Hotel Grosvenor View (Blackpool, United Kingdom)

Many visitors liked the relatively tranquil location in the North Shore area away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. Guests said it was easy to walk to the seafront and nearest tram stops for services up and down the promenade to attractions like the Blackpool Tower, theme parks and nightlife hotspots. Furthermore, there were several dining options within walking distance. Golf courses, the airport, area attractions and beauty spots were within easy driving distance for motorists who also welcomed the free parking.

Budget-minded guests felt they got a decent amount of bang for their buck as the room rates were reasonable for the standard of accommodation in the area. Guests said the well-cleaned and comfortable rooms had cosy beds and a homely feel. There was also praise for the biscuits, sweets and bottled water on the hospitality trays.

Reviewers often said this family-run property was a little gem as the hosts were friendly and welcoming and frequently went the extra mile to ensure guests had a pleasant stay. Diners enjoyed the freshly-prepared breakfasts and the home-made evening meals, saying the food was tasty.

Although most reviewers said the bathrooms were good, there were occasional reports that some of the showers were difficult to operate in selected rooms.

Some of the rooms felt a little cramped, especially when they were accommodating the maximum number of people, according to several critics.

Several visitors wanting to be nearer the heart of Blackpool felt that the location in North Shore wasn't ideal, even if it was fairly straightforward to reach the town centre by tram most of the time.
