The location and staff
John the host was really nice beds really comfy
Reviews aren’t a true reflection of the property. To be clear - yes John and his wife have a dog and yes all Blackpool properties are old. They are the only things I can agree upon. For price, for customer service, location and for cleanliness John and his wife’s small hotel gives you everything you need. Me and my 2 kids had the quadruple room on top floor (there’s no lift for those who struggle to walk). John was friendly and knowledgeable and the check in was done with ease. John showed us to our room and made us aware to keep windows closed when not in due to pigeons and seagulls perching themselves on the roof nearby. The room was clean and tidy. The beds spotless and comfy. The tea and coffee top notch. We had a lovely nights sleep which was surprising with the Manchester pub being only 2 doors down. The small shower and toilet were also very clean. This is on the sea front so from a location point of view, it’s dead central. Please do not be put off by the silly reviews. They are clearly from people who don’t understand top notch British hospitality.
John was an exceptional host. He really went above and beyond. Can't recommend this hotel enough. Value for money, clean and comfortable and great location!
