Older Hotel/Motel in Blackpool, UK

Craig-Y-Don is an older motel/hotel. There is no air conditioning which made sleeping very uncomfortable for the time of year we visited (Early September).

Average seaside hotel without the promised parking

The big problem was that the advertisement said that parking was available when it was not. No on site parking and the street parking that I was refered to by reception was full and any restricted to half an hour! They gaveinformation on expensive car parks whicch would have made my stay more expensive than in better hotels with parking. Even the hotel next door offered secure on site parking. As I am in my late seventies I had to park illegally to unload and load and walk to a long way to find somewhere to leave my car which left me exhausted. Also there was no bath plug or soap in te bathroom and the bathroom floor was extremely squeeky. Otherwise what you would expect for the price.

This is the first time we have stayed at the hotel and we will definitely be returning. The location is great. All the staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. The breakfast was fab and set you up for the day. The evening entertainment for the adults and kids was excellent. Our grandchildren have loved their stay and did not want to leave. My grandson loves the bingo and gets very excited when you get down to one number. The family room was a great size with plenty of wardrobe space and storage. We all really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent staff, cleanliness and food

Staff were excellent. Hotel clean. Beeakfast was very good. For £65 per night my room was a box toom with a window facing the opposit side o building. The room on floor below was the luggage room so my room must have reolicated this a floor above Id stay here again 100% just tye cosy for the box room was dosapointing. The hotel is advertised as parking available via hotels.com. i filtered for parking when chosing my hotel and Craig y don has NO parking at all. I had to either pay for parking on an ncp or i found a spot on the rd 2 streets away

Good Value for Money

Staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant clean and bright, food good. Bar staff good, had a bar snack so we could have an alcoholic drink due to COVID restrictions, snack and drinks excellent value for money. We had Fishfinger and chips and toasted sandwich and chips at £4.50 each. Pint of Carling £3.60. Bedroom we paid for a sea view £10 extra per night, worth it. Bedroom clean with modern furniture, floorboards very creaky but expected for this type of old building. Bathroom fit for purpose, but very small struggle to use the shower with toilet very close to it, only toiletries is a small bar of soap. The room we had was above the bar and very noisy while music and artist were on, but did stop between 9.30-10.00pm

The only negative we could find about our stay at the hotel was, the pillows and mattress were not the most comfortable (in our room). All the staff were polite, friendly, and helpful, a real credit to the hotel. Situated close to the central pier, right on the sea front, the room was spacious and clean, breakfast was buffet-style, nice and plentiful. We also thought the price was very reasonable, paying £133 for 2 night b&b stay, midweek. The hotel seemed to have a relaxed atmosphere, but also very professional. We’re the pillows & mattress of better quality, we would have given this hotel top marks. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and hope to return again next year, and would recommend this hotel without any hesitation.

Weekend break

Second time staying here, hotel is clean and they have Covid rules in place (although a lot of people did ignore the wear a mask while in corridors rule), sanitizer available in public areas. Room was clean and comfy enough with tea and coffee facilities, staff all really friendly and hotel has entertainment at night. Well stocked bar with plenty of seating available. Breakfast was ok but could have been slightly better organised, they have people serving at the buffet but tea/coffee/juice is all shared and people were having to squeeze past others queuing for the buffet to get back to their tables. Hotel is in a really good location, easy to walk to central pier and central area and tram stop right opposite for further journeys etc. We would stay here again

Mitt i händelsernas centrum.

Vi är mycket nöjda med hela vistelsen i Blackpool. Hotellet var det bästa jag har använt i England hittills. Nära och gångavstånd till det mesta med havet utanför dörren. Rent och snyggt med trevlig personal samt aktiviteter på kvällarna för hotellgästerna. Många små trappor, knarrande golv och trånga korridorer är sånt man får kalla för charm. Frukostbuffé på morgonen är också avgörande för ett bra hotell, vilket fanns. Jag rekommenderar varmt detta prisvärda hotell!
