6.7Verified guest“Our mini break was enjoyable mainly because of the great location—just a short walk to places like the Blackpool Tower and Coral Island. Staff were friendly and the room was big enough. The bathroom really needs an update, and the Wi-Fi wasn't reliable, which was annoying. Overall a decent stay, but improvements are needed.”
6.7Verified guest“We had a genuinely good time. The family room was nicely decorated and a good size, and we were given a room with a view as an upgrade, which was a nice touch. The food was excellent, with a huge range of meals to choose from.”
6.7Verified guest“I really enjoyed my stay in the single room.”
6.7Verified guest“The location was handy, close to many attractions. Staff gave us a warm welcome and the place was clean. It was convenient to pop back and drop off shopping before heading out again.”
6.7Verified guest“Even though my room wasn't properly cleaned—there were clothes left in the wardrobe and the bed wasn't changed—the general state of the space was acceptable. The view from my window wasn't great, but I tried to focus on the good parts of the trip.”
