6/10
The staff were friendly and the place was clean, but we wouldn't recommend it if you want a decent night's sleep. We stayed on 27/09/25, and the room fell well short of acceptable. We'd booked a double, but got two separate single beds pushed together that split apart whenever you turned over. The mattress was very uncomfortable, with every spring noticeable, and the pillows were so thin they were almost translucent.

Good for a cheap overnight layover, with easy access to Blackpool. It's just off the motorway, about 10 minutes from Blackpool promenade, with free parking and friendly staff. The room and decor were okay, but the bed squeaked and wasn't good.

Nick, George and all the ladies on the team, thank you 🙏 The staff are welcoming and always up for a good chat, and it's great that certain rooms accept dogs. There are loads of local places to eat down the road. We didn't have a great experience at the BBQ restaurant next door, but that had nothing to do with the hotel. It's a great place to stay right by the motorway.

A good price for clean, quiet rooms, with friendly and helpful staff. The location is excellent, and there's a large car park.

I've possibly never slept somewhere worse, and I've slept in the back of a car. For £95 a night, the room looked about 30 years out of date and didn't seem to have been cleaned beforehand, with fingernails on the floor. There were two single beds pushed together under a double mattress topper, but the mattress itself felt like a blue police station mat. One paper-thin pillow on each side, and the TV was barely bigger than my phone. There was no air con, the window only opened 2", and somehow there wasn't even any soap in the room for £95 a night. I had to wipe my feet on the way out. Wouldn't recommend it, even for the boat jumpers.
