Whether you want a seafront location or an ideal base to explore Blackpool, the Craig-Y-Don is considered a fantastic choice when it comes to location. Many attractions in the town, including the Winter Gardens and Pleasure Beach, are within walking distance from the hotel.
positive:
Fantastic service provided
Nearly all past visitors were thrilled with the service they received during their time at the hotel. From keeping the rooms spotlessly clean to dealing with guests in a friendly and considerate manner, the accommodation's staff members were highly praised on a regular basis.
positive:
Plenty of on-site facilities
When compared to most other accommodation choices in Blackpool, the Craig-Y-Don is a feature-packed hotel in terms of facilities - something that was appreciated by former guests.

Negative Reviews
negative:
No dedicated parking available
One notable disadvantage of the Craig-Y-Don, at least for those travelling in their own vehicle, is the lack of any form of on-site parking. Limited on-street parking is possible behind the hotel, although various previous visitors had to resort to using public parking facilities during their stay.
negative:
Wi-Fi range restricted
Based on the overall sentiment of past guests, the Wi-Fi was regularly regarded as one of the weakest aspects of the hotel. The range of the Wi-Fi reportedly only stretches to the public spaces of the building, which means that the rooms cannot typically access the accommodation's Internet.
negative:
Small negatives don't spoil a great stay
Other grievances aimed at the hotel include the limited shower pressure on the higher floors of the building, the stairs outside the property and creaky floorboards. Yet despite these and other negatives, the large majority had a fantastic time staying at the Craig-Y-Don.
