Ideally located on Blackpool's premier New South Promenade, this hotel is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the famous Golden Mile, yet close to all the main attractions. Blackpool Airport is only five minutes away. Having reopened in 2004 following a complete renovation, all 92 bedrooms are en-suite with TV, telephone, hair dryer and hostess tray. They are large and tastefully decorated, with 6 fully functional disabled bedrooms. The restaurant (located on the ground floor) serves a variety of menus. An extensive bar food menu is also available and served throughout the day. This is a large building, comprising 3 smaller hotels now conjoined into one. The medium-sized lobby is painted in fresh pastel colours, generating a sense of calm. This hotel has undergone a complete reconstruction of the highest modern standards and is now graded by the AA, making it Blackpool's highest rated 3-star hotel.

With a location that this is handy for all the seasonal shows, entertainment and amusements, it certainly offers good value for money. THE HOTEL DOES NOT ACCEPT STAG OR HEN PARTIES. (GW 04/2008)
