    Got immaculate, fashionable room for kids to play with xxxx. The location was very central, near Blackpool, tower, and the main shops. We ordered lunch at Dg's Fish Inn, located close to the venue.

    spotty connection

    We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights during a dance competition, and it was by far the best stay we've experienced in blackpool. The friendly owners, and the comfortable double room was perfect after a long day. The breakfast was delicious, and we loved how close we were to the ballroom.

    wi-fi was a bit spotty sometimes

    value for money
    location

    It was a strong match for a holiday in Blackpool with value for money. The room was too small, and some guests left after finding bed bugs. Avoid if looking for a comfortable stay.

    I took my son on his first trip here, and it was a great experience for both of us. The owners were cute. We enjoyed the breakfasts and appreciated the clean rooms. The location made it easy to access nearby attractions. I'm from New Zealand, so this stay was a nice change.

    street noise
    bathroom door

    We stayed at friends hotel for 3 nights n it was super comfy. The owners, scott n helen, are so friendly n cute, it reminded me of home. Breakfast was amazin, really set us up for the day. Rooms were decorated lovely n had hot showers, hurrah! Location was perfect, just a quick walk to the ballroom for our dance comp.

    The only downside was the noise from the street during the day, but it got quiet at night. A sliding door on the bathroom would have been nicer.

    The hotel had a warm and inviting atmosphere, decorated with charming coastal themes. The staff were always readily available to assist.

    More seating in common areas would be helpful.
