Breakfast is served on site, and there are vending machines for late-night snacks. The hotel operates a no-smoking and no-pets policy throughout.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Low overall guest rating — With a rating of 5.1 out of 10 from over 1,000 reviews, the hotel sits well below the Blackpool average of 8.2. Many guests have been disappointed.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • No on-site parking or pets — There is no parking available at the hotel, and pets are not allowed. Guests travelling by car will need to find public parking nearby.
  • Variable room quality — While many praise the rooms, some guests have had issues that required staff intervention, and the Rooms rating (5.4) is noticeably lower than the Staff rating.
