“This is a family-friendly place to stay in Blackpool, with the advantage of being close to the Winter Gardens and the Blackpool Tower. I especially note that it won an award on a national TV competition, and that it features family rooms and an onsite bar. I think it's a very good option for both families or business groups visiting the city.”
