The hotel is conveniently located next to the tram stop and close to the grand theatre in the center of Blackpool. The rooms offer a comfortable stay with a separate section for kids but had a minor issue with one staff member not being as friendly. The dining experience had some limitations, but the restaurant staff were engaging. Overall, a good value for money stay with engaging staff.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and well-equipped, though I opted for a deluxe upgrade for an extra £20. The cleaning team, especially the ladies on the 3rd floor between 25-27th of June, truly deserve recognition for their hard work. The location was convenient, with a lounge area and proximity to the grand theatre, but a downside was being charged for parking. Unfortunately, some dining options were limited, but the golden malted waffles were a delight.
