Pros:

Great value hotel, the room itself was clean and comfortable, it was hot at night but you can rent a fan if needed. We enjoyed sitting in the dinning area where the children could play the arcade games and we enjoyed some delicious food there as well. We will definitely be back.

One night at the Kings Cross Hotel.
Pros:

The hotel is great value for money and there's lots to like. The guy on reception was awesome and the whole place is very well organised. The room was clean and nice, and although small, it works fine and is great value for money, being very close to the centre of town. The car parking has to be paid, £13.50 a night which seems a lot but it is gated and secure, which seems very sensible in that part of town.

Cons:

The place was very noisy with people shouting and swearing and all of it coming through the very thin walls. There are clear rules about this for everyone, but it went on till about 11pm and was a bit off-putting. The plumbing also made a lot of noise periodically but mostly things were quiet through the night.

A fantastic place to stay
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at The Kings Cross, Connor was a fantastic host and immediately made us feel so welcome. The hotel has so much to offer from a well stocked bar to a mini arcade and even a 50s style diner.

The room was extremely comfortable, well kept and nicely decorated, it also kept relatively cool which was lovely considering we stayed during the heatwave.

We also ate from the onsite 'Tower Burger' restaurant and it was genuinely amazing, up there with the best burgers I've ever had. Proper handmade patties and an extremely wide variety of options to choose from.

I genuinely cannot fault this place, the location is fantastic as it's only a short walk away from the town centre but set back enough that you can still easily get a quiet night's sleep. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Blackpool.

Thanks again to Connor for having us, I'm sure we will be back!
