Drivers rejoiced that they could leave the car in the car park and explore the town centre and many delights of Blackpool on foot. The location was reportedly fairly quiet as it was a few blocks away from the hustle and bustle of the heart of the town centre yet close enough to walk to the Blackpool Tower and promenade plus shopping and dining options as well as nightlife, bars and working men's clubs. Motorists said it was easy to get to local sports venues, golf courses and theme parks. The free parking was another bonus.
Several critics claimed some of the en suite bathrooms would have benefited from remodelling to bring them up to a more modern standard.
