Superior double with sea view
Arrived early. Had a drink in the bar until 1.30pm when we were able to checkin. “Superior” room was below our expectations compared to other “superior” accommodation providers we have used. Hotel was clean; Bed was comfortable; Breakfast was filling. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Expected more from a named Brand.
Good location for walks on prom, trams and access to Blackpool centre. On the sea front with resteraunt facing the promenade, with sea views. As long as you're not expecting the Ritz, you should be satisfied with the £50/night paid. We stayed one night, not sure I'd want to stay for longer due to noise of families in adjacent rooms. Bedroom was ensuit but a bit cramped & tired.

It was a building site on our floor got woken up to workers and construction noise. There was mold in the room it didn't seem clean. We were meant to stay for 4 nights but left early. Our bed was meant to be changed 2 nights in but it wasn't. The staff are lovely and helpful I don't blame them. Hotel is just a bit run down. Random seagal also got into the building at one point.
