Very welcoming, good service and excellent breakfast. My single room had all facilities and a super hot shower. Located just off the sea front and is so close to both North and South pier further along. A car park immediately across the road. Great location for the Tower and Winter Gardens. Highly recommend excellent value and would use again

Nice little hotel, short walk from Blackpool north pier. Location is ideal, the hotel is clean and well furnished. The room was a little small but perfect for a single travel stayingnone night and the price was great. Free breakfast was a nice touch, cooked to order and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely book again.
