Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited value for money — The guest rating for value is notably lower than for other aspects, and the overall score sits below the Blackpool average.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient if you arrive later in the evening.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for travelling with an animal.
- Rooms and service could be improved — Ratings for rooms and service are moderate, suggesting some guests found these aspects less impressive than the location and atmosphere.
