“Great location just a 3-minute walk from Pleasure Beach, right on the main promenade with sea views and the illuminations outside. Despite the prominent spot, it was very quiet with no noise at all. The best place I've stayed in Blackpool—I usually pick the cheapest option and am disappointed, but I'll rebook this one next time.”
