Very disappointing Best Western.

We have stayed here before in a standard double room, so thought we'd upgrade to a superior deluxe double. But in fairness the only difference we could see was some bathrobes in the wardrobe! Previously we'd had a view over the sea front and a good sized room with a very adequate ensuite on the first floor. The room we had this time was about the same size with a bigger bathroom, but only because we were on the ground floor in a disabled room. We had no view as the window looked out onto main road where people were walking and driving passed and also over looked by other hotels, so had to keep both windows and curtains shut to stop prying eyes and noise!!! Although the room seemed clean initially, when we turned on the bedside lights and they shone up the wall we could see large amounts of dust!! Also because we were in a superior room our bed was two single pushed together to form a superking, however the duvet seemed to be a double in a king-size cover. We were also located next to the toilets for the bar and restaurant. Overall for the extra money very disappointed this stay. Would probably look elsewhere next time.

It is expensive what they charge for a tiny single room with a poor shower that has seen better days with not a lot of pressure coming from it. Best thing about staying here is it is right opposite the tram stop! I wouldn’t stay here again though!

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our food and staff were excellent. We parked in the hotel parking as we felt it was safer. Our room had one fault the windows would not close and traffic noise gave us a disturbed night sleep. Next time we will request a sea front room.

Comfortable and quiet

We had a great stay at this hotel. Clean, comfortable and quiet. It's about 14 minutes walk from the tower.The staff are fabulous, helpful and friendly. Lovely comfortable bed and great tea and coffee making facilities in the room. We had a tasty hunter's chicken for dinner in the restaurant and an excellent cooked breakfast. We managed to get on the car park but if you can't there is another little car park a minute down the street. We are already planning to stay again in the summer. It was a great find.

Superior double with sea view

Arrived early. Had a drink in the bar until 1.30pm when we were able to checkin. “Superior” room was below our expectations compared to other “superior” accommodation providers we have used. Hotel was clean; Bed was comfortable; Breakfast was filling. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Expected more from a named Brand.

Good location for walks on prom, trams and access to Blackpool centre. On the sea front with resteraunt facing the promenade, with sea views. As long as you're not expecting the Ritz, you should be satisfied with the £50/night paid. We stayed one night, not sure I'd want to stay for longer due to noise of families in adjacent rooms. Bedroom was ensuit but a bit cramped & tired.

Sorry have to address my true view thoughts

Was very disappointed with the Xmas dinner as I had beef which was like leather…1 chipolata on friends dinner,he said turkey was just ok ..for £50 was not worth it..Buffet Xmas night was soso pathetic and heard plenty agreed with us£15 was a disgrace…Its such a lovely friendly staff and lovely hotel but don’t think we’ll be back My 76yr friend has diabetis along with other med probs and we purposely came as wanted to bring my 2dogs and a disabled room which was perfect but the cost and bad experience of food and lacks in hygiene in the restaurant with no table covers and some staff not in uniform …
