must to be aware of the floor you are staying on because of room noise from above.
Pros:

Breakfast was pleasent and available.
Restraunt staff friendly and helpfull.
Reception lady not welcoming or helful upon arrival. Did not look at me just barked a process to check in.
She was more engaging when we departed, but thats not good enough.
we stayed on the 2nd floor and we constantly had children running up and down above our heads and outside our room, we did not get much sleep. I took my 14 yr old grandaughter for a couple of days break and to see some shows, unfortunately the children in the hotel where so noisy it spoilt our stay.

Cons:

as ststed above

Pros:

Nice modern hotel.Friendly staff and great location.

Cons:

Think £20 to park is a little steep considering how much you pay to stay.
