Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic rooms, limited space — The only listed room type is a Small Double, which may feel cramped for two, especially with luggage.
- Check-in window is narrow — Arrivals are only accepted between 15:00 and 20:00, which could be inconvenient for late travellers.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the hotel has a strict no-pets policy.
- Overall rating reflects mixed experiences — With a 6.3 rating and a rank of 713 out of 825 in Blackpool, the hotel sits below the area average of 8.2, so expectations should be managed.
