“The Kings Cross Hotel strikes me as a budget-friendly base of operations, and I appreciate that. Its central Blackpool location puts you steps from the action, especially the Winter Gardens. While rooms prioritize function, the late-night bar, complete with a pool table, extends the day's possibilities, and the staff's friendliness truly seems to make the difference.”

the bar boasted a selection of 45 gins. unfortunately, they had no tonic. lemonade was offered as a substitute, it just wasn't the same. carling beer also ran out so the next customer had fosters lager. i found a definite lack of appropriate bar stock.
