Hotel Queens Promenade (Blackpool, United Kingdom)

This hotel's promenade location won guests' praise because it overlooked the Irish Sea. As it was at the northern end of Blackpool seafront, it appealed to those preferring to stay somewhere a bit more peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Although it wasn't in the town centre, travellers said it was easy to get there by bus or tram or on foot.

According to many visitors, the cosy bedrooms were comfortable, well-presented and clean. There were also thoughtful details like mineral water and tissues. Guests also liked being able to take in Irish Sea views and the sea air from the inviting terrace. The bar with its modern decor and relaxed atmosphere won praise too. Many visitors felt this hotel was good value for money thanks to its usually affordable prices.

Reviewers often said staff were welcoming, friendly, obliging and willing to pull out all the stops to ensure a pleasant stay. The freshly-cooked full English breakfast was plentiful and tasty, satisfying most diners in the mornings.

The free Wi-Fi signal didn't reach all the rooms, which was a drawback for some reviewers. However the service was available in public areas and certain rooms.

Some reviewers felt the decor gave the rooms a slightly dated feel. Others said they found some of the rooms and en suite bathrooms to be a bit cramped.

Motorists appreciated the small free on-site car park, available on a first come first served basis. However, the shortage of paces disappointed some drivers who found it inconvenient to have to use on-street spaces instead.
