    Our stay at Smith Stayz Apartments was perfect from start to finish! Self check in was smooth and effortless. We stayed in flat 3 which was very spacious and decorated / furnished to a very high standard. 1 parking spot also available free of charge per flat. We could see the Blackpool tower from our window which was an added bonus. The accommodation is less than 5 minutes walk away from the prom / tourist attractions. The hosts were fantastic and very generous letting us check out later than 11am.

    Great location, and only a short walk to tram stops and town centre. Nice modern apartment with all mod cons and well maintained. Kids loved the big TV and the electronic door locks. Great restaurants nearby. Although it doesn't have its own private parking there are plenty of reasonably priced carparks nearby, including secure multi-storeys, and short stay outside the apartment to drop off luggage. We will definitely use it again on future trips.
