Prestige Plaza Hotel

It is easily accessible from the station and bus stop. If you go on holiday from London to Blackpool, you will inevitably arrive late. If it is raining when you arrive, it will be a disaster, but this hotel is easily accessible and close to the city of Blackpool. However, you need to be careful because some hotels around here don't have a front desk and some are not very clean. So I thought it would be better to use Trip.com, which is reliable.

We arrived on foot at around 4.45pm for a 5pm check-in and although there were people in the reception room we were not let in in spite of ringing the doorbell and knocking quite loudly, very soon there was a queue out to the street. Finally, a resident who was going out opened the door and we gained entry and went to the reception room where the process of booking in seemed over complicated and disorganised, after waiting while people were told that the cash-only deposit was stated and someone calling the chap away to show him a problem with their room we finally got booked in and went to the room. Our room was at the front overlooking the street and we thought we might get a lot of noise from people returning to other hotels further up the street. as we settled in we found the room to be quite scruffy and with quite a lot of minor defects so we photographed them (you know deposit) but during our inspection we found the room to be clean and well presented albeit quite tired and ready for a refurb. We didn't get woken by noise from the street but we closed the window as it is November, but summer could be different. At breakfast, that they provided early for us, we had a chat with the owners who, as we thought were new, having only been there a few weeks they told us of their plans and we saw the breakfast room was freshly renovated and looking good along with a decent but basic breakfast. We left feeling a lot better about the place than when we arrived. The Parin is to have a name change soon and I look forward to seeing what they can achieve when we have a return visit. Good luck.

We booked here as a last minute break to go up for the lights with our family of 5. Our room was a family suite which would have slept 6. The room was basic but immaculate. We note the new owners had only taken ownership in the last few days and were very accommodating to us. Some furniture may need updating in the future but more than adequate for use, beds very spacious and very comfortable. Plenty of clean towels, toiletries and loo roll provided. We weren’t advised that a £50 cash security deposit was required on arrival, but this was refunded provided the remote control was returned on checkout. It looks like the hotel had a bar in situ previously but this was not functional during our stay. We feel should this be a facility in the future along with the option to have breakfast at the hotel this would mean we rate the hotel 5 stars. Thanks for our brief stay we will be back soon x
