“The Sapphire Hotel in Blackpool definitely has a social atmosphere, especially for families looking to be near the beach and main attractions. I imagine that the karaoke nights create a lively vibe, and I noticed that it's within walking distance of both Coral Island and Blackpool Tower, which is a great plus. Though some areas show wear, the location makes it an affordable option for those wanting to be in the heart of the action.”

I found the room to be a good size and the decor seemed modern. Free WiFi was available , which I certainly appreciated.

I never received a response after I used the Contact Hotel option to ask about an early check in. The electrics weren't working properly on one side of the hotel.

The staff were friendly and accommodating. Meals were available in the restaurant and the chef was really lovely with the kids. Entertainment was good and the beds were comfortable.

The room needs some TLC. Blinds were too long. There was only one curtain that did not fit the window.
