399 Prom - Blackpool Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had booked last minute and we got a good deal considering it was the air show and was going to be busy that weekend. When we arrived at the hotel it was newly built and very clean. The manager Dave was very helpful and friendly and always there if we needed help. I would recommend this place to everyone. My kids enjoyed it so much they want to go back there and stay again."

"I've put 5 stars for everything because despite the bad reviews i saw before booking it, for the kids and I on a budget we had a wonderful stay. I love buildings that have a sense of history which is what attracted me to it in the first place. Considering it was booked last minute and for the price i paid we were very well received and we loved the feeling of the buildings vibe, The room was also very clean and we had a great view. Also the kids had a great sleep, The only reason I didn't is because I'm a light sleeper and being the only adult I was on alert 💁‍♀️."

"Ideally located for my needs. Hotel is fine and the best hotel in my opinion in Blackpool. The only downside is food could be better. Scrambled eggs were very watery and did not taste very nice and tomatoes were black. The bed in the room had feet that multiple times I hit my foot on still feeling the pain from the feet. I do not recall any issues on previous visits so think it was just the bed base in my room. I found some stafff were excellent and most helpful and efficient where others were not very helpful. Hotel is clean with good facilities on site. In my opinion is the best option for Blackpool."
