I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location right next to South Pier and close to all the attractions. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and offered beautiful views of the beach. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making my experience even better. On the downside, I found some of the amenities a bit outdated, and although the dining options were nice, there could be a bit more variety.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located right on the Pleasure Beach and offers a quiet atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, although the lighting could use some improvement. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who were always willing to help. Overall, a great experience, though the location was a bit far from the football ground.

The hotel has a great location right across from South Pier and is just a short walk to the Pleasure Beach. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and have a fresh, modern look. I found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and helpful, which made for a welcoming stay. While I really enjoyed my time here, the dining experience was a bit uneven, and the distance to the football ground might be a downside for some guests.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which was in a prime location right across from the South Pier and very close to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The rooms were quite spacious and looked recently decorated, providing a very comfortable experience. I found the service to be exceptionally friendly, and the breakfast was definitely a highlight. However, I did find the kettle a bit awkward to use, which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, it's a great value for money considering the facilities and the welcoming atmosphere.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from the beach and convenient to local attractions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome. On the downside, I had to switch rooms due to some maintenance work, which was a bit of a hassle, but the family room I received was still clean and spacious.
