Good place to stay

Overall a good experience, always stay in this hotel for an overnight stay in Blackpool. Had a good nights sleep, bed was very comfortable. The hotel is an old building and could maybe do with some TLC in some areas , stairs and corridors however the room was super clean. Didn't have food on this occasion but on our previous visit the food was lovely.
