    Although the waiting on staff are attentive I felt like I was being watched like a hawk, literally hadn’t swallowed my last bite of breakfast before the plate was whisked away 😂

    The only thing I didn't really like was the fact we had to go home!

    The room was Ideal for me and my son, the staff were friendly and were absolutely pristine at all times. The location was perfect for us close to the pleasure beach and the sandcastle water park. Breakfast was spot on too, all fresh and laid out buffet style. Great selection from full English to pastries yoghurt and fruits...if you went a bit heavy the night before, then drink coffee till half ten...it really was great! Thanks to all the staff who made us feel welcome from the get-go to the very end! 10/10. We will definitely be back

    Waiting staff were too eager to clean our table, we got coffee and orange juice, I had only had 2 sips off coffee and we went up to get our food and when we came back to our table, our coffee and our orange juice were away, and the table cleaned off for the next guest and we hadn't even started ours yet and this happened twice or two different occasions

    Very clean, was upgraded which was very nice to a family room, it was really nice 😊

    Only one lounge chair in a double room. Felt rushed during breakfast by staff hovering to clear up tables. Was told before our stay that we would get advance price for park tickets but had to pay full price.

    Friendly and happy staff. Very welcoming environment. Comfortable and spacious room. Will definitely stay again.

    It had everything we needed for our family break. The waterpark was a 10 min walk and the VIP entrance to pleasure beach was fantastic! We pre booked our tickets online and our tickets were printed and waiting for us the next morning. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They were so professional and welcoming. The tram service was fantastic, we saw the whole of blackpool!

    I was a little bit disappointed with the fact that you are charged 18 pounds to park your car at it belongs to the hotel , when really residences should not have to pay. With most hotels in Blackpool that we have stayed previous this was complimentary. Given the hotel charge average rates which are quite a bit more expensive to some hotels it’s not very good.

    It was very close to everything. It was clean and the staff where very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was very nice and the girl that looked after us in the morning breakfast room was fantastic and a credit to the hotel.
