Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Paid parking — Parking is available but comes at a cost, so factor that into your budget if you're driving to Blackpool.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:30 and 20:00, so plan your arrival accordingly — late evening arrivals may need to make special arrangements.
- No pets allowed — The hotel doesn't accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're travelling with a furry companion.
- No on-site restaurant for dinner — While breakfast is a highlight, there's no lunch or dinner service, so you'll head out to nearby eateries like Dg's Fish Inn for other meals.
