"Had a great time as a family with two young children. The reception, lounges and bar areas were fairly modern and bright. The kids loved the entertainer that was on 8-10pm. Breakfast was nice. The pool area and rooms were dated, our room over looked the pier, which was lovely, The hallway and rooms could just do with decorating and brightening up but wouldn’t stop us from staying there if going away for a night in Blackpool again."

"Old fashioned hotel which retains its charm. Check in was done online and no issues. The receptionist was lovely and helpful. Breakfast is good, only downside was a queue for breakfast on our second morning there. 15 minute walk to Blackpool Tower. Does have entertainment, but we only use it as a base.Stayed here about 5 times and would recommend."
