Check in was quick with a friendly welcome. Entrance was clean and bright. Room was on the ground floor, small but clean and fresh, nice touch from the hotel was the bottled water and chocolates left for us. Bathroom had shower gel & shampoo, soap and clean towels.

Good hotel.

The hotel is very nice. Its clean and well located. Only issues we had was the bed was very hard, the tv in the room was in a bad place it wouldnt normally bother us but the weather was very bad so ended up staying in the room more than we wanted and non of us could see the telly from the beds especially my child.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Didn’t use the car park, don’t know how much was chargeable, great central location, room very clean, bathroom a bit small but that’s the only complaint. Tea, coffee downstairs, help yourself, make your own as no kettle in the room but it does state ask if you need a kettle, we was ok with nipping downstairs for a coffee then bringing it back up. Owners very polite, would return.

Pros-Great stay, good location, friendly staff, comfy bed, clean sheets/towels, complimentary toiletries were handy especially since I forgot my wash bag, free water and chocolate was appreciated, can park at the front for £10 a day. Cons- door and window lock was broken so couldn’t open window, mould in bathroom. Overall, cheap and cheerful, would stay again.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Small room but adequate, clean, although shower had some black mould that could do with sorting. No TV in room, but good Wi Fi signal. No breakfast, but provided free tea coffee and milk, paper cups and sugar in lounge area. Lounge area not really utilised, did have a TV, but no one used it, Only saw staff once, but I believe live on premises, did provide a phone number to ring if needed anything. Seemed helpful. but never saw them only the once. Never saw any housekeeping. Quite area. Cheap, straightforward, basic accommodation better than quite a lot in Blackpool. Parking £10 a day extra if needed but also next door to a pay as your park, car park 24 hour.

Verified review

6/10 Good

The room itself was cosy and good for the price. The bathroom was pretty grotty but nothing that couldn't have been sorted with some bleach, limescale remover and a good scrub. When I booked, it said online that you could reserve a car parking space but when I rang they said it wasn't possible, it was first come first served. So I ended up parking in the car park next door which was quite a bit more expensive. The welcome was friendly and I felt safe.

2nd night in accommodation all OK, not a lot of extras, fairly basic, but clean, small rooms, and pleasant staff when you saw them. No TV's in room OK for me, but may not suit everyone. Quiet position, provided basic tea, coffee, sugar & milk in lounge only, but we were prepared and took our own electric kettle. Convenience store nearby, easy flat walk to Winter Gardens and restaurants. Not much further to beach. Mainly 4 stars as cheap and very handy, with parking.
