“I observed it is a Grade II listed building, retaining its Victorian architecture while offering modern, air-conditioned rooms; the bar seemed lively, making it easy to unwind after exploring nearby North Pier and Winter Gardens Theatre, located less than 100 metres and 300 metres away, respectively. Some rooms benefit from sea views, and the staff appears eager to address any needs, exemplified by quickly providing an extra quilt; its central location suits those prioritizing nightlife and convenient access to attractions like Blackpool Tower and Pleasure Beach.”
