We had Room 16 this time. A Family Room with a modern shower room. Very cosy and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice but as I'm Vegetarian, hot option is a bit limited would have liked Mushrooms, but kmow they are not everyones favourite. Stayed for 2 nights but was a bit disappointed, with the room make up we got fresh towels, but bed wasnt made and tea/ coffee not replenished. There was a tear on the side of the duvet vover but overall a grwat stay. Preferred the singer xalled Red on the Saturday night, and enjoy the Bingo Flyer. We will stay again for the Pigeon Weekend.

Really nice stay apart from twin bedroom was far to small, really found it hard to breath. and out of breath walking up and down stairs three lifts and only 1 working people said they have been waiting for parts for over a week and the 1 that was working didn’t go to our room we were on the other side. If we were told the lift was broken we would have cancelled. So very disappointed The Steff were all unbelievable couldn’t do enough for you.

The room, food and the staff were great. We found the dining area difficult to move around as the tables were too close together. Again we would like to mention that the entrance to the hotel is very difficult for older people with luggage as it has steep steps and the strong springs on the doors make them extremely hard to open.

The Craig-Y-Don Hotel is a Blackpool seafront hotel and it's very good at what it aims to be. My room was spotlessly clean and the linen and towels were fresh. Everything worked as it should have. All of the staff were really polite and friendly, they were also very efficient and good at their jobs. The breakfast was good with plenty of options from which to choose. The location is convenient for the attractions that Blackpool offers and I have no worries about recommending it; I would certainly stay there again.

Staff were first class, from bar staff, breakfast and reception. Nothing was ever too much. Staying in a group and some rooms dated but still completely fine, could see they are in the process of upgrading and one of the group was in said room and was lovely. Beautiful bar area too and lovely to be right on the water, near local attractions and right across from the tram stop. Parking just along the road too for £45 for 3 days which isn’t too bad. Absolutely top class service and would recommend to anyone. Thanks again!

Booked last minute as a getaway and loved the hotel. Friendly staff good breakfast and superb entertainment in the evening. It was a themed weekend with Tom Jones and Robbie Williams tributes and they were both excellent. Our room was spacious and comfy we were in one of the rooms that used to the The Balmoral hotel that Craig y Don have took over and knocked through. Bar prices were cheaper than bars just done the road as well.
