    The parking can be a bit tricky as there’s only four space with a potential of being blocked in. The decor is a bit dated but I’m aware they are doing renovations over the holiday period.

    The owner is lovely and attentive. The property was in a good decent location. Served great breakfast and snacks.

    I had no complaints or issues with my stay. Parking can be a little tricky. But typically you will find somewhere to park in the side streets nearby.

    You can see that the new owners have put a lot of love and effort into the hotel over the last year. It's always nice to be remembered. A comfortable stay and an amazing breakfast.

    Owner was very nice - chatted to us and made us feel welcome - Breakfast was included, cereal, fruit and also a full english which was nice. The hotel has limited parking however there is free parking on streets nearby within a 5 minute walk. Tram stop near to the hotel, with regular trams right into the middle of town A lovely stay in a comfy, nicely decorated room at a reasonable price

    Rooms were dated but it's only been under new ownership since Sept 2022 so it's gradually being refurbished.

    Friendly atmosphere, clean and comfortable.

    Nothing.

    Excellent all round. Owners were very welcoming on arrival and room was ready early. Room was very spacious and spotless. Breakfast was high quality and ample for a start to the day. Location on sea front with easy access to trams was also great. Would stay here again if we visit Blackpool in the future. Thanks for a lovely stay.

    There’s nothing I didn’t like but a few suggestions I’d add would be: 1) Bathroom blind would be nice as showering in dark makes you a bit self conscious with only frosted glass. Didn’t phase me but I can see how it might. 2) Maybe have a bin in bathroom, lazy guests may flush stuff they shouldn’t. 3) Extra pillows for when sitting up in bed etc 4) Bathroom lock. I can see the reasoning for not having one as usually it’s families occupying the room but there could be an embarrassing situation arise here and there when it’s friends sharing like us. The above are merely suggestions and none necessary, just minor changes that could add to an already great room in a great hotel.

    Conveniently located across from tram stop. We were here for illumination visit and was ideal for walking the big illuminations as they’re basically straight across the road from here. Free parking on site. Hostess was exceptional and very accommodating, gave us plenty info on what was where in the hotel and was always on hand if we needed anything, offered use of a heater, iron etc, I can see nothing would be a bother to her, really felt at home here and will most certainly return. Check in and out was seamless. Booked the family room although we ended up not needing it, but was good to have the extra space. Room was immaculately clean as was the bedding, tastefully decorated, plenty hot water all day, loads of tea coffee milk etc, bed was a bit firm for my preference but still slept well regardless, was a nice quiet room at the rear of the building which was a welcome added bonus. Bathroom was also immaculate with no mould and place was squeaky clean and plenty toilet roll provided. Breakfast was lovely and I liked the entire set up, you’re allocated a table and told to help yourself to cereal/fruit/juice/yoghurt etc then coffee and cooked breakfast ordered and brought to your table. Nice change from usual hotel buffet style where you’re clambering over guests and caught in traffic jam at coffee machine 🙄, this worked really well for me and the hostess had it all in hand. 5 stars from me
